[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1153674, member: 2736"] I know this will cloud the issue, But I have tried and own all three types of brass cleaners and use each one for different uses/needs. If I could only have one type of case cleaner, It would be the Stainless Steel Pin tumbler. It cleans the inside and outside of the case very well and leaves no residue in the cases. It does seem to be more labor intensive because of the rinsing and separating of the pins plus the drying steps required. Next would be the Sonic cleaner because of its speed and convenience. It does a great job of cleaning but requires special chemicals. It does not shine the cases like the other systems, but they are very clean and it does a good job inside and out also the primer pockets are clean. The old vibratory case cleaners don't clean the inside of the cases or the primer pockets at all and sometimes leave an abrasive dust stuck to the inside of the case and have to be thoroughly cleaned to prevent it from being pushed down the barrel when fired. They do leave a nice shine but they require long run times. So If I am doing a small batch of brass I will use the Sonic cleaner. When doing large batches of cases, I use the pin tumbler. cases that have been vibratory cleaned normally have to be Sonic cleaned to remove all of the abrasives in the case so I don't use it much anymore. To recap = My number one type of case cleaner would be the pin tumbler. Next would be the Sonic cleaner (I also use it for parts cleaning). Last would be the media vibratory system. This is just my opinion based on using all three types. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
