Pew Pew Reviewz - Hornady Lock-N-Load 2L Ultrasonic Cleaner Review

[@duffkw]

I guess I don’t understand, if one REVIEWS a product, basically a “How To” review, it only seems logical that one follows the MANUFACTURERS directions to the “T”, simple enough. This video should be titled, “ How NOT to use” the Hornady Sonic-Cleaner. Ultimate FAIL.

[@series2087]

Read and understand all the instructions in the basic user manual before attempting to use a machine for the first time is a good idea.

[@angry_z_rider4275]

It's not very clear I have read mine which is more of a pamphlet. It really is not clear you obviously don't have one or have a model with a comprehensive manual.

[@bigal7561]

A lot of inconsistencies in the demo, including no change in the color of the water after cleaning. Parts look oddly the same after you removed them as when you put them in. Just saying

[@americansoldier7776]

Definitely try Purple Power Cleaner. I’ve heard from several people that is the magic potion to put in the ultrasonic cleaners!!

[@1madmax22]

I noticed it removed markings on your front sight. Have you got this figured out yet and has it worked really well? I'm searching for one now, and this is the 2nd video that I've watched. I don't have a clue what brand to even look at seriously, yet. Looks like Hornady and Lyman are on top, but don't know for sure yet.

[@janwilliams178]

How often had you cleaned your gun before you purchased the sonic cleaner? Looks like expensive gun parts, don't give up till you find the right cleaner.

[@Silverhaze78]

your supposed to degas before you put the parts in for like 10 minutes or until it gets nice and hot. then you drop your parts in and just clean on normal mode.

[@dustoff499]

Unrelated but, what’s up with those Pyrex Measuring Cups? I have yet found one that will pour its contents without spilling all over the place. I use a garden chemical measuring cup as they don’t spill everywhere.

[@jhollie8196]

What is best temp for cleaning guns? Thanks

[@Mark-pp2ty]

Just got one. I'll use today. Looks handy . I'll do mostly brass .Thank you for the video

[@texassportsman5880]

I have the same model ultrasonic cleaner and I can fit a completely disassembled XDs 9 into the basket. I wished I bought one with a larger tank so that I could get a stripped down 1911 into the cleaner without crowding the parts. I may buy a larger one. Anyway I always use the ultrasonic cleaner after a trip to the range. Always. The ultrasonic cleaner will NOT remove copper or lead fouling from a barrel. You'll have to use the right solvent to remove the fouling then put the parts into the ultrasonic cleaner.

[@americansoldier7776]

Joey, if you listen to me your ultrasonic cleaner will work amazing. Because I just bought one from Harbor freight. Put as hot tap water as you can inside of it. Go out and buy simple green cleaner the purple one that’s HD. Put it in your cleaner for about 10 minutes and it’ll come out squeaky clean guarantee it!!!

[@JS-qi1ou]

@Aaron Vangilder you most certainly need to dilute your solution, he says he uses hot tap water. If you just filled the entire tub with 100% cleaning solution you would almost certainly take the finish off of anything. I guess you could clean stainless steel parts like that but you definitely need to dilute it for anything you care about.

[@CrucesNomad1]

You got my respect for making a video and not trolling post and leaving rude comments.

[@danielselby8001]

i have one of these sonic cleaners and found it didnt work until i lifted the basket up ubout 3/8 inch then worked much better.

[@colvj2]

How did you lift it?

[@Daniel_Frisk]

Does it even "buzz"? (have you turned it on?)

[@hickabobcranefg]

Frustrating to watch

[@i556xx4]

So I guess this would not work to remove carbon out of primer pockets right?

[@joeditz48]

it does work extremely well. i wouldnt pay attention to this guys review

[@samruez5108]

Why didn't you heat up the distilled water before pouring it in? NO, not boiling. What do the specs say?

