There ain't a damn thing wrong with you.  I've been wanting one for
years and here is the bottom line question.  What is the most dirtiest,
smelliest, grossest, worst for your health,  job you can think of when
it comes to working on cars.

Washing Parts.

Lets face it, SUCKS!!!

A parts washer, with a pump and brush and solvent all ready to go at the
flip of the cover, and a switch; is the perfect solution.

It's one of those tools that you have to have.  Like a floor jack,
ramps, a vise, drill motor, shop light, you gotta have one.  Imagine
using the dealer supplied Jack every time you wanted to lift your
vehicle.

These jobs that really suck can be made to be much more bearable.  Go
ahead and buy it.  It'll last a lifetime...YOU deserve it.  You need it.
It wants you to buy it.  It's got your name all over it.  Your wife even
wants you to have it.  Go ahead.  Make your day. Get one....:)

And then I'll envy you too along with all the rest of your buddies.
Because I want one too.
