Tumble-Bee 2 x 2lb rock tumbler vs Thumler's A-R2
Both are two-barrel rotary tumblers, but they are not the same size. The Tumble-Bee 2x2 runs two 2 lb barrels; the Thumler's A-R2 runs two barrels that hold about 6 lbs of rock each, with a fan-cooled, overload-protected motor built for continuous duty. Buy the Thumler's if you tumble often or in volume; buy the Tumble-Bee if you want a smaller, lighter machine for two small batches at once. No current prices were supplied for either, so compare store prices on each product page before deciding.
