Sure shot?

[OHMS LAW]

What are your opinions of the sure shot refillable brake cleaner spray can

 

[HotFry]

I like mine.
Fill it up 75 to 80% full, pressurize it and away I go. Get a lot more life than the airisol cans for sure.

I like mine too. I use lacquer thinner for quick clean up with minimal waste.

It's a very high quality piece of equipment. You won't be unhappy. I keep mine filled with the garage journal 50/50 acetone/ATF penetrating oil.

Edit: I don't like having brake cleaner in my shop. It is extremely dangerous stuff.

It's completely rebuildable aside from cracking the tank from a major fall. 5 gallon containers of brake clean may seem expensive at first but, they'll last much longer and generate less trash then the usual aerosol cans. i wouldn't want to be without one or two.

I want to get one but I may get it from Amazon since our snap on guy sells them for double what they go for on Amazon.

I wish I would've bought my sure shot earlier.

I have WD40 in it for cleaning up old stuff I bring in to restore.

I need to get a few more for Brakekleen, Triflow, and ATF/Acetone mix.

The stuff you have over there can be. Far as I recall though, European regs ban some of the ingredients from being used elsewhere, so brake cleaner is safe, though still quite flammable, stuff over here. This point crops up occasionally in regard to welding when brake cleaner has been used on something.

Makes Phosgene gas. Think WW1 and Trenches. Nasty stuff! And the damage it does is irreversible.

Before I knew that, I used it to clean a lot of stuff. Now, I rarely (if ever) use it - still have about 3 full cans of a case I bought a couple years ago. The Sureshot is a way better way to go - plus, you can fab up your own component mix.
