My 40 year old Cuckoo Clock stopped working a couple years ago. Cleaned the movement with contact cleaner and relubed with no luck. I saw these Ultrasonic cleaners and decided to give it a try. For the cleaning solution I used Simple Green and water. After throughly drying it and lubricating with synthetic oil, it runs as good as it did when it was brand new. Surprising how much gunk was pulled off that movement. Very happy with the results.
Nice! These things really get into a lot of places you can't even see. Glad to hear your clock is working well :) Thanks for dropping by & have a great day! @RCInsiders
Hi, Yes, you can use it in an ultrasonic cleaner & it works very well! That stuff is amazing for sure. Do you have an ultrasonic cleaner now? Thanks for dropping by & have a great day :) @RCInsiders
Have the same cleaner and mainly use it for jewelry, carburetors, and gun parts using a 1:4-5 solution of simple green. Does a pretty good job. The only problem I have is after the third time I used it the temp control doesn't work. The temp keeps climbing above the set point. Just have to keep an eye on it
Thanks for the heads up John! My only issue so far is that I can't stop washing stuff in it 🤣 Been pretty excited with the results so far. I'll try to make some future videos using different chemicals & mixtures. I've used simple green before & I know that works pretty well. I think the next thing I'll try is super clean as I've had great results with that as a degreaser. How long have you had your cleaner? Thanks for dropping by & have a great day :) @RCInsiders
@@RCInsiders I've been using it for about 5 years now. Latest projects were cleaning disassembled motorcycle carburetors from a Honda shadow 750 and a Honda xr250. Both carbs were really gunked up from using ethanol fuel and it did a great job 👍
Hi, Yes. I will coat lightly with 3-1 oil & let it sit for a bit & then wipe off excess. I have used wd before as well. Do you have a preferred oil for tools to prevent rust & build up? Thanks for dropping by & have a great day :) @RCInsiders
I guess I was expecting it to turn things new looking again. But, really when you're using tools they never look new. The important things is, they are usable again. Nice share👍👍7
Yes for sure, There are tons of different chemicals you can add to them for different effects. The most important thing to me is cleaning the areas you can't see or reach. This cleaner did a good job & next time I'll add some rust remover to add a little shine :) Have a great day! @RCInsiders
@@RCInsiders yeah, the fitting was male threaded on one side and hose barb on the other. I couldn’t find the correct size part at local hardware store, so I wrapped the shit out of the under size fitting they sent with it. It’s a no pressure valve, so it leaks only a little bit when I drain.
Hey off topic but if I don't have a smart charger how can I yell what the voltage is on my lipo rc car batteries ? And How should I store them in the house ? I just got the haiboxing and I have 4 batteries for it ! from what I'm seeing on the batteries it has me worried !!
Hey Timmy! Without a meter you won't be able to tell the voltage. You can try it with a multi meter. I store all lipo's in a lipo bag. Better safe than sorry.

Sorry for my bad English because I’m French Canadian from Montreal. The units working on 15 amps breaker or 20 amps breaker? Thanks for replying 👍🏻. I want this unit for cleaning chains ans cassette for my bicycle 🚴🏻

Hi, It is approximately 10 1/2" x 5 1/2". You can get the exact dimensions here - amzn.to/3WZgtbY What will you be cleaning in it? Thanks for dropping by & have a great day :) @RCInsiders
@@andrelouro88 Gottcha. I feel like it should fit the 6l, but definitely check the dimensions. I have not cleaned a carb yet, but from what I hear, they do an excellent job.
I have that exact model. I guess mine was made on a friday, it barely fizzes at all when it's on. Every one I see on UA-cam just blasts..not so much with my Vevor, ordered direct (not harbor freight)
Hi, That's unfortunate. I have only used this one a few times so far & it works great. As soon as you turn it on it gets very aggressive. Are you filling it up with enough water? Thanks for dropping by & have a great day :) @RCInsiders
@@RCInsiders oh yes, more than 3/4 full. I use mine for carburetors (small engine) and it's full of carburetor cleaner. It heats properly and it comes on and buzzes, but not as loud as you'd expect and minimal agitation

I wonder if EvapoRust would be safe to use in one of these? Absolutely amazing stuff for removing rust - I swear by it!
Hi,
Yes, you can use it in an ultrasonic cleaner & it works very well!
That stuff is amazing for sure.
Do you have an ultrasonic cleaner now?
Thanks for dropping by & have a great day :)
@RCInsiders
If you put the parts in a jar with cleaner, you don't have to spoil the entire bath...so you can do multiple cleans with the same water. Nice video.
Thanks!
Thanks for the info. I have not tried this yet.
Does this method work just as good?
Thanks for dropping by & have a great day :)
@RCInsiders
@@RCInsiders Works exactly the same...though you may lose surface area if doing a lot of parts. You can u]se a plastic sealed bag in that case.
@JACKnJESUS Awesome! I will give it a shot and thanks again!

What size is the drain valve? The hose barb they sent was way too small. I'll just buy one from hardware store.
Hi,
I believe the drain valve is 1/2".
Was there a fitting that goes on the end of the hose with male threads?
@@RCInsiders yeah, the fitting was male threaded on one side and hose barb on the other. I couldn’t find the correct size part at local hardware store, so I wrapped the shit out of the under size fitting they sent with it. It’s a no pressure valve, so it leaks only a little bit when I drain.
