What capacity ultrasonic cleaner?

I'm in no way at all jealous that yours is bigger than mine and your tools are nicer and more neatly arranged! 😜

Thank you, although it's not all about size apparently(!), the extra width means I can fit the MTB cassette in. Also I was expecting some stick about the "easy" gears and looking back at the photo, I forgot to hide the disc brake cleaner. Joking aside, the fact that in 2020 I got permanently based at home for work instead of an hour each way daily commute in my van meant I had the time to refurb my garage. 

So once you make the switch to hot waxing your chain, what use for all the degreaser and ultrasonic bath? Prepping a new chain once in a while?

Don't know really, as I say, just looking at wax pros & cons at the moment, and trying to liberate the slow cooker. I probably won't wax all chains on all bikes, plus the ultrasonic is handy for cleaning other stuff too. 

I also have serious toolboard envy.

Need to get that holder for the spray cans.

Could try the freezer bag trick to reduce amount of degreaser you use?

I'm hoping to pick up an ultrasonic cleaner on Black Friday. May well go 10 litres as I have a disgustingly large cassette on my winter bike.

Thanks - board & accessories are all Bott Workplace Perfolock, so everything clicks in on a standard hole pitch. It becomes a slippery slope once you step into the Perfo catalogue, I found this out when my wife opened the garage door and wanted to know why I'd turned it into a bike shop. 

Ref the cleaner size, they don't seem to get that much more expensive in proportion to size, so probably best to go as large as you potentially need, you're not saving that much by going smaller. 

That perfolock catalogue is amazing. I've run out of space on my peg board so can feel an upgrade coming on!

Think I'll definitely go for the 10 litre version then. Thanks.

Are you not tempted to silhouette the tools on the peg board?

I was at first as it happened, I remember as a kid visiting RNAS Portland/HMS Osprey back in the 80s when my dad was in the RN and all of the workshops had this, presumably to avoid leaving tools inside parts of aircraft where there shouldn't be. However I then went on a Cytech home mechanic course and all of the workbays had this Perfolock system and I decided that was the way to go.

My reason not to silhouette these is that the hangers & clips are very easy to move around as I decide, for example on the RH side, are the most commonly used tools, batteries, lubes, etc, and on the LH side, the less frequently used stuff. 

Sorry to hijack the ultrasonic cleaner thread, but here's the rest of it.

Freezer bag tip ?
