Review on 🔌 Electric Capacity Torin Cabinet Washer by Chris Drury

I need parts cleaner from time to time; but it never really happened. My pre-purchase experience with parts cleaners has only been with larger commercial cleaners. Over the years I've considered buying one, but haven't used it often enough to make room for a large standalone unit. I bought a classic Ford Bronco a few months ago and had to overhaul the transmission; So I needed a good way to clean all the parts before putting them back together. I discussed using a bucket; but I'm glad I went ahead and bought it instead. It's light and small, so I was able to mount it on one of the counters in my garage and nothing else got in the way. It was easy to set up and looks good for the most part. So far I haven't had any problems with it and it works very well. However, he is not perfect. First, the strainer that should be fitted to the pump is too big and doesn't fit; So it doesn't stay on the pump like it should. Instead, it falls down and settles on the bottom of the pan. Second, and the only other complaint I have, is that it needs a variable speed pump or slower. The solvent is pumped too fast for such a small container, so you have to be very careful with part placement and solvent flow; Otherwise, you will end up with a big mess on the floor, walls, yourself, etc. But you'll learn to deal with it pretty quickly. It would be nice if you could slow it down so it doesn't splatter all over the place. But a careful person can make it work. Oh, there's one more thing I almost forgot to mention. The work platform (a flat piece of painted metal with drainage holes that you place the parts in while you clean them) is a little tricky to get into place and remove at times. I glued to the fuel nozzle and sometimes to other places as well. Not that it's too difficult to practice and get into position, but it might be easier with a better fit. Luckily, once installed, you probably won't uninstall it often. I also have a suggestion. It would be nice if the unit had a drain plug, but only if it's positioned so the solvent can be drained from the top, leaving the remaining sand and dirt at the bottom of the pan where it settles. I had to change the solvent in the middle of my transmission repair and ended up salvaging the solvent from the swamp with a water bottle. I was able to remove almost all of the solvent (so it can be reused) without disturbing the settled dirt. I then washed the sump and refilled it with clean thinner to complete the restoration. You can use a pump to pump out a large amount of solvent, but you probably need to connect a hose to the air purifier outlet hose, or you need to be very careful not to spill the solvent everywhere. Also, it's easy enough to take the cleaner and pour out the solvent, but I think doing so will likely stir up the sediment in the process. Anyway, this is just a suggestion. Maybe in the future I'll buy and install my own drain plug. This little cleaner has helped me tremendously with my gearbox work and I'm sure I'll be using it a lot more for years to come.
