Chicago Dual Drum Tumbler: TWO THUMBS UP

After dropping off the lil' one at school this morning I was dead set on hitting up the local Harbor Freight. I've never been to one before, and honestly, in my naive opinion, I figure most of what they sell is cheap crap, so that's probably reason number one I've never stepped foot in one.

So I drive on over, thankfully only maybe 5 miles away... walk in and wow! This place is like man heaven, haha. They pretty much have everything a guy could want in that store. So really having no clue where to start looking, I just browsed around. I go down the aisle with home safes in it and low and behold I find the highly sought after Cen-Tech "pinpointer". Two on the shelf. A little farther down the same aisle and I come across some jeweler style magnifying glasses... I pick one up... further down, coin rolls and coin sorters... I couldn't resist. I did also see plain white nail aprons for like $1.99, can't beat that. When my TC's and White's aprons get too trashy, I know where to go for a backup!

I end up looking all over for that Chicago Dual Drum tumbler. Nearing the power tools, I see it. Up on the very top shelf, only two of them. I'm tall enough so I scooped it up. Turns out it was on special for $36 (I think regularly around $50-something?). So I bought that, but couldn't find the replacement belts or the abrasive to put in it anywhere, even though it was advertised in their store flier. I didn't have time really to browse much more, so I purchased and left.

The Chicago Tumbler, IMO, is pretty sweet. It gets the job done quite well and doesn't hurt the wallet. I tumbled about $3 in pennies, $5 in dimes, $2 in nickels and $10 in quarters... each for about half an hour with no abrasive, just water and dish soap. And jeebus, I was very surprised at how much brown came out of those things, haha. I know with abrasive it would have been better, but at least they are much cleaner than when they went in.

Two thumbs up for the Chicago Dual Drum Tumbler!
