    John, not sure ? I suspect a sonic would be able to get rid of more "baked on" stuff, and move tinier particles ? In the wet tumbler the other cases kinda act as vibratory media.

    johnd Unfortunately I don't think it is available in NZ. I have a good supply as I used to add several Krazy Kloths into any Brownells order. The closest I can see is BRT in Oz. Again I would add it...
