    Thinking of getting one, as they went on sale, but i can't think of uses for it.. i mean i can clean my injectors..
    maybe my tools, and little circuit boards..

    but what other uses is there with an ultrasonic cleaner?

    Why buy something you have no need for?

    was thinking i might need it in the future to clean everything, (mostly car stuff, but since i do a ton of soldering at work now, was thinking.. but meh) but i can only use it for several things, ended up passing it up, got a power brake bleeder instead as that was on sale as well

    Why do you need a power brake bleeder? Why not just a hose with a valve and your leg?

    Because he has no friends!

    Just kidding funkgab. It's just too easy to give you shit. We all love you though, no homo.

    edit: Nevermind, didn't see you (Dustin) said "hose with a valve". Luckily for me I do pretty much everything with my cousin whom I share the garage with, therefore there's always 2 people for things like bleeding brakes. Or if one of us gets frustrated, the other can take over. Mostly it comes in handy when doing bigger jobs like motors, because one of us will do all the stuff on the top, and the other will do all the stuff on the bottom... again, no homo.

    oh i'm so blaming you guys when i go emo one day.. i used to use the 2 person method, but my friend's arn't all that into cars.. i mean sure they like to drive/ride fast but they won't even know how to mix coolant, or clean out a damn window switch.. (one of my friends has an 325, had a coolant leak, mixed it with tap water :O) and the 2 person method could get a bit messy and if your partner sucks, you might be stuck with bubbles.. and you know thats no fun, i live in an apartment, so the landlord gives me crap all day about the floor, until i pressure wash it (sucker pays for water bill and has no idea i have a 200ft hose) but with the power bleeder its pretty simple and not a big mess...not to mention my car does have abs

    i got a motive one for euro cars, got an adapter for japanese cars, and a brembo adapter for bikes
    i had a 100$ off motive giftcard, and it was on sale, so it came out to a total of $40 which isn't bad at all
