- Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2012Style Name: Case TumblerVerified PurchaseI've owned a few different tumblers/agitators, both vertical rotational "drum" designs as well as horizontal vibratory "bowl" designs.
I currently own a RCBS case tumbler and plan to purchase another soon.
I was looking for a sooner-than-later 3rd option to start dedicating mediums (instead of constantly swapping out from one medium to another, depending on operation, etc.)
Keeping costs below what I expected to pay for another RCBS, I stumbled upon the Frankfort Arsenal Quick-n-Ez Case Tumbler.
Pictures weren't really helpful in regards to the quality of construction, noise is always a factor on vibratory units. Price was almost "too good to be true" for my standards.
I'll report that when the unit arrived, the packaging was shockingly well made for such an inexpensive product. Don't be confused though, it was nothing to write home to mom about. ;) Just a cost ratio observation.
Nothing was damaged inside and assembly was finished in less than 5 minutes. "Destructions" were glanced over afterwards, which are well written missing only a binding *chuckle* Pictures make assembly for even a child Poka-yoke. Tumbling Tips are provided as well and a MUST READ for any novice reloader. Take note that even when this unit is purchased independently, it appears that the Rotary Separator Assembly and the Quick-n-Ez case tumbler share assembly & usage instructions. Thought out, controlled documents, FTW! Kudos.
With past experience with vibratory units, I took the liberty to add a medium strength thread locker to the threads, even though star-lock washers were included. (I also replaced the star-lock washers with split-lock washers and relocated them inside the cavity where the square nuts are placed for assembly, this prevents the unlikely chance that if the thread locker fails and the Philips screw falls out, that I don't lose additional hardware in the process.)
The clear plastic lid is robust (thanks to the aggressive molding design) and clear enough to see the cases as they are agitated through the medium.
Measured noise was a little higher than past tumblers I've owned, in the low-mid 70's dB @ 30cm (with lid on + medium + a few dozen 7.62x63MM cases). Very acceptable in my workshop without numbing out any background music.
All in all, doubt I could of invested anymore time searching for anything better, bang for buck - risk worth taken on an excellent purchase and I'd recommend this product to anyone!

- Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2025Style Name: Case TumblerVerified PurchasePurchased to clean brass. I did add a piece of rubber tubing over the center rod which I recommend. I was shocked at how quiet it is. Gets great rotation on brass with walnut. I added nushine to it which moistened the walnut and made it rotate the brass better.
Cleaned a couple thousand rounds and I’m happy with it.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2014Style Name: Case TumblerVerified PurchaseI recently got into reloading after months of research and reading up on the mandatory reloading manuals. The first step of reloading your old brass is cleaning it up. This does just that - and well. I acquired my walnut media from a pet shop. It's about half the price of actual "reloading media" despite the fact that it's the same stuff. I got 7lbs. for $10. My first load of 500 .40 S&W rounds took about half the bag (3.5lbs.). The manual says to fill your tumbler 2/3 full. Hopefully that'll help put things into perspective as to how much media you'll need. Also, your media is reusable. After reading up on forums, I did what it seems like a lot of seasoned reloaders do. I put my media in and then I put 2 cap fulls of Nu Finish car polish. Let this run without any brass for about 15-20 minutes. It'll be clumpy at first, but will dissipate within that amount of time. Then add 2 ounces of mineral spirits/paint thinner and let that run for a few minutes. Then add your brass and let it run for a couple hours. Your brass will come out cleaner than you can imagine. Nu Finish is ammonia-free and is one of the only safe polishes to do this with. The mineral spirits (preferably odorless) will help to clean up the carbon deposits and help to break away the crud within the casings. Some will say that running your tumbler for 30-45 minutes is "clean enough." Others, like me, prefer a like-new shine. From what I've read, this is achieved after 2-3 hours. My 500 casings came out shinier than factory new. I also took 2 used fabric softener sheets and cut them into quarters and threw them into the tumbler. They help to attract the light red dusting of the walnut shells and save you some of the hassle of clean-up.
Now, you can buy this tumbler in the kit form that comes with the rotary media separator. No thanks. I've read nothing but bad about that separator. At this moment, the kit is double the price than just the tumbler. Yeah, you get some corn media and polish, but you're better off with walnut and a method of separating that won't break on you. I made my own sifter that was about the size of a cat litter box using some 2x4 and some 1/4" mesh. When I'm done tumbling, I pour my batch onto the sifter over a littler box and give it about 60 seconds of some shaking and it's done. This method won't break on me and it was cheaper, as I already had the material on-hand. After sifting, I dump my brass onto a full size bath towel and fold it over and rub them around for a few. This creates an even higher gloss and also rids the casings of the remaining fine dust.
Lastly, learn from my mistake. My first batch, I mixed in some .357, .38 and 9mm with my .40. Do one caliber at a time. I just happened to pick all the calibers that turned my brass into a matryoshka doll. The .357/.38 fit perfect into the .40. With the walnut in between the casings, it'll look them into place so they don't tumble free. You'll have to physically pick them out and pull them apart. If this happens early on, then you won't have the insides of those casings clean. A few had a 9mm inside of a .40 with a .357/.38 capping it off. Point being, tumble one caliber at a time if they have the chance of mating with one another. It'll spare you from having to run the tumbler again.
All-in-all, I'm very happy with it. It's quiet for what it is. People that complain about the noise, well, it's a TUMBLER! It tumbles brass. There's going to be some minor noise, but it wasn't as bad as I thought. I let it run in my well insulated garage and I couldn't hear it once I shut the door. I can't imagine these being any quieter. The noise isn't from the motor. Just the brass in the tub. If you need a tumbler, this is definitely worth the price.

Amazon CustomerReviewed in Canada on May 18, 20255.0 out of 5 stars Much quieter than expected
Style Name: Case TumblerVerified PurchaseThrilled to be able to use this unobtrusively in my apartment. Tumbled multiple sets of metal pinball parts since purchasing to great results, using walnut media (be aware that you must purchase this separately). Instructions are great, assembly is easy, the plastic bowl is that texture that loves static and therefore pet hair, but if the functionality is top notch.

Style Name: Case TumblerVerified PurchaseGreat tumbler for the price but make sure you buy a transformer for uk use to drop the voltage to 120 volts and it's still cheaper than buying a w30 volt tumbler
Hercules BReviewed in the United Kingdom on January 14, 20251.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY IF IN THE UK!
Style Name: Case TumblerVerified PurchaseThis was bought in October for a Christmas present. We then had to buy the tumbling media and so it wasn't actually turned on until the 13th of January so outside the return window.
Within a few seconds of turning it on smoke came billowing out of the machine. It was clearly about to catch fire.
On checking the safety label it says 120 v. The UK is 240 v so how they are allowed to sell these here is beyond me
