Paint thinner is powerful but it makes your hands very cold, and it is expensive. I use gasoline because it cleans well and evaporates very quickly. Very interesting video. I finally found out the details of the cleaning rags, I was always curious about it.
Paint thinner makes your hands "cold" because it rapidly evaporates thus it doesn't leave anything behind since there is nothing else in it. Gasoline on the other hand has lots of addatives now days to help clean the engine so it will leave stuff behind and doesn't evaporate quickly (as in it can take hours or days)
🤨 ~ paraffin is one of the least “flammable” fuels as it doesn’t readily evaporate, in comparison to paint thinner & petrol which are both extremely flammable ⚠️🔥💥, and quickly evaporate; certainly there will be a risk of using those in a parts washer; of fumes building-up in a workshop
My “tapppy tap tap” screwdriver handle got so bad I had to use a large piece of shrink over the handle and it’s good as new now.😉 Thanks for taking us along, it can’t all be fun and games otherwise they wouldn’t call it work. Bottom line is a clean shop is a happy shop.✌🏼
I have this parts washer and it drove me mad with the little drain hole lol so I cleaned it out and welded a 2” pipe fitting with valve works fantastic now lol faster to clean when you have smaller hgv parts to clean lol thanks for showing dean all the best
We use in our ship a bio part washer „bio circle”. No one was able to stand kerosene, diesel or any thinner anymore. Wurth/berner part washers also not stinking.
Very satisfying haha. But one remark: We want you around for a long time, so: Use gloves. That stuff isn't good for you and getting in prolonged skin contact with it ain't good.
Paraffin is one of the most inert of fuels and doesn’t readily evaporate, you would certainly know if you splashed petrol on your hand as it would immediately evaporate off leaving that ‘cold’ sensation
So what I get from this is that we can tell the moment in the parts washer cleaning cycle by watching how dirty the screwdrivers are in any given video.
Hopefully Draper will take note and make that drain hole a little larger? Perhaps keep the drain valve as is, but include a larger bung to get rid of the sludge more easily!
Yeah people now days never clean the stuff they clean things with. Had a junker guy who came into our store, he had picked up a vaccum (Not a super expensive one but still almost a 200$ bagless new) and someone had thrown it out. He said it ran just fine so I took a look at it... Only thing wrong with it was it needed new filters. Still had the factory ones in there and they were clogged up with dirt and crud. for 14$ got 4 new sets of filters and that thing lived in the store for 4 more years cleaning our enterance mat (and we live in an area that heavily uses salt and sand in the winter) so that thing worked hard in those 4 years till someone maanged to break it sucking up entire loads of dirt, fine dirt and gravel from that mat (along with countless dust bunnies from under the displays)
I love kerosene, but it's a lot more expensive in the US than all our other fuels. For an 18L jug(5 gallons), it's $70US, which is over 63 euros. I can get bulk kerosene at the fuel pump, but it's $7 a gallon here, diesel is $3.50 at the moment. It is a hell of a cleaner!
Awesome video as always Dean. But I gotta ask, how many folks beside myself heard that file hit the floor and thought, now you'll be looking for it awhile longer!
That was most likely coal oil, which is quite different from modern kerosene. The old coal oil wouldn't evaporate from the lamps the way the new stuff does.
Yes, diesel has a terrible odor. Standard kerosene is better but I strongly recommend deodorized (low odor) kerosene especially since you spend a lot if time in the fumes.
I found myself grimacing when you were scraping the gunk off the shelf. Not a pleasant job. How often do you have to clean it out? Noticed your kero was red; the stuff we used in the kero heaters when I was a boy was blue. _I like smell of JetA1 in the morning, it smells like......flying._ 👍👍 *Thank you* for the video Dean.
@@deandohertygreaser Do one part, and next level tidy and clean, maybe the tools you use most area and some new vinyl flooring too please, light oak, but not fussy 🙂
Is the pump in yours the original one? We used to use Castrol cleaner through the one in the family shop for cleaning car bits and the pumps never lasted very long, not sure why. So no pump now, we just do a final rinse with brake cleaner.

