I think they're worthwhile... These days, they're not very expensive...
I don't own one myself... but I've used them often... and my older
brother (a corvette/FORD Mustang fanatic) has one...
Besides keeping things relatively clean... (as you do all your cleaning
in one place, etc.) you can put a constant stream of solution flowing
on a part... or into a smaller, over-flowing can... (with small parts in
it)... etc... this works real well... and you really maximize the use of
your cleaner...
I think you tend to keep the stuff off your hands more, when you're
using one of those... which is also a health concern/improvement....
On a side note: My brother's little part's washer clearly said not to
use water... (i.e. not water-based cleaners)... but with new twins and a
the wife complaining... he put a water-based, "nature-friendly" cleaner
in... and... of course... the pump died immediately...
hmmm... wonder if that warning about water-based cleaners was for a
reason?
