I have a Thumblers vibrating cleaner that is 15 years old (about) and lieterally operated 24 hours a day from October to April with half of the time under heavy load FMJ bullets, rather than brass and it still is going strong. From Oct to April was approximately 50,000 308 cases, 30,000 30 Carbine cases, 10,000 223 cases, 50,000 223 fmj bullets, 100,000 30 cal fmj bullets, 20,000 30 carbine bullets, 2000 50 cal fmj bullets, and on and on, but that's the bulk of it.

If it dies tomorrow, it doesn't owe me a thing.
