The NEW Harbor Freight 20 gallon parts washer

Once in a while I go to Harbor Freight and this is one of those moments. Was in need for a parts washer for a while now so pulled the trigger and picked one up. Harbor Freight 20 gallon parts washer with high flow pump SKU # 58679
This parts washer still needs to have a permeant spot in the shop but I'm going to have to move so stuff around first

If it does what you need it to do then it's a win. 👍👍

[@CountryMileGarage]

100% Biggie Fitz can't complain for what it is and the cost of it ... thank you for watching

[@anthonygm85]

It works for what it is, If you get more then a year outta it then it over paid for itself Love those Kimble stack organizers boxes ya have. I need to talk to our Kimble rep for some home organizers

[@CountryMileGarage]

Very true Anthony. I absolutely LOVE the Kimball Midwest organizers and not bad priced for what you get. Get them on special tho and save some money. Thank you for watching

[@OneLegged-honda-mechanic]

I wish I had room in my shop for that. Sure would be better than my 2x4 across top of my trash can method of scrubbing parts 😂

[@CountryMileGarage]

I feel the pain that's how I use to do it lol ... Thank you for watching

[@patcb829]

Theo just from a fire fighting perspective, that lid is designed like that with that special strut to close automatically in the event of a fire. You know if you were to maybe put something flammable in it as a cleaner.

[@CountryMileGarage]

Pat I did not know that ... learn something new everyday, Thank you and thank you for watching

[@6atlantis]

I wanted to use this for cleaning up all tools with stuff like evapo rust/wd40 etc.. and. be able to clean my oil based paint brushes with paint thinner etc.. Does that mean I can’t use this machine cause most of the stuff at work with is flammable?

[@philliphall5198]

HF decreased is really good stuff and works great in ultra sonic cleaner to

[@CountryMileGarage]

I haven't tried any other degreaser but so far I like it ... thank you for watching

[@gilmansgarage6341]

I have a snap on tank , thankfully I bought it years ago when we used them a lot more..only occasional use these days couldn't justify the cost anymore..I use mineral spirits they work Great but expensive..back when it was cheap..never got to excited about washer solvents , but curious about the one you used water based ..nice moves on assembly 😉 my body won't go like that anymore..Thanks for showing Theo 👍

[@CountryMileGarage]

Fast forward does miracles 🤣🤣🤣. The Snap-on washer you have is it the same style ? Does the mineral spirits evaporated much over time ? Thank you for watching Howard

[@gilmansgarage6341]

@@CountryMileGarage My parts washer has a barrel for all the fluid 16 gallon model ..the lid is open pretty much I haven't noticed to much evaporation ..hasn't been a issue..

[@CountryMileGarage]

@@gilmansgarage6341 I'll have to look into the mineral spirits I think 10 gallon would be enough. It gets the grease, oil and dirt right off ? This stuff takes a little scrubbing to get it all clean

[@gilmansgarage6341]

@@CountryMileGarage I set mine on an old steel rim with a plate on it for lift kit ..I am 6 "1 tall so it's still not to much but better on my back..

[@gilmansgarage6341]

@@CountryMileGarage I think it works the best I have seen ..just like the companies use (Safety Clean) is one that used to come around monthly & service them for shops..house paint thinner it is 99 % mineral spirits but it's like 10- 15 $ a gallon used to be like 2$ back when..

[@richardallen1816]

Can you fit a piece of tubing over the drain plug to guide the cleaner into a separate bucket, when it has used up its life? Can you put a circle magnet around the drain cock to prevent grit and such from entering it when your changing the cleaning fluid? It doesn't look like it allows for the addition of feet to the legs, without a bit of fabrication...For a home owner/shade tree mechanic, it might work well. I wonder if a lid for a tote might not fit the top...doubt it would snap on though.

[@CountryMileGarage]

I'm going to set it close to a wall so the lid will stay up. For making it taller some 6x6 lumber ? But this is most defiantly NOT a pro setup lol ... first change I get to buy a real parts washer I'm going to but this beats working over a trash can. Thank you for watching

i noticed on Ebay Parts Washer a kit is available to upgrade this unit with the Filtration and some other items everyone does on their units it looks like you can save a few bucks if you purchase the parts on your own reveiws on the HF Cleaning solution are pretty high online

[@CountryMileGarage]

So far this unit is still all original and no problems yet, my biggest complaint is the drain location tho ... thank you for watching

[@chefshadetree3972]

I don't like these kinds of parts washers, they all too low for me lol. I'd have to have it set up on a bench or extend the legs on one. Long long time ago in a galaxy far far away my dad cut the bottom out of and old 5 gallon metal Marvel Mystery oil container and made a parts cleaner out of. Been using that thing for all my life.

[@CountryMileGarage]

It's not very tall that's for sure but it beats working above a trash can lol ... thank you for watching

[@williamlennox9115]

This thing is bad ass! I'd also like to know how long this thing lasts

[@CountryMileGarage]

Still holding up fine as of today. Not that I use it everyday but often enough imo ... thank you for watching

[@philliphall5198]

I like the old ones better than the new ones, the metal is twice as thick

[@CountryMileGarage]

Makes sense everything needs to be build cheaper these days lol ... thank you for watching

[@jeffnations6649]

Gas works great!

[@CountryMileGarage]

Especially while smoking a cigarette LOL ... thank you for watching

[@Shmack_]

Does it have a tank for water or connection for water hose or does it recycle the water and keep using it?

[@CountryMileGarage]

It recycles the same water that's in the bottom. So after a while you have to drain it and put new in ... thank you for watching

[@CowboyNiceguy]

The drain plug on it is wack, had to cut a bucket in half to drain the fluid the first time. I Plumbed a 1/4 ball valve and a hose to it. Much easier to drain now.

[@CountryMileGarage]

It is, I been wanting to do the same thing just haven't done it yet ... thank you for watching

[@jasongloria9394]

How do you drain it? Or do you just leave the cleaner in it and reuse it?

[@CountryMileGarage]

Leave the cleaner and re-use it and over time change it out ... thank you for watching

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Looks like a handy dandy parts washing station, especially for the price! Even if the pump goes it can be replaced separately I bet?

[@CountryMileGarage]

100% Jimmy for what it is it isn't bad ... thank you for watching

[@philliphall5198]

Buy a pump rated for flammable liquids if you replace pump

[@V8SKULLS]

I've been using diesel fuel in mine for over 10+ yrs. And with the Org pump The only thing I like better, is the new colors Black & Grey, I have the old blue & red. Oh well
