tumble or vibrating?

[AZOUTLAW]

Hello everyone! I just received a vibrating tumbler as a gift. It's a central michinery 5lb capacity unit from harbor fright. My question is do I keep this one or exchange it for a double barrel or single barrel tumbler? Which one works better? Thank you for your advise!

depends what you use to tumble with rock or steel or walnut shell. i use that same tumbler i use rock mostly unless i get some real bad coins off the beach then i use steel ,put a little water and dish washing soap in it works good .

Yes it is a really nice gift! Looks like I'll be using rock to tumble with. Leaning towards the double barrel so I can do pennies and clad at the same time

I would get the double barrel for the exact reason you posted. I have it and it's great.

I do all my copper stuff in one and everything else in the other.
