    I love felt pad. so useful. I also like to put them on the bottom of my plant pots to keep from scratching shelves and other surfaces!

    I mounted bearings for my tumbler to run on , instead of the plastic stopper .

      @@MD-zd5so I have some of those too but wanted to try something softer first . I do have some plastic bearings with glass beads for another time

    Looks like it will last longer than the plastic paw. How about a BELT replacement ? The original belts don't last very long and neither the "two pack" replacements.

      I have some access to replacement belts let me do some digging and I’ll see what I can find, thanks for the question

    The barrels are the only thing decent about that tumbler.

      Right I agree but for the money and 2 year warranty they are a solid option for entry level hobbyists. The price of the unit is the same price as 2 3lb replacement barrels 🤣. So I see them as a great value. When the unit dies and warranty runs out the barrels will be useful for spares for other tumblers.
