Cleaning up Headlight Buckets...

[redgum78]

Thanks for sharing that. I have been considering a U/S cleaner for sometime. I think this has convinced me that I need one!

I just put it in "my cart". It was $146 earlier, now it's $154! WTH? That was like 4 hours ago. I swear we get spied on.

You do. Clear your cookies every time you walk away from the 'puter.

Actually the 40A is some kind of size code...

Ah yes. I didn't dig into the specs, just saw the 40A and thought, wow, unplug your stove to plug in that bad boy.

Appears to be the same for $137?

I'm on my 3rd ultrasonic tank. Love them.  I really like the dimensions of that one in the link, and the heater function is a big plus. I use them for cleaning gun parts, small engine parts, and rifle/pistol brass.  I've tagged that one to my wishlist and maybe Santa will notice it.

Yup amazon does this. Try clearing your cookies and/or use  a different device. I've had some luck with doing this. I shop in the private or incognito mode to try and avoid this. When you see a deal and know it's what you want, buy it then.

Another little trick, if you have smaller parts that you want to use something a little more aggressive on you can fill the unit with water & fill a jar with whatever chemical you want to use, solvent, lacquer thinner, gasoline, evaporust... What ever, then put the parts in the jar & put the jar in the ultrasonic cleaner... The ultrasonic action will pass through the jar & act on the solution & parts in the jar....

For smaller parts...LOL

Just curious. What gun parts do you put in there?

The blurb I read mentioned black powder pistols used in cowboy shooting, but barrels or complete pistols of an acceptable size could also go in. Grungy mags, speed loaders- am I showing my age here- or brass as mentioned. For me it'd probably also include the mentioned carbs and small stuff you want cleaned.

That's a cleaver idea

Are headlight buckets galvanized coated?

Wow!  That's pretty slick!  and cheap.

Anything that will fit.  You have to be careful to not leave them in there too long or the cavitation action that does the cleaning will affect the surface finish, especially if polished.  The larger ones will take an entire handgun, assembled and you can blow it out and oil it.  The make some pretty big units now that you can put an entire engine in but they are $$$$.

I've also used my rotary tumbler with stainless steel pins with water and detergent to clean small parts.  Gets carbon and hardened gunk off very well.
