Frankford Arsenal Quick N Ez Vibratory Polishing (855020) 4921

Preface

Have used this one time and it did a good job. As others have noted, vibrate tumbling doesn't do the best job of cleaning the inside of the brass. But, given enough time it does do a reasonable good job. If you need the inside to be shiny new looking, then rotating is the way to go. This unit is quiet when assembled correctly. It makes about the same noise as a back message vibrator. The Best quicknez vibratory case tumbler as-of ( Sep 2018 ) | Battenfeld-Sporting Goods Review Included Frankford Arsenal Quick-N-EZ 110V Vibratory Case Tumbler for Cleaning and Polishing for Reloading Specs: this tumbler holds up to 600 9mm or 350 . 223 cases. Ease of use: cord operated with an on/off switch located on the cord. Convenient: remove fouling easy by pairing this tumbler with frankford arsenal walnut hull or corn cob media .

Frankford Arsenal Quick-n-ez 110v Vibratory Case Tumbler For Cleaning And Polishing For Reloading Review (855020)

Works well. They die after about ten years, but all do it seems. Buy a back-up when they go on-sale as these can be sometimes priced really well. I reload a lot, pistol, target rifle and ar-15 and ar-308, at least compared to most people, using a sonicator with my own home made cleaning solution as my "first stage" in cleaning brass then one of these tumblers as the "second stage". Even terrible tarnished dirty brass comes out shiny and clean inside and out, giving me more consistent loads for target shooting. (i weight-sort, neck turn, flash hole de-burr etc. For my target and varmint hunting ammo so precision and clean brass is important to me). . One important thing with any vibratory tumbler of this design: don't put an excessive amount of brass in at once making it work too hard. That burns out motors quick. Follow the instructions and be conservative. -S. Arnett

Frankford Arsenal Quick N Ez Vibratory Polishing (855020)"Works great. Used lizard walnut shell bedding with a bit of brass polish as some have suggested and it works terrific. I clean my brass in an ultrasonic cleaner, then throw them in this tumbler for about 30 minutes for a great shine. Nice results, not too noisy. Would be awesome if it had a time, but alas, it does not. To scoop out my brass i use a slotted kitchen spoon and just go digging for them. I don't find that too cumbersome, and it seems easier and less messy and expensive then some of the contraptions i've seen for this purpose."

Frankford Arsenal Quick-N-EZ Impact Bullet Puller Reloading

This bullet puller works very well. I have only used it on 9mm ammo so far with no problems. If you are into reloading and make a mistake once in awhile, you need to get one of these tools. I didn't like having live ammo mistakes sitting around on my reloading table. It's nice to be able to fix those mistakes when they happen. It comes with three different size collets for a wide range of calibers. The collets are three pieces each and they have a groove around the outside edge. An o-ring fits in the groove to hold the collet together. The bullet slides into the center of the collet up to the head of the case. The bullet and collet are placed in the tool nose first and then you tighten the cap. There is a piece of rubber inside the tool that cushions the bullet when it comes out of the case. Give it a couple of good hits on a wood block and it's done. It's nice to recycle all of the components of a live bullet and reuse them. Great tool and it's easy to use!

When you need to pull some bullets for whatever reason, an impact style tool is the easiest method. One stern whack and the bullet is separated from the brass. Three different collets are included allowing you to pull bullets from almost every caliber, rimmed or rimless. The versatility alone makes this bullet puller the only one to have.

Quick-n-ez Impact Bullet Puller (Frankford) FAQ.

I took a while to get hang of it. Get a 4x4 on end. You don't have to hit with full strength but good solid raps and let it bounce. Check lock ring every couple whacks. I had some new 44mag loads that were start loads when loaded but now show as over max charge with latest data. Very difficult to pull. My rcbs collet puller couldn't budge them. Not even vice grips would work. This saved me at least $50-60 in brass and bullets, paid for itself first time. Just needed to get technique. About 10 good raps on end of a 4x4 on concrete, check lock ring every few times. -Notice from Z. Debra, Barnet

Click to Show quick-n-ez impact bullet puller (frankford) Details

I tried pulling bullets from 3 rounds, and had given up after 20-30 whacks, each round, on solid wood- the end grain of an oak scrap! i did not have a successful extraction yet. Thought i might break this thing wide open. And i'm thinking-. "i know how to swing a hammer, i'm a carpenter. I have the finesse. This stupid $* ! thing oughtta work! ". . So then my buddy tries it on the concrete floor, with a small piece of corrugated under it. Sure enough, 2 blows and the bullet is out! so, contrary to the instructions, you need a wicked-haahd surface to whack this thing against. Not the endgrain of a piece of wood. Then i had him extract the rest of 'em! . . So i changed my review from 3 stars to 4- it's good, it works now, i like it, and i don't think it'll break. 4 because the instructions said use wood. (yeah, i read the instructions, i know)

- J. AngelaI bought this puller to remove some bullets from incorrectly loaded hand loads. It did everything as promised. I was a little concerned about how i was going to separate the powder from the bullet but the design of the hammer makes this very easy. The end of the hammer is shaped into a cone and the powder goes into the cone. Just tip the hammer at a slight angle and the bullet slides out and the powder stays in. Could not be any easier.