[@utookmynames]

Not sure what you did... but within the first 10!seconds that water should be a few shades darker with carbon/old oils it’s pulled off... I didn’t hear it actually run either...? So, maybe a follow up video lol

[@dreyburn67]

It removed the paint off of the front site post

[@wp4586]

Mine works like a champ .. especially on silencer parts, I think you didn’t use the de gas right and also looks like you hadn’t cleaned that barrel in a very long time, if you cleaned that barrel after every 500 rounds or so it would have been spotless after 2 minutes in the ultra sonic

[@kylefarrell1531]

something didn't work right i use the bigger one for cleaning guns at work all the time and it works amazingly

[@blackcloudr1130]

Simple green works a lot better then ultra sonic solutions I've used

[@BB-mo9sf]

*than*

[@Lonewolf6565]

Simple green is just a degreaser.

[@michaelweston6083]

The problem isn't the ultrasonic cleaner, its you.

[@501cruz]

It's not meant to clean guns that never are cleaned and have old caked on parts it needs to be right after shooting or within a couple of days.

[@beck4218]

The Harbor Freight el cheapo works like a mofo... add water and a few sprays of simple green... sh!t comes out spotless. Tank size is very important. The tank needs to be big enough, depending on how crowded, to allow the ultrasonic waves to propagate. The Harbor Freight is a 2.5L and works well.

[@Jose-fc5yd]

You did not do it right. My solution was murky and grey after 1 cycle.

[@thejarhead0313]

Lesson learned...clean your stiff regularly

[@briansouth9325]

You can use the cheapest baby shampoo and it'll work just the same

[@lorknozzel11]

i have to agree that i dont think he did this right, if he did used this machine at all. the water did not show any sign of being used, he never showed the unit in action, and he actually cut the shot when he said he was going to turn it on. its like he almost faked the whole thing. not aying he did, but i am having a hard time beleiving his results after seeing so many other videos. anyways, just my 2 cents, you guys can think what you like.

[@redlew012]

I think your cleaner is broken. I have the same one your Waters not even dirty. Your water should be black. Mine works great

[@Randy_84]

I'm 99% he didn't run it at all. I have this and you have to hit on/off for it to start. Especially with the de-gas. You'll hear it when it goes.

[@SOS89140]

Seriously?

[@bobfarley4102]

Pre heat your water.

[@TBNTX]

Just a thought here. You might want to try using the brass one-shot cleaner. The cleaner you used was for steel & plastic parts. The parts you are cleaning are brass, so perhaps using the one-shot cleaner for brass will yield better results.

[@ratherlucky4626]

LMAO those aren't brass parts!!! Brass solution is for cartridges. His barrel and compensator are STEEL 😂

[@killertruth186]

They do look like brass, but they're not.

[@angry_z_rider4275]

Guy your gun isn't that dirty lol. I don't clean my USPSA pistol till the 3000 round mark.

[@Random-rt5ec]

Excellent video. Makes me think twice about investing in an ultrasonic. I thought with ultrasonic cleaning parts would come out crystal clean but the reality is they do not.

[@Mrofficer2u]

Susan Vue this guy doesn't know how to use it lime he has. O idea what he is doing that's why it's not cleaning it when it's on you hear it buzzing

[@KinkySphincter]

They do just gotta learn to use them, get the harbor freight one first only 30 bucks, to learn to use don’t need an expensive one unless I have suppressed parts

[@davidscheurich9501]

wrong cleaner... wrong solution... it aint worth a fuck and expensive... simple green extreme and a 60 buck amazon 2.5l machine rocks...

[@bruinranger13]

Why are you even trying to clean those parts of the NOC? It doesnt need to be spotless, doesnt even need to be close. If you want a gun to stay shiny and clean buy another noc for looks. Theyre tools man.

[@JoeyBullseye]

Chris Farrar I agree. However, I was trying to demonstrate the effectiveness of the ultrasonic cleaner for the purpose of the review. That being said, any carbon buildup on your firearm which is not self limiting will get worse and worse over time. You should ALWAYS try to clean these areas as best as you can, especially if you are shooting as frequently as I am. (500-1,000 rounds per week)

[@nategaudette4228]

@@JoeyBullseye you should also try and read the directions that came with the ultrasonic, u de gassed it, u actually need to run it..?
