Worst acrobatic medium I've ever used.

Worst acrobatic girder I have ever used. Aside from the inferior packaging (an extra shot drips out of the bag in my mailbox), the product is inferior to other similar media I use on a daily basis. In the parallel test, this carrier does not even begin to polish the metal at the same time while the other carrier is being finely polished. I had to leave this medium literally overnight to do the same job that my old medium, Stainless Steel Shot, Jeweler's Mix, 2 Pound Package, did in less than an

OK except for a lot of undersized cheap looking pins

I had to go through all the tiny pins because they are so small they get caught in jewelry - often not on one side - side by side - and went through a rather flat mesh strainer, which is my first time using it for rinsing shots and jewelry. The tiny pins are so attracted to the magnet that they follow it and are held on by two layers of thick plastic. I'm not sure if it's stainless steel. Tiny pins account for a significant portion of the total weight. All other parts - balls, saturn shaped…

Add to long 1 star list. Too bad there is no zero rating.

Buy elsewhere. Much of this frame is made up of matte gray pins studded with steel wire. I'm not sure if these little things are rustproof as I've never really seen matte gray stainless steel. I used a new rubber drum, this new grit, both rinsed well, used a polish and after 45 minutes I checked to see if I had found my overall sterling color and the matte finish of those horrible little bits of wire that didn't show up clearly in the photo. I can't think of any use for them and am disappointed

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled
