    I've always used a vibratory cleaner, but is tumbling better?
    The wet tumbling in itself makes it seem worth it, but I just wanted to see what people think.
    I know tumbling has got to be quieter. :D

    I have used a vibratory tumbler for almost 40 years. It does what I need it to do. And quickly.

    I do not care if my brass looking so shiny. I just want it to be clean of dirt and grit (to reload) and lube if already loaded.

    used a Rock tumbler starting out long ago..
    then Dillon vibratory cleaner.... it makes quite a bit of noise... unless you
    have some form of sound proof "box" around it.mines either in garage or
    front porch.

    Wet tumbling "can be" with the DIY version I've built has way less noise
    compared to the Dillon. Just a thought.

    everyone has their way of cleaning brass, even a cement mixer works great
    for those large batches..coat the inside with some spray on rubber, mainly if
    it has metal paddles inside...
