[QUOTE="Jimm, post: 100654, member: 9"] Well, my Frankford arsenal vibe case polisher died about a year into its life . I must admit it ran as long as units twice the price . At my use level I get about a year on any of them. A couple of days before it checked out I received the latest Harbor Freight sales rag in the mail . While scanning it I noticed something I hadn't seen there before , a vibratory case polisher and on sale for $39.99 . So when mine died two days later off I went and purchased one along with a one year full replacement warranty for an add'l $9.99. Yeah , I know that is a big gimmick cuz they probably know it will squeak by that time allotment before it leaves you high and dry . Thing is I will be ahead even if it does as this unit cost me less than any I could buy and that with a warranty as well. If it does crap out inside the warranty period I will be even better off ( assuming the replacement unit gives comparable service ), I have been running this new rig for a few weeks now , these are my observations so far : 1. It is a lot heavier than comparable sized units of others manufacture 2. The pattern of movement in the bowl is different from all I've had before ; i.e. it runs in a circular fashion with a slight amount of trading up and down hill while all the others I have owned were far more up and then down with very little lateral movement , I am referring to the path the brass takes of course .The other major consideration is that it provides the same results in a shorter period of time . I usually " look in " on the bras after 8 hrs or so and go from there , which is usually another 8 hrs or so. This unit is achieving the same results as the others I have owned in approx. 3/4 the time . Also it seems to clean the inside of the case better ( I know I should get a ultrasonic and move on , but thats for another day/year ) This thing may bite the dust tomorrow and if it does I will report " toot suite " Jim B.
