Extreme Tumblers Rebel 17 Ammo Reloading Rotary Tumbler 110V Drum

Description

Product Overview

The Extreme Tumblers Rebel 17 is engineered as a high‑performance 110‑volt rotary tumbler designed specifically for ammunition and brass cleaning. Constructed with a heavy‑duty metal drum, the unit measures a compact 14.17 × 14.17 × 14.17 inches and weighs 17 pounds, offering a solid footprint without sacrificing portability. Inside the drum, a thick rubber liner cushions the media, protecting both the case and the tumbler components from wear while ensuring optimal media movement. The tumbler operates at a quiet speed, making it suitable for home workshops, small commercial reloading facilities, and hobbyist environments where noise reduction is valued. With a capacity of 350 rounds per cycle, the Rebel 17 can handle medium‑size batches efficiently, reducing turnaround time for cleaning, polishing, and deburring tasks. The unit is powered by a standard 110 V AC source, eliminating the need for specialized electrical installations. All critical components, including the drum, motor, and media separator, are designed for easy replacement, extending the product’s service life and simplifying maintenance.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the Rebel 17 excels in both wet and dry tumbling applications. Whether you are reconditioning spent brass, polishing stainless‑steel media, or performing a thorough clean of mixed‑metal ammunition, the tumbler’s adjustable speed settings allow you to tailor the process to the specific media type and desired finish. The thick rubber liner not only protects the drum but also reduces vibration, making the unit safe to operate on standard workbenches or garage floors. Users can load the drum in bulk thanks to a convenient top‑loading magazine, which streamlines the reloading process and minimizes downtime between cycles. The quiet rotary action ensures that the tumbler can be used in residential settings without disturbing neighbors, while the robust metal construction guarantees durability even under continuous operation. Ideal for reloaders, firearms collectors, and small‑scale manufacturers, the Rebel 17 provides consistent results whether you are preparing ammunition for competition, cleaning brass for resale, or maintaining a personal inventory.
