This is a really good product. Plastic is more durable that many other units I have tried. Getting your chain this clean by any other means would include much more time and mess. Makes a messy and tedious job, quick and easy. Love mine!

This unit worked really well, it does not take much effort to work the chain through. I liked this unit alot but the handle broke off after cleaning a dozen or so chains. Then I dropped it onto a concrete floor from about 2-3 feet and that finished it off.

It might have been a fluke, but the plastic is very fragile.

Disregard any negative reviews on this becaue they are many years old and I'm sure this has been redesigned. I'll be the first one to critisize something of it deserves it, but this thing is amazing. One thing that I noticed right off the bat is the plastic is very strong and has a different feel than any other plastic I've touched. Even if it broke, Park is a reputabe company and I'm sure they would make good on it. I used the recommended park solvent and the whole system worked amazingly. I normally take off my chain anyway when I am doing a full cleaning, but having the chain on while using this product made the process extremely easy. Yes, there can be some spilling if you do not hold the device strait, but I do not know what to say to someone who can not pick up on that.

I wouldn't get one again. While it is nifty, I don't think that it's worth the cost. Perhaps if it didn't break, but mine did. I think that you can clean a chain just as well with a sponge and some cleaning fluid.

I've tried several brands and models of chain cleaners.I can't stress this enough: This is the only one that works despite its numerous flaws: It does something the others fail to do properly: It cleans your chain without snagging/jamming the chain.I recommend the eco-friendly green degreaser from MEC in Canada.Make sure you rinse your chain with water after cleaning and then dry it with a towel or the new coat of chain lube will not work! And rinse your cm5 too!

It cleans chains good but it is very messy, well made but the top can be installed the wrong way

I followed the instructions and it did indeed clean the chain very well. however, i did experience alot of spilling, and it was quite a mess. It also broke after the first use. The area where metal clips lock in, just snapped rightoff. that part if way too flimsy. i can still use it but it doesnt lock the way its supposed to. so even tho it cleaned the chain good, it spills a lot and product durability is questionable

This was used with the park solvent sold separately but they say you can use dish soap. It is very easy to use and hardly has any spill on the floor, what I had was from leaky bottle cap. It cleaned a chain that had some kind of teflon lube on it and maybe stock new chain grease. After round two I wiped the chain and the rag was still very dark. Clean up is another matter, it is a total mess in the sink and the inside areas of the chain cleaner is very greasy the solvent does not dump out and leave it clean. The brushes are very stiff and many of them all over. The wick works great at exit part of chain to eliminate dripping. After it is assembled there is a two hole resevoir at the top to fill it up with solvent. They say it is not to be used with gasoline etc.
