I thought those ultrasonic cleaners were just a gimmick for small parts
A friend in Boise loaned me his for a week to clean up a rusty 1911 slide, and the results after three cycles were shocking. It pulled gunk out of the serrations and firing pin channel that I couldn't even see with my borescope. Who else has been surprised by a tool they didn't think would work?

Yeah, I was totally in that same boat. I always figured they were just for fancy jewelry or maybe cleaning glasses. Then I threw a grimy carburetor from an old lawnmower into a buddy's unit as a joke. The joke was on me when it came out looking like it just left the factory floor. All the tiny passages I was dreading to pick clean were just... clear. It completely changed how I tackle any complex cleaning job now.

Man, it's wild how often the simple, boring tools end up being total game-changers.
