TIL those cheap ultrasonic cleaners actually work for small parts
I was always skeptical of the $40 ultrasonic cleaners you see on Amazon. Figured they were just toys that would break after one use. Last month I grabbed one to clean some clogged injector nozzles on a dishwasher. That little thing got them spotless in 5 minutes after I'd been soaking them in vinegar for two days with no luck. Anyone else find a use for these on stuff besides the usual carburetors?

Did you try running them with some simple green or just plain water? I picked up one of those cheapies to clean some old brass fittings from a plumbing job and was surprised it actually got the gunk out of the threads without scratching anything. Makes me wonder if the expensive ones are just overpriced versions of the same thing.

Yeah exactly, a lot of times you're just paying for the branding. I've had the same cheap ultrasonic cleaner for years and it does the job fine on brake parts and carburetors.
