Harbor Freight 5lb Vibratory Tumbler Review

Bought this HF 5lb metal vibratory tumbler to clean, deburr or polish small parts and hardware. I tried some fine and course walnut media, then some suggested additives / compound.
[UPDATE: It Broke, I only used it a few times after these vids really. Now all the HF tumbler does is hum, so I ordered a Raytech Vibe TV-5. Stayed tuned for a video]

Hate to hear that. I've had mine almost a year and it's still tumbling. I don't use it an inordinate amount but I do use it. I have the same issue with condensation on the inside of the lid. I added NuFinish to the media as a lot of folks use it for polishing brass. I wonder why that causes condensation?

Thank you.

So.. not for rock tumbling? ( wet media)
