Hey gang , couple weeks ago I came across Cabelas clearing out some of their stuffers due to the sizes (incorrect) of the stuffing tubes ...this particular unit ( 5 lb horizontal ) had the smallest size tube listed as 10 mm ( you would think ideal for snack sticks ) but the size was off , tube size wasn't really a concern to me so I went ahead and ordered one ... hell reg price was 174.99 usd and they cleared them out at 79.88 ... all toll shipped to me taxes/shipping/duties ... grand total of 115.58 
and let me tell ya this little unit is well built , SS steel piston , 2 speeds , very solid cannister , comes with an extra seal for the piston a great little stuffer .
My 30 lb unit has a PLASTIC piston and the cannister not as solid either IMHO , no spare gasket either .
I wanted a small unit for doing smaller test batches / the 30 lber left about 2 1/2 lb at the bottom after the piston bottomed out ( great if you wanted a fatty ) but no good for small batches ... this little 5 lb unit leaves nothing at the bottom except for what's in the tube .
It is very easy to load , easy to take apart/put together and easy to use even alone
only issue was that the smallest tube would only ( just barely ) take on a 22 mm cologen casing , a real PITA butt shouldn't be a problem with natural casing as they will have more give ... I am very pleased with the quality,and especially the price
here's some pics , time to get it dirty