Leave a comment if you have any questions and i can either take some photos or give more details. . I've used this mainly to pull 9mm reloads or failure to fire rounds; and for that purpose it's worked very well. . If you're trying to pull tightly crimped projectiles you might want to look into an item called a collet puller. . I had mixed success getting this to pull the rounds on hard surfaces (25lb weight) but had fantastic success against hard rubberized surfaces like a 5lb dumbbell. . If you have a piece of 1/4 thick metal and dip it in rubber paint or cover it with some type of rubber spray paint then attach that to your bench it would work well to absorb some of the force but still give you a hard surface. A 4 inch by 4 inch square would be a good size. . Smacking this on metal started to form internal stress cracks. After switching to a solid rubberized surface it seemed to reduce the cracking and increase the speed where bullets were pulled. . I would buy this again if it breaks.

The F.A.Q. for frankford arsenal quick-n-ez 110v vibratory case tumbler for cleaning and polishing for reloading

This tumbler is great. You can have it up and running minutes after unpacking. It does a tremendous job and i am very pleased. It's perfect for the small hobby reloader. The noise factor is a non-issue for me. I like everything about the unit and am certain it will last my lifetime. Ok, now the "rest of the story. ". . I received this tumbler june 9. I actually placed the order may 26 and it shipped out of lexington, kentucky on may 28th. So, it took nearly two weeks to arrive. Oddly, fedex carried it cross country for the post office. Yep, you read that right. The usps contracted with fedex to do the actually shipping. Tracking records show it left salt lake in the wee hours june 2 but it didn't show up in idaho falls for six days! it's a 3. 5 hour drive from here to slc. Go figure. I was extremely frustrated with the whole shipping snafu. Beware. . Now, here's a tip. Go to a big box pet store and buy lizard bedding. You can probably get a 10 quart bag for $12-$13. It's finely ground walnut shell and it's far cheaper and works better than the ground walnut shell you would buy at a gunshop or a big box sporting goods store. I'm not even using any chemical additive in the lizard bedding and the casings are turning out beautifully bright and clean. One 10 quart bag is a huge amount of tumbling media and should last the average small reloader a really long time.

A number of questions have been asked here.

Best frankford arsenal quick n ez vibratory polishing (855020) in review

Handles about 7 brass cases at a time. Fill bowl 3/4 full with brass, then add media so it is nearly full when running for maximum effect. Much quieter than my previous harbor freight. I use corn cob media and a capful of brass polish for two hours. I use a defiant timer from lowes so i don't have to remember to turn it off.

V. Bethany, New Jersey

R. Anonymous, California says

I've run about 15, 000 cases through this tumbler, and it still works like a champ. I bought a cheap outlet timer, set the tumbler to run a few hours in the garage before i go to bed, and i've got shiny cases waiting for the next reloading session. I couldn't be happier. As a sidenote, i recently bought an ultrasonic cleaner. It is much faster and will also clean many things i would not put in a tumbler, such as jewelry and gun parts. But my brass doesn't seem to get any cleaner than using a tumbler (maybe the primer pockets get slightly cleaner, but hardly noticeable), and the tumbler leaves them shinier. I continue to be pleased with its performance.

E. Olga, North Carolina

The tumbler arrived early in the week. I visited the pet store and purchased a bag of english walnut reptile bedding and ran about 200 rounds through. Everything was nice and clean. I haven't tried a polish additive or corn cob yet, although the corn cob is on order, but i expect it to work perfectly as well. Some have mentioned getting a knob to replace the cheap wing-nut, so i ordered the jw winco steel 12l14 tapped knob, also with prime shipping. I'm running it now with the new knob and no washer and actually think it's running quieter with the new knob on it. It's meaty, so maybe it absorbs some of the vibration. For the price, i would definitely add it to the cart when purchasing.

M. Monique, Buckinghamshire says

I put this in the garage, on top of a wooden stand. Set a few screws around the base to keep it from shifting off during use, used it for about a month so far. I like it for what it produces. Results! its fairly quiet while its running, the most noise it makes is when it turns on and off. I wouldn't use it in the house unless you are single and don't mind constant jingle of brass and the motor. My shop is 20x20 and it doesn't drown the music out from the radio, it would be quieter if i placed a rubber mat under it and maybe a ventilated box over the top of it. But that's getting to the extreme. Would i buy it again knowing what it does? sure. Would i suggest it? if you aren't doing thousands of rounds a week, just a few hundred over the course of the month. Go for it.

