Chicago Electric Tumbler

[DaFadda]

Thought I'd give kudos to Harbor Freight Tools tonight. One year and 11 months and 23 days ago.... I purchased a large 18 pound Vibratory tumbler. Here is what I got:

At the time, I got it at a new store, and the price was $119. I also purchased a two year extended warranty for an additional $19.99.

I have beat this thing, used it, ran much larger amounts than I probably should have through it at any one time, and it has never so much as "hiccupped." Until of course... tonight when I came home with some range brass to clean. I turned it on and heard nothing but a Hmmmmmmmmmm..... shut it off quick.

Went to my desk where I keep my important stuff and right on top was the two year warranty receipt. Picked the unit up, took it to Harbor Freight and the guy smiled and said "yup! Two year warranty. Hold on I'll go get you a new one." ON TOP OF THAT.... I was able to warranty the NEW one for another TWO YEARS and he even discounted the price. Two year warranty for $11.99!

I know that if this had happened on the first of November, I'd have been pissed off, but if it's going to break... let it break just before the warranty runs out!

By the way... best Tumbler I've owned. Large capacity, very very quiet, much quieter than the RCBS/Franklin I had before.
