Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Good Morning folks: If you have a Thumbler's Tumbler, I found these nifty little nuts that replace the wing nuts used to fasten the top. Much more convenient for me -- my 69-year-old hands/fingers always hated using those little wingnuts. Tried them yesterday on my weekend brass, & found them easier for me to use. --Dawg https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TESQX46?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palouse Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Should work on Lortone barrels, also. Large barrels, 7.5". The original tiny-little-plastic nut needs a slip joint pliers to get snug enough to prevent leaks. Lortone nut has a notch that rides in a tall light aluminum "L" bracket notch; keeps the barrel(s) from wandering while spinning. (Not a critical function.) Rotate the brackets as necessary to make it work. Only need one per barrel. (Pic of top of large, full-height or half-height tumbler barrel.)
