Best cleaner I have ever owned.
I have gone from the basic Corn cob tumblers to the next fluid and Ceramic beads which plugged the primer pocket, and then I bought the Hornady Stainless Steel Roof with Cleaning Fliud again stuck in the primer pocket. And hard to dry. Now this Unit is Just what I was looking for. cleans the Brass perfectly and then place them in the Dehydrator, work’s rather fast and very clean. Highly Recommend this Unit.
Works Awsome!!!
Works amazing! Quick, efficent, takes good size loads, quiet, and priceless when comes to speeding up case prep time. Thankyou Brownells for having it instock, cause it's impossible to find anything thus year!
Works as advertised!
This machine flat works as advertised. I use it mostly for parts cleaning, secondarily for brass. It is well-designed; easy to use (RTFI); has great useful capacity; and is attractively priced, esp. given capacity and competition. I only wish I had gotten it long ago.
Gets After It
I've had a few ultrasonic cleaners before for various purposes. This unit is easy to understand and run. Dirty brass doesn't stand a chance with this one.
Pleasantly Surprised
Worked as advertised. One thing to remember, this is a cleaner, not a polisher. It will remove all dirt and carbon, but if you desire that gleaming brass, you will also have to do some dry tumbling, afterwards. But, you too, will be pleasantly surprised at how well this equipment works.
Great Product
I use an RCBS 87055 Ultrasonic. I started out with an unheated ultrasonic and didnt have real great results. The first solution I used in the current cleaner was the blue stuff and it worked pretty good. It is my ubderstanding that it is being discontinued. I recently purchased thhis product and like it better, It seems to work faster and seems to do a cleaner job on the primer pockets. I use it at 16:1 (considerably stronger than the recommended 40:1 but weaker than the max 10:1) . I have not seen it turn any of the nickel cartridges black or blue at that concentration . Works great!
User Friendly and Thorough Cleaning
Recently purchased this unit. The first time I used it I cleaned over 300 cases without a hitch. The directions were easy to follow, and the brass came out clean inside and out. Some primer pockets needed a little touch up which is understandable. 20-30 minutes and your brass is clean. A very good product.
Way to go RCBS !!
I'm a big fan of M-PRO 7. I have been using it for over 2 years now. The only draw back is it's a little high priced for the first round cleaning of a dirty weapon. I thought I would give this RCBS Weapon Cleaning Solution a try for the first bath to extend the life of my M-PRO 7. It worked great !! I used a 20:1 mixture ran it in my ultrasonic cleaner at 140 degrees until the weapon was 95% clean, wiped it down, used compressed air to blow out all the hidden areas. I inspected the weapon and WOW was I surprised at the results! The ultrasonic tank was full of fine debris and oily deposits. No doubt it performed better than advertised. This product is not over priced and works well, I suggest you give it a try.
Great Product!!
I have been using this product for over 2 years on recovered range brass. It works great. I de-prime the cases and then run them through my ultrasonsonic at 140 degrees for about 1 hour. Cuts the time in the tumbler in half. Add a little liquid car wax in my corn cob and the cases come out looking better than new. Give it a try its worth the time and effort!
Read the Directions!
This product works excellent if you follow the directions. Some things that you must use. The heating element, the degassing function, and real cleaning solutions. Using home brews, especially ones based off soap or simple green, cause foaming and bubbles. These are counter productive, can cause cavitation, and damage to the casings. Understanding the directions, and how it works, can save you a lot of trouble. I was able to clean 4 times fired .45 and 4 times fired .223 brass in 20 minutes. The first thing you need to do, is to use hot tap water, and allow the brass to soak for a couple minutes. As the unit is heating up, go ahead and place the brass in the solution. Then use the degassing function, I do this twice. Set the timer for 20 minutes, and you will have clean brass in 20 minutes. Very rarely does it need an extra 10 minutes. Also you need to wash the brass, and dry it afterwords. Secondly you can use this to clean all kinds of things. Weapons parts, jewelry, all kinds of goodies. IF YOU USE THE RIGHT CLEANING SOLUTION. Everything you need to know is in the directions. If you follow them exactly it works. I have cleaned thousands of pieces of brass, in a matter of hours.
