That's what I bought a year ago to fix a mower. Comes with a basket to hold the parts. Possibly the best $20 I've ever spent. Since then I've used it to fix a miata, 3 push mowers, 2 weed eaters, 2 leaf blowers, and a pocket bike. :cool:


Although after reading this thread, I will be looking for a gallon of cat ****.
LOL!!! this thread needs to go in the best of part of the web site if it has one..

So NAPA has a small parts washer for $20?

My parts washer works for all sorts of jobs,,mainly washing out bearings and freshly ported parts..
im going into STL today and hope to be leaving with one. that depends if a couple transactions i planned out go through.

wait, plastic you say? so will plastic hold up to most of these chemicles?

just wondering because i have an extra wet saw pump and a 55 gal. plastic drum/barrel and if you think it would work in the solution id probably make one with what i got handy. just wasnt sure if plastic would hold up???
It would depend on the rating of the plastic. Most likely the drum will be fine, but the pump probably won't hold up to it.
