Thumler's A-R2 tumbler
Thumler's A-R2 is our best-selling tumbler. Why? TWO 3-pound barrels enable you to: A) tumble twice as much rock; B) tumble two different materials simultaneously; C) tumble materials in two different steps of the tumbling process; or, D) allow two people to share the tumbler -- with each person getting their own barrel. Those are the extra benefits you get for just $40 over the price of an A-R1 tumbler!
