Hornady Lock-N-Load Hot Tub Sonic Cleaner, Item 043310

I just received and used this yesterday and it worked wonderfully ! I was surprised at how low the noise level is ! This is typical of Hornady products ! This replaced a similar product that lasted 20 years ! This product works with both dry or wet media !

This really does an amazing job on the brass! Using the Hornady media and polish treatment very clean it if the shifter. Properly loaded it's reasonably quiet to boot.

I like this very much for cleaning primer pockets, though I will concede that sometimes there’s a small speck left behind. Its not a deal breaker by any means. Clean pockets means it’s easier to put in a new primer. Exteriors come out extremely well, not quite factory shine. If you want a sparkly factory polished case, then sonic clean them, re-prime, then toss em in the tumbler media for 30 minutes. There’s no reason to get super critical over slightly less than factory shine, this isn’t a fashion show. Lets move on to some high praise. Molly’s Place ……..This is actually my 2nd unit. The 1st one showed up, nonfunctional. Meaning the sonic transducer was defunct! Disappointing, yes. That very day (evening) I requested an exchange here on Amazon. The vendor, Mollys Place had a new one on the way the next morning (FedEx). The new unit functioned perfectly! I can’t sing enough thanks about the seamless and painless effort from Molly’s Place. They treated me so very well. Thank you once again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Mollys Place

This thing dose a great job cleaning gun parts the only problem I have with it is it takes about 20 minutes to get the temperature to 122 degrees which is where I like to to run the tube at. You have plenty of room for multiple hand guns.Even with the tube empty the device is still heavy I haven’t used it to clean any ar parts yet I have cleaned a 9mm carbine and had plenty of room in the tube it did a great job I love it so far

I really like this Sonic Clearner. Much more than I originally thought I would. I bought it for reloading brass cases. I already have a wet tumbler and a dry media tumbler, both of which I use outside because they are on the noisy side. I bought the Hornady to clean inside the house on those super hot, or cold, days. And it's been great for those occasions. It's pretty quiet and so it's no problem to use in the house. The other thing about sonic cleaning is that the contaminants stay in the water, so it's it is a benign way of cleaning as well. Also, it's a very 'civilized', or tidy, way to clean brass. No dust or water all over the place. Lol, it's almost like being a 'gentleman' hobbyist. Sonic cleaning, in this cleaner, is excellent for cleaning smaller batches, say, seventy five 5.56 cases. You pick the amount of time, five minutes for a light clean, and twenty for for a bit more. The cleaner will take all the carbon off, for sure, with the exception of the stuff in the primer pocket, where it will leave the majority in place. But you get clean brass to handle, say for decapping, or to lube and size, anneal, or trim. That's very nice, because it is more involved getting out the other tumblers. You do have to let the brass dry, but after rinsing, you can put it in a cut-off-pant-leg, mangle it around a little, and get most all of the wet off of the brass which cuts drying time considerably. Anyway, you might consider buying this cleaner, because as I said, I like mine a lot more than I thought I would, and I use it more than I thought I would as well.

Works great. Just what I wanted

Purchased it as a Christmas present to myself. Have cleaned 6 handguns (autos) and 1 AR. I was able to clean the handguns in one day. Works as advertised. I have no complaints with the Hot Tub itself. Three items which do not effect the use. (1) They don't tell you, but no cleaning fluid come with the unit. (2) The instruction manual is minimal. I was frustrated when I got it as I thought it was broken. Wrong. What the instructions don't tell you is there is an off/on switch next to where the power cord plugs into the unit - DUH. The manual also talks about using various temperatures and length of time for cleaning. However, it does not have a recommended chart or give you any examples. (3) There is no talk of using a ultrasonic lubricant. Horady apparently does not make one, but there are several manufactures who make lubricants for use in a sonic cleaner. Sure makes it easy to apply it to the entire weapon. Back to cleaning, the unit appears to clean the weapons well. There is little/no carbon or residue left on the weapon. I am extremely happy with the unit. There is some discussion regarding the unit heating in some of the reviews I have read. I have only used the lowest temperature (104) and the unit has come to temperature within the shortest timing period (5 minutes). Also be sure to have an air compressor so you can dry the weapon faster and ensure the moisture is removed from the internal components of of the weapon (using sonic lubricant also does this). I recommend you purchase the cleaner and lubricant or you won't be able to do anything. I have also found a plastic food saver container which about the same size a the large basket which comes with the unit. I have used it to keep the cleaning solution in the sonic unit and to place my handgun parts in it and to lubricate the handgun parts.

Awesome product and price. Works fantastic with bolt carriers using the hornady cleaning solution. Purchased the case cleaner also but haven’t tried it yet. Highly recommend.
