Yes, I have run most of my nuts and bolts through the tumbler. It's a 2 step process - 1st is the green plastic triangles and then walnut shells. I just run it for a long time. Probably 48 - 72 hours for the plastic media and 24 for the walnut shells. I'm pretty happy with the results. The benefits are that you can do stuff in batches; it does the work for you, and it really cuts down on the chances of losing parts. MUCH better than my previous method of the wire wheel on the bench grinder (watch the parts FLY across the room) and the parts are cleaner afterwards.
