Title: Parts Tumbler Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on January 25, 2006, 12:10:09 AM Has anyone heard of or seen a parts tumbler?
I was watching Classic Car Restoration last night and they had what was like a kitchen food processor, but it was full of plastic media. You put your dirty/rusty parts in and it leave it for an hour or so and they come like new.

I got it from my father in law who used to use it for cleaning bullets before he reloaded them ( used to be into pistol shooting ) When he got out of the sport he had no further use for it so I ended up with it. You can buy them from a gunsmith , etc .
