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!
MSRP: $286.22. Our Price: $209.99
Available as a kit for just $279.99

Thumler's Model B: The largest rotary tumbler that we sell. Has a 15-pound capacity barrel and a larger motor than the tumblers above. Used for tumbling rocks, but it is very popular for cleaning brass casings. Has a thick rubber liner to prevent leaks and to run quietly.
