I ordered a 20 gal parts washer from Cummins Tools (almost exactly like the HF version) for a friend for Xmas. It finally arrived.
This parts washer is very similar in size and function to the Safety-Kleen Model 30 which is what I used in my auto repair shop years ago.
Does anyone use a parts washer in their shop? What solvent do you use? Do you use a service?
I was thinking of using straight kerosene because it is cheaper than SK "Premium Gold Solvent".
Incidentally... if anyone is thinking of buying one of these cheap HF or Cummins or Grizzly parts washers... don't unless you feel like replacing the entire pump mechanism with something that will hold up. The one I got for my friend was broken in shipping. Waiting for replacement now.
-DU-...etc...
