Polishing tumbler

[pearlescence]

My old leaky tumbler is going to be converted to a walnut shell pearl polisher, so I am in the market for a decent tumble polisher..recommendations? After faffing around with mr leaky for years I want something which will NEVER leak

I bought one from Cookson’s and have never had a leak. It is made by Kimber-Allen and has a screw tightened lid. Excellent so far!!

Lortone all the way for me. Mine has been going strong for more years than I care to remember.

If you can't get one (they're hard to find in the UK at the moment), then anything with a rubber, not plastic barrel (rubber barrels don't need vanes unless you particularly want them) and screw tightened two part lid.

Thanks to both of you. My leaky one was rubber, with vanes but had a lid which just fitted with a flange, so any shot getting in under the lip immediately opened the sluices.
What do you think of this one?

I tried one similar to that Wendy - not mine, I'm glad to say, as I didn't like it at all. Horribly noisy and then it just packed up. Which was a bit disappointing given that it cost its owner quite a bit.
