Hello, wondering if ultrasonic cleaners are good for cleaning your brass? Pros? Cons? Any info you could offer would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
 
Yikes ! That's a monster

I've got a small 10 litre capacity Amazon special I use for gun parts, magazines, jewelery, tools, garden pruners, car parts, carburetor off the mower, chain saw and lots of other stuff.

You can find lots of homemade cleaning solution recipes online.



Indeed it is, it will hold a 16" AR 15 upper to clean.

Has four transducers to do the work, and as a bonus comes with two full unopened Hornady One Shot sonic cleaning solution jugs......:)

The price on these units have skyrocketed though, just like everything else in the shooting sports. Over $1400.00 to buy new.....:(

Interestingly the Hot Tub has a 9L capacity. The difference is the shape of each, long rectangle vs a square.

If the hot tub is in fact worth $1400 new then those Amazon ones like you have are an amazing price!
 
I use a 3-Litre cheap Vevor unit with soapy water just to clean the resizing lube off. 15 minutes. Then I rinse under the tap and pat dry and then dry them in the oven at 195 F for a half hour.

This Vevor seems to be fine but the first one I got crapped out after a week or two so I got them to replace it. Vevor is Chinese and their customer service is obviously poorly translated engrish. They started with a ####ty offer and I had to argue with them to get replacement.
 
I had a lab-quality US cleaner that I used for Walther competition triggers and other things. Made the mistake of using it with EDM cleaning solvents to clean EDM parts during tear-downs. Worked like a charm, but the chemicals ate through the tank and ruined the circuit board. Recommendation: Soapy water, dish detergent - not nasty chemicals.
