Jim, thank you so much for remembering!

Glad to help Andrew. It looks very similar to mine which works well. It is at least 30% less than the cheapest on eBay. If you do buy one just check that it is long enough to get the largest part of your airbrush in.

I have used one for years, I think it was Dave (gern) had the same one...could be wrong.

Works okay, cleans my airbrushes and other bits. Just add a small drop of washing up liquid and do a few cycles to get the water warm, works better.

The only down side of this is the make, I've never known a tool from Lidi to survive switch wise.

This is mine, had it over 4 years, no issues at all.

'fraid not Si. I did have a cheapo cleaner, but the switch broke after a couple of months so I had to use the switch at the main plug socket - until the entire switchgear fell off when I was trying to remove the lid.

Knew I would get it wrong...at least...I actually remembered that you had one Dave...good going for me.

I know that feeling well Si! I used to have a pretty good memory - now my head is full of tiny little odds and ends of stuff with none of the important bits left!

Good point, I measured my AB against a pen I'll take with me.

ATB.

Been using one for several years for my airbrush parts - but, if you wear glasses, lukewarm water and a squirt of washing up liquid works wonders. I've also cleaned metal wristwatch bands as well. Some of the short run models I make have release agent residue & a short blitz in the bath cleans them up..............

I’m starting to think one of these might be useful for cleaning my small figures prior to painting. Scrubbing them in the sink is a bit of a chore….and this tool would eliminate the problem…..now thinking hard…..

Get down their quick. There were only to three left after i picked mine up, so they seemed popular.
