Ultra Sonic Cleaner Report

[paid4c4]

After reading about Ultra Sonic cleaners I decided to purchase the Lyman as sold by Brownell's http://www.brownells.com/reloading/c...prod53989.aspx

I've read things like if you don't buy one for a thousand dollars with a jet engine don't bother and none of them work. I've also read many posts on forums that like Ultra Sonic cleaners and got good results. I called Lyman CS and discussed their models. They advised to buy one from Brownell's use it and if I didn't like it return it. I bought the one I linked and am very satisfied with it. I primarily want it to clean guns and gun parts usually 1911's or M1 Garands. I used the cleaning solvent supplied with the kit for steel and guns to clean several pistols I used at the range earlier in the week. The combination of the vibration, cleaning solution and hot water cleans really well. A word of caution, if you clean anything steel which doesn't have a finish be sure to oil it after drying because the Ultra Sonic removes all oil and grease. I am satisfied with the Lyman and for my needs it's just what the doctor ordered.

I use one I picked up at HF for cases ive shot with Black powder. I have to use more than the recommended amount of solution but it does clean them up nicely. I havent used it for parts yet but it does have a heater and the heater on works much better than cold.

I've always wanted to try one, in my current sized shop it isn't happening though.

Heres a hillbilly cleaner, Turkey Fryer and boiling water for big greasy parts, remember those grease caked 1903's? Tied the small parts on a string, dipped them in the water for a few minutes and pulled them out. Parts get hot so water evaporates immeditalyhttp://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f197/Garandlover/misc/MVC-003S.jpg (http://s47.photobucket.com/user/Garandlover/media/misc/MVC-003S.jpg.html)
