"Neat part, is to heat the cleaner to a zillion degrees then let it vibrate overnight. The plug up would have to be a real ****-kicker to overcome this gizmo"
My dad was a dentist. He had an ultrasonic cleaner in his office/lab when I was a kid. For obvious reasons we couldn't use it on automotive parts, but it did work well on coins, jewelry, silverware, hand tools, dental instruments, etc. Water (with a little soap) worked best as the cleaning fluid. We never tried it but I'm guessing that any high specific gravity fluid (1.0 sg or above) would be good since it uses sound waves. The cleaning fluid works best when its density is greater than what needs to be cleaned off. It did seem to work better on exposed surfaces rather than long blind passageways or deep crevices.
