For $70 for the parts washer, and $18 for the diesel, I dont think it can be beat. I have to turn it on, then whack the side of the pump to get it to turn on, but it turns on. the only downside is that it pumps WAY to much.... I need to get one of those brush wands, then it will be sweet.
I just washed off about 1 pound of sand out/off of a 2.5 sand rail block... Pretty clean compared to what it started with. Now its off to the dishwasher....

Harbor Freight FTW!
Is it by chance heated? The parts washers with the heaters are the best.

How does your wife not want to stab you?

Actually....dishwasher works really well for cleaning parts.....they make industrial ones for parts washing.

Josh, we've got a big parts steamer/washer. I guess you could put dishes in it if you want it to have them blasted by industrial degreasifying soap...
Still, how does that conversation go?
Doug lugs an oil covered block through the living room
Mrs. Vincent - "honey, what are you doing?"
Doug - "motor washin"
Mrs. Vincent - "oh... ok.... dinner is at 7."
