Our take on the Rebel 17 Tumbler

The Rebel 17 is a heavy-duty rotary tumbler built for cleaning brass with stainless steel media or tumbling rocks. It has a 17 lb total capacity and a stainless steel hexagon drum with a thick rubber liner, powder-coated inside and out. Two motor options set the drum speed: a high-speed 3000 rpm motor turns it at 40 rpm for brass cleaning, and a low-speed 1250 rpm motor turns it at 20 rpm for rock tumbling. It is comparable to the Thumler's Tumbler Model B High Speed but uses a stainless steel drum and a metal base with ball bearings, which the maker says lets it hold more. Owners of similar rotary tumblers value quiet operation and durable builds; this model is aimed at reloaders and rockhounds who want a larger, sturdier drum than typical hobby tumblers.

Questions and answers

What is the difference between the high-speed and low-speed motors?
The high-speed 3000 rpm motor turns the drum at about 40 rpm, which is ideal for cleaning brass with stainless steel media. The low-speed 1250 rpm motor turns it at about 20 rpm, which is better for rock tumbling.
How much brass or rock can the Rebel 17 hold?
The total capacity is 17 lbs. The drum holds 4.8 quarts of water and measures 9 inches in diameter with a 7.5-inch hexagon opening.
Is the Rebel 17 compatible with Thumler's Tumbler Model B drums?
The drum is the same size as the Thumler's Model B barrel, but it is made of stainless steel rather than rubber. The base uses larger ball-bearing shafts, which the maker says allows a higher capacity.
What voltage is available for international use?
An international model is available in 230/240V for Europe and Australia. The US model runs on standard US voltage.
What is included with the Rebel 17?
The tumbler includes the base, the stainless steel drum with rubber liner, and the motor. It does not include tumbling media or rocks.
How loud is the Rebel 17 during operation?
The maker describes it as very quiet, thanks to the rubber-lined drum and ball-bearing shafts. The high-speed motor will be louder than the low-speed one.
Where is the Rebel 17 Tumbler cheapest?
At STM, for $269.95, as of our latest check.
