Bolt cleaning tool

Post by Frysl »

Hello all,
I’m curious if anyone out there uses bolt scraping tools that I’ve seen on line, and what you think about them. As a person that has always used a bronze brush to clean the baked on gunk off of a bolt, it just don’t seem right to scrape those metal surfaces. That being said, I’m certainly in favor of a better way to skin a cat.

ultrasonic cleaner is the *only* way to clean them.

run 2x 8 min cycles on mine, with heat and basic US cleaning stuff (the bottle that HF sells) and i wipe the carbon off with a rag 90% of the time. sometimes it needs a quick touch with the scotch brite, but thats after a long suppressed session.
