    OMG 6 wing nuts, thats about as bad as loading a full 10Round mag.

    With that said I picked up a thumblers at a garage sale for $30.00 I am just waiting for my pins and i will make the dive into wet tumbling. Been using a vibratory tumbler for 6 years so we will see.

    The Franklin Arsenal (Midway) wet tumbler looks like a good deal. Cheaper than a Thumlers + steel pins. AND the FA COMES with 5lb of steel pins. Much better deal. AND from what I see, it has just a large lid to spin off, with the Thumlers (I have the model B), you ahve to UNSCREW 6 wingnuts! What a pain!

    If I were to do it again, I'd get the FA kit.

        Yeah, I looked at that, will probably get it too.

        You'd think 6 wingnuts (and washers) isn't annoying, but you'd be wrong.

          Those fluted nylon knobs are the ticket. They come standard on the Rebel and work very well. Use two hands and they go on/come off darn near just as fast as a threaded lid.

            I think I have figured this out and it's not the Lemi-Shine at all. I believe it's a new shampoo my wife got, same brand, but not for dry hair but normal.

            I believe this is my issue with my hands, not the Lemi-Shine at all.

            I am going to get that Working Hands lotion to see if that helps!
