Finally tried those ultrasonic cleaning tanks after years of doubt

I had a batch of fuel nozzles from a PT6 that were caked with carbon, and after 3 hours of manual scrubbing I only got 2 clean. Threw them in a $400 ultrasonic tank my buddy lent me and they came out spotless in 20 minutes. Has anyone else had a tool they thought was overhyped that actually saved their back?

Sold my impact gun after I got an old air hammer working on rusty bolts.

Man that's the dream right there. My impact gun just sits in the drawer looking at me like it knows I'm scared to touch the rusty bolts on my old truck. Tried using an air hammer once and just ended up with a sore arm and a bolt that still wouldn't budge. Pretty sure I own the only impact gun that strips bolts instead of loosening them. Maybe I should just sell mine too and accept my fate with a breaker bar.

Respectfully, keep your impact gun. Air hammers damage more than they help.
