Frankford Arsenal Stainless Steel Media Pins, for Brass Cleaning and Ammo Reloading

Cleans the brass well.

Good price on stainless STS media tumbling pins. My only issue was, the jar they came in opened in transit spilling most of the contents inside the shipping box. The lid should have been taped shut prior to shipping. All was good however as the carton they came in was securely taped shut so I was able to retrieve all the pins with my magnetic pin retrieval tool I use to remove the pins from my media separator after cleaning brass. Amazon needs to tape lids shut prior to shipping.... Because the pins are 304 stainless, they are slightly magnetic like all STS tumbling pins are. I do a lot of reloading and I only wet tumble my brass in wet media. I use the Frankfort Arsenal rotary tumbler as well.

Works fine. But eventually I bought more pounds, since one jar seems too little. I bought the magnet. Very practical, but pins are very light and jump all over. Magnet saves time.

Like the small size. Perfect for small batches and doesn’t leak as some have said. Just make sure the lid is screwed on correctly. Easy to use with water and metal media. The plastic is thick and the tumbler is simple to use. I keep it in the basement as it is noisy, but that’s to be expected.

These work great in my tumbler. In two hours my brass was completely clean and looked brand new.

These are great BUT consider you must use a rotary style tumbler or rock polisher. It will not work with the vibrating style machine. I use wax car soap (the turtle one) and water ( less than a teaspoon). IF you are polishing LC 556, YOU MUST DEPRIME IT FIRST. I had to throw away 5/100 for fully stuck pins I could not remove and it was only that brand of brass. YOU MUST remove all the pins! one firing with a pin will be absolutely catastrophic to your barrel. Don't listen to the polishing times listed for walnut media. 3 hour MAX. After it will start to leave little dings and eat the brass. I saw reviews saying they loose pins each use. That can be avoided by grabbing each brass and shaking and dumping back into the polisher barrel and rinse in the sink. It doesn't take much more time vs picking walnut out of primer pockets.

This product along with liquid dish detergent (small amount) and Lemi-Shine, in my rotary tumbler, my brass comes out like new.

Perfect the pins clean the brass in a couple of hours

Li utilizzo da alcuni anni e svolgono il loro lavoro a dovere

Limpian bien, el tamaño es ideal porque así se meten en los recovecos de las piezas a limpiar; como punto negativo diría que son un poco abrasivos y eliminan el brillo, dejando la superficie muy mate

sert aux décrassage d'étuis couplé avec mon tumblr humide. Pins ne rouillant pas je les finis au four avec les étuis afin de les sécher

Bon produit.

Reinigen im Tumbler sehr gut. Rosten nicht und sind mit einem Magnet gut zu handeln.