the bucket is kept under the drain to catch anything that drips or leaks out. Sometimes things fall and land in the bucket. Obviously they don't go down the drain hole, its always closed anyway.
I like this video very interesting as never had one of these parts washers Could it be possible to make that hole bigger so it can drain quicker or what about a wet and dry vacuum suck up all that thick stuff at the bottom?
Dean when I go on to your home page it keeps saying this channel has no content !? I can find your videos under the video button but it means I can't binge watch. Any ideas
I don't know what's happening there. I'm trying to contact youtube to get it sorted out. Videos are there if you go yo videos, but not under my home page for some reason
It is. As its not carcinogenic, but long skin exposure does lead to tumours according to experts. Not to mention it does cause skin inflammation. Dean told many time that he should use PPE like gloves and what not. So its "do as I say not as I do".
I think you've done a good thing cleaning out your parts cleaner a clean Parts washer doesn't have any bearing on the mechanic and you seem to be an excellent mechanic but it looks more professional to the untrained eye
We always Jizer in our parts washer. It was at a waste water treatment works (shit works) so always gloves on when using it. Always. And keep yer gob shut.
Make sure to wear gloves when using gasoline, kerosene, and the other harsh chemicals because they can really mess up your hands. Neat video to see the whole cleanup process though.
12:06 😂😮Now the wera screwdriver & paintbrushes didnt fit throug the drain so they must've been in the buchet before dumping kerosene.😅😂🛠️🔩🔧👍🏻👌🏻🛢️ ✊🏻🇺🇸🦅
Thank you for sharing Mr Dean it was better than watching Emmerdale with the wife cheers
Glad you enjoyed it
My mum walked into the room while I was watching this video and I immediately switched to porn because it was easier to explain.
Should be top comment!
Brilliant/very enjoyable video as always Dean, thank you very much
I will bet you are amazed at the amount of people who are watching this video just goes to show how dedicated your viewers are keep up the good work

I mean probably, but I feel like an open tank full of kerosene is an explosion hazard. Especially in a workshop.

@@samuelfellows6923 that's probably because paraffin is a solid at room temperature.
@@nils1953 🤨 - it is also available in liquid form for fuel in wick-type heaters and lamps
Very satisfying and with the voice-over from Dean, pure gold. We are satiated for now😂
No one asked, everybody needed ❤❤❤❤😊
Amazed with how your hands are so clean before starting off considering how much dirt and grime you’re dealing with.
My “tapppy tap tap” screwdriver handle got so bad I had to use a large piece of shrink over the handle and it’s good as new now.😉 Thanks for taking us along, it can’t all be fun and games otherwise they wouldn’t call it work. Bottom line is a clean shop is a happy shop.✌🏼
Very satisfying watching and cleaning the useful tools.
The screwdriver had me laughing so hard started crying.
Lol... I thought the dog had used it as a chew toy!
It's the little details like knowing exactly what part it was you left in there and what it belongs in!
Ahhhhhhh, so clean now. Nice job Dean
I just recently started following your channel! Thank you for the knowledge you give us!
Weirdly satisfying, and you found a few tools to boot! Thanks.

Cheers Dean 👍
Well worth the wait.

Well said
Indeed. All sorts of chemicals get absorbed into the blood and are deposited throughout the body, including the brain.
Wondering how he has such smooth skin on his hands. In all the videos I've seen there's no gloves.
My thoughts also
Paraffin is one of the most inert of fuels and doesn’t readily evaporate, you would certainly know if you splashed petrol on your hand as it would immediately evaporate off leaving that ‘cold’ sensation

Workshop lucky dip ! Nice one

The treasures you find in a bucket of Gunk. 😂👍🏻
Such a cool video. Love more like that
Wiha is one of the few manufacturers that stamp their tools ISO or DIN standard
A clean shop is a happy shop. ;)
Nice job Dean.

I hated that job
But has to be done.
Keep up the great videos.
As the old saying goes "take care of your tools and they will take care of you" 🙂

Wow. How therapeutic was that. I was itching to give you a hand😂
A scotch bright pad may be a good addition to the shelf for parts to sit on
Nice one Dean.

