Rock tumbler to clean bolts


I use a wire wheel to clean up bolts, then give them a light coat of grease.

 I used to but it's a lot more work than this and the tumbler really makes them look "natural" again. I'm sold!

 Actually I have 3 of them but I'd cleaned 2 of them when I thought I should illustrate the difference. 

You never disappoint with your wit Jim!

Just an update, I'm still loving this unit!

I did some drum brake/steering stuff today. Wow the pieces come out nice. I'm going to be redoing a Beaumont front drum brake setup and want the stuff to look nice.
