KomeStone Professional Rock Polisher Tumbler Kit, Extra Large 2.5 lb Barrel, 3-Speed Motor, 9-Day Timer, Includes Rough Gemstones, 4 Polishing Grits, 3 Belts, K1220726000

Over the years I have dealt with having rocks thrown into the saddlebags on the motorcycle, a floorboard with a zip‑lock bag full of rocks, porch railings lined with rocks picked up from the yard, and quart mason jars sitting around hidden in places I didn't even know existed in the house. So this rock tumbler was one of the best gifts I think I've ever given to my rock freak. First words out of her mouth when she opened the box were “I got a rock tumbler,” and that smile said everything. I ended up getting a full Rocks 101 lesson for pretty much the rest of the day. This is one of those gifts that will make somebody smile and act like a kid turned loose in a candy store. As for the tumbler itself, it's a solid setup. The 2.5 lb. barrel holds a good amount, the motor runs smooth, and the timer and speed settings make it easy to use. The barrel seals tight with no leaks and stays put while running. It's not silent, but for a tumbler it's quieter than most. The kit comes with everything you need to get started, and it's a good choice for beginners or anyone wanting a larger barrel without spending a lot more. Watching her load up her first batch of rocks was the real win.