So nice of you to post this video.😂
Looks like when I clean out the air fryer.
WIHA for the win.
where i worked we used irsol, its pretty strong so im not sure how it would compare
Screw the parts washer! REPLACE THE NAILGUN TEST BOARD!
😂
Now you nailed it.
Or if not that the 110v case with the cement in it for testing hammer action. It owes you nothing :)
There are so many uses for kerosene . My mother used to put it on our cuts and scrapes and kill bugs with it
That was most likely coal oil, which is quite different from modern kerosene. The old coal oil wouldn't evaporate from the lamps the way the new stuff does.
Cheers Dean. There just isn't enough hours in the day pal.
Dean, my boy, has his parts washer small enough to keep in a filing cabinet when not in use it's pushed back out of the way.
Should get a dustpan, scooping it out would go much quicker
Can you do a video where you replace the sump valve and spout with a 25 mm one? Bit of a design flaw there 😂
in nz kerosine is 4.5x more expensive than diesel, so l always use diesel to clean up. the cost of kero skyrocketed in the 80s
Oddly satisfying
fafty quad is a lot of money😊
Dean prooving you might need a parts cleaner to clean your parts cleaner shelf.
Yes, diesel has a terrible odor. Standard kerosene is better but I strongly recommend deodorized (low odor) kerosene especially since you spend a lot if time in the fumes.
I think you need a bigger parts washer to clean your parts washer.
Isnt it toxic to handle kerozene like water?
leave drain open and move pump to big contaner below tub
Now more videos of it in action...!
And now your wife knows what happened to that tea towel
How long has it been since last time? Very satisfying and thanks for sharing.
Would a citrus or other specialist degreaser work better at degreasing and not have the problem of disposal or the smells or the fire risk be better
awfully satisfying. Is there something wrong with me. Im a chef do I need help ha ha
Nice 🍿
Should be wearing gloves when using keroscene or any other fuel or cleaning chemicals

Would take to long.

You know about the Forth Rail Bridge? Well, apply that to Dean's workshop.
Will the wee pump do hydraulic and engine oil
Awesome video!🎉🎉🎉
What volume is the washer?
On eBay im seeing some for 80€ with 80 liters. Is that large enough?
this one is classed as a 54ltr tank floor standing washer. I have it setting on a steel shelf
@@deandohertygreaser
Thank you so much for the reply and keep the got work going

Yalls kerosine is red? Our offroad diesel is red

Hey dean! Quick question what camera do you use? Especially in the shot where you scrape off the gunk, im really curious!
When will you start repairing more tools dean
Iv been of last week so more coming soon
@@deandohertygreaser okay then we
Looks like deasel? kerosine is white in US.
I have heard that kerosene is harmful to the skin. Have you had any skin irritations so far?
When is the last time it was cleaned? How often do you have to do it?
Hi Dean, what is your opinion on the original Metabo tools quality-wise? (The dark green ones, not Hikoki.)

How many times have you forgotten to close the valve in the bottom before filling it up with new kerosene?
Think this is the first time I didn't forget.
The best Crack is when you forget to place the empty bucket back under the drain as well.
@@deandohertygreaser good to see you're human like the rest of us 😂
That’s an awesome drain, you can get paint brushes and screwdrivers to go through…. 😂
the bucket is kept under the drain to catch anything that drips or leaks out. Sometimes things fall and land in the bucket.
Obviously they don't go down the drain hole, its always closed anyway.
I can't believe raw kerosene all day doesn't bother you. I like my fluid way cleaner haha.
WONDER IF A DISPOSABLE LINER LAYING IN BOTTOM - ROLL THE MESS UP IN LINER AND TOSS ?
I like this video very interesting as never had one of these parts washers Could it be possible to make that hole bigger so it can drain quicker or what about a wet and dry vacuum suck up all that thick stuff at the bottom?
What soap do you use to get all the grease off your hands at the end of the day?
Dean when I go on to your home page it keeps saying this channel has no content !? I can find your videos under the video button but it means I can't binge watch. Any ideas
I don't know what's happening there. I'm trying to contact youtube to get it sorted out.

will the kerosene not poison you? curious
No but the oils disoved into the old stuff could be damaging
It is. As its not carcinogenic, but long skin exposure does lead to tumours according to experts. Not to mention it does cause skin inflammation.
Dean told many time that he should use PPE like gloves and what not. So its "do as I say not as I do".

A.S.M.R video until you used the scraper on the bottom of the tank jeez that made me wince!
We always Jizer in our parts washer. It was at a waste water treatment works (shit works) so always gloves on when using it. Always. And keep yer gob shut.
Isn't kerosene volatile/flamable?
Onlyfumes video :)
Isn't kerosene more dangerous to put through a pump then diesel?
Gloves?
You seem to like those wiha screw dr8vers and bits. Are they very good
I do
Make sure to wear gloves when using gasoline, kerosene, and the other harsh chemicals because they can really mess up your hands. Neat video to see the whole cleanup process though.
Do you flush the waste kerosene down the toilet?
No
You had the chance to buy a bigger parts washer to clean your parts washer and you missed it 🤣
Now I have a very clear idea what the shop smells like....
Krazy question isnt that extremely flammable
Only when in a mist spray
12:06 😂😮Now the wera screwdriver & paintbrushes didnt fit throug the drain so they must've been in the buchet before dumping kerosene.😅😂🛠️🔩🔧👍🏻👌🏻🛢️
