I'm wondering (because they are cheaper) if the Tumble-Bee 2lb and 4lb barrels are decent and if they fit and work well on a Lortone 33B tumbler. Anyone have any experience with their barrels? thanks
Edit: I just noticed they do provide the dimensions on their site, same width as the Lortones so it will fit. Now I'm just wondering about quality, mainly the seal I suppose.

This is the first I've heard of this brand. It looks like a knock-off of Lortone tumblers, with some improvements. I like the ribbed drive belt. Lynn

Is there a website to check out the product specs?

I have no experience with Tumble Bee. I would guess it's a far east import vs the American made, again. If I were interested in the brand, I would call KinsleyNorth. Ask their opinion, I have found those folks to be straight forward.

I think the KN catalog is where I first saw them so that's a good idea.

Lynn I read a comparison somewhere that they run louder than the Lortone's, not sure if that was due to motor or the barrels or the belt. Wasn't real big on details.
