     I've never used one of these ultrasonic cleaners for any parts.  The wife has or had one for her jewellery, do they work and what liquid would you use in them.

I recently acquired the best and most handy tool a tradesman could hope for, it roll's up ext leads, packs the truck and even sweeps up at the end of each day, I'm talking about an apprentice.
My son Tom started with me and after 20 years of working totally on my own he has been a godsend, physically I'm heading for knackery and after 6 weeks I'm really wishing I did it 10 years ago, he's one of those kids that was totally bored at school but really loves being hands on so it was a no brainer really.
Back in my day you needed 3 tradesman per apprentice but today it's the complete opposite, I was stunned how easy it was to get it all organised so if anyone else is thinking about it , go for it.

Zane they work a treat, I've done carby's(even magnesium) in the Aldi cleaner just have to flip it over, I use kero for that but it gets a bit hot after 6mins. Going to try boiling hot water and some dish washing liquid(what jewelers use)next time. However big it the tank is it will never be big enough I'm waiting on a 5 litre(240 x 150 x 150 tank) was $198 off ebay from China.

Going to try some of that cerrabend looks very handy thanks for that

how good would a 9 inch maiting tool be

I used to have one of these but it seems to have shrunk over the years, now i'm lucky to get 6 inches out of it..... hmm memories!

I remember when I was an apprentice and the trady I was helping asked me to run off and get the reproduction tool from the store room, everyone I asked had the same gaging expression on their faces...

This is a handy tool, especially if you're putting an engine into a frame its not intended for......lining up the sprockets with the lazer helps get the engine in square.

I've always wanted a hydraulic bike lifter, finally got one.






Think this is a bit of overkill though!!!!!!