B. Widmer, Montana

I have this setup in my basement, the sound travels to every corner of my home. I'll need to create a baffle box. Or use a ac outlet timer to run this while i'm not at home. Having said that it did a good job. I ran 5-600 rounds. Of decapped 9mm for 3 hours using harbor freight walnut blasting media without any polish and i'm satisfied with. The results (see picture). . I'm just getting started with reloading again. I used to hand load 38 special with a lee classic (your press is a hammer). Cleaning brass for a wheel gun consisted of wiping it down and blowing out the inside. Remember, they didn't have all. This fancy stuff when they reloaded their own ammo back in the wild west days ; ). Semi-auto handguns however require. Cleaner cases and i'd like to increase my volume so here we are. . I think this is great for someone just getting into the hobby but the noise pollution may compel you to upgrade to a quieter. Model sooner than you had originally planned.

W. Guest, Newcastle upon Tyne says

This works great. My only complaint is that it is made in china and not the usa. I used walnut shell (lizard bedding from petco) and a small amount of nu finish car wax. 2 hours later the results were great.

K. Alma, Bexley

I was worried about this being way too loud for apartment living. I just make sure the lid is tight and i drape a towel over it to muffle the sound a bit more. My downstairs neighbors can't hear a thing and i forget it's on until i go into the room it's in. None of my brass is particularly filthy and this delivers a clean shine in about an hour and a half using corn cob media and cabela's brass polish.

Q. Bertie, Corse says

I polish brass and projectiles in this. It works very well. I'm using this as polishing media zilla reptile terrarium bedding substrate desert blend walnut, 5-qt. By zilla. The only possible caveat is that it's rather noisy if you don't tighten the wing nut correctly. I used loctite on the central post and it seems to stay put.

P. Dorothy, Berlin

We use this at a shop, so believe me it gets a lot more use than a hobbyist would give it! . Have left it on all night more than once, the thing is sturdy beyond belief. Bought this one from online store over a year ago, by the way it cleans cases great as well. Unbeatable for twice the price. Highly recommend.

A. Anonymous, New York says

Works as advertised! takes a few hours and is not very loud, i have mine in the shop, where i load up the brass, walnut chips and let it go for 3-4 hours and brass is shiny and new. It helps to remove the primers before tumbling so the primer pockets get cleaned also. I use two batches of walnut media, one set for initial cleaning and another batch for final cleaning and polishing with brasso added, keeping the two batches separated in containers until i need to use them. The ground zilla walnut shells work great and last a long time, several hundred brass casings so far and still going, ordered here on online store. Yes the wing nut on top is lesser quality, but not a problem, change it out if it bothers you, just don't tighten it down too far. The wing nut included is still in use after several months of tumbling. You can overload the tumbler (all of them) by adding too much brass, just go by the directins and good common sense and the tumbler works fine. Arrived quickly, great quality! comparing the same tumbler in local sports stores, this one on online store was $15 less!

H. Widmer, Medway

These little guys last a long time and do a great job for the price. I tumble all kinds of brass and throw in a little liquid wax with lizard bedding (crushed walnut shells) and have gone through several of these tumblers. They will eventually wear out (motor dies) but it takes a long time to kill one. If i could buy cheap replacement motors i would be even happier, because the rest of the assembly does not wear out at all!

L. Nellie, Arkansas says

This is my second fa case tumbler. The first came as part of a set along with the media separator. The drive just decided to stop on the first one. . The first came assembled, but this one had to be put together. This is a good thing as, after assembly, this tumbler ran much more quietly than the first one. . My only objection is that the media, when running, tends to swirl rather than fold over

N. Anonymous, Warrington

I took a chance on this tumbler, given its low price in comparison with similar machines on the market. I have started restoring straight razors and needed a way to get a high shine on the blade. It doesn't work quick and it is not silent but it does the job exceptionally well! my blades come out with a mirror shine you can read news print off of. . This tumbler is not quite but i have heard the same of many other similar products. I have run this machine 24 hours a day, with only short rests, for over a week now. No overheating at all! during the day, the noise is not bothersome. But i am a light sleeper and with the tumbler in my garage 35 feet away, i can hear it. Closing my bedroom door is enough to allow me to drift off easily. I intend to make a box with sound proofing material. I do intend to be running this machine a lot! . . I had a concern with the threaded rod being exposed and nicking my blades as they tumbled. I took care of that with a very small funnel, approximately 1 1/2" to 2" tall that i put around the bottom part of the nut and threads. I then used some plastic toilet or sink water supply line which i had to drill out to allow it to slip over the remainder of the exposed thread. It works great! no more worry about nicking my blades and the tumbler works even better. Ends up i did not have to put the supply line plastic on as the way the tumbler circulates, no item in it comes near the upper threads, just the very bottom covered by the funnel. But the upper thread covering gives me piece of mind and when i put the cover on and tighten the wing nut, it compresses the supply line and helps to hold the funnel in place. . Something i learned by observation: the tumbler is suppose to have a horizontal clockwise rotation as well as a vertical rolling or "tumbling" action. I noticed that at times i was losing the horizontal rotation which is necessary to allow the machine to work at its best. I learned that tightening the wing nut down too tight will affect this rotation. Just ease up on the nut a bit. You should see a visible horizontal and vertical rotation and you know things are hunky dory! . . Highly recommended!
