I just got a wet tumbler for Christmas, before that I used a vibratory tumbler for years. I doubt I ever use it again. Wet tumbling is way better and faster.
I dont bother with with the pins or de-capping, just dump a bunch of brass into the tumbler with a good shot of armor all wash and wax, a table spoon of straight citric acid, and the hottest tap water my sink can muster. Set the timer for an hour in case I forget about it but usually stop it at about 45 mins. Pour off the water, fill back up with clean tap water to rinse a couple times, dump the cases out on a big beach towel to pat dry, and finally spread them out under a ceiling fan to dry out. Cases look brand new on the outside, and the insides are plenty clean for me. I could care less about clean primer pockets in pistol brass.
When I start loading .223 rifle brass I may use the pins then.
