Walnut Media

RickV · February 12, 2009, 09:24 PM

Just thought I would throw this out there for anyone looking for a good price on walnut media. Me and a Bud split a 25lb box of 24 grit walnut media from Harbor Freight. It was $25 ($26 and some change after the state got their piece of the action) so it works out to just over $1 a pound. Not a bad price especially if you split it.

Just so you know you can find Walnut media at PetSmart if you have one near you.

My WalMart doesnt carry walnut media? I hate WalMart anyways...nothing but Chycom junk anymore.

At my WalMart you are lucky if they restock something that was sold out.

Not sure about the stuff at Wally World or Petsmart but the stuff at Harbor Freight is a fner grit which is for polishing Brass and Aluminum. Usually material used for litter is coarser grained.

The stuff I buy is finer than cat litter... It looks just like the Harbor Freight stuff (I shop there too). As for Walmart selling chinese crap, so does Sears or anyone else. If you don't want to buy chinese now then you can't go shopping.

The neighbor's wife had a baby a couple of months ago. For the baby shower she stipulated that no clothes be of chinese manufacture. After a trip around Seattle with my wife she had to change that requirement. There are very few clothes for babies made anywhere else.

I buy ammo (American made), walnut shell and corn cob (American made), and beer (American made) at Walmart once in awhile. I stay away from electronics and tools there though. I've seen them throwing DVD player boxes around.... The tools they carry are Stanley and they are garbage. I do buy grocieries there from time to time but not often because it's a 20 minute drive. I will say they only carry chinese fish so I never buy seafood there. The danged frozen salmon filets labeled "Alaskan caught" in big bold lettering says "product of China" on the back in fine print. I almost went cross eyed on that one.

I own two American cars and only one imported firearm and it's a Springfield XDm. Hey, when I want a new TV please tell me where to go to buy American. Simple fact is though, it's all stores not just Walmart. Where's your Craftsman drill made?

That's our fault as consumers. Now we're paying dearly for it.
