Thought it's worth a punt at £4 if the chain needs a quick clean.

Will try it out tomorrow, do they do a good enough job?

Well I hope you get more use from it than I get from my Park £30 jobbie, It works well but I can never be bothered to use it much ( it does work well when I can be bothered) top tip I found Coke is an excellent degreaser to use in it.

I found cleaning the chain cleaner to be a more arduous task than just cleaning the chain.

Swap the cleaning fluid that it comes with and its half decent for under £5. Used one for over a year now and it does the job with decent cleaner in it.

I use a big bottle of neat degreaser in a wide necked plastic bottle, release quick link drop chain in bottle agitate leave for half hour agitate some more, remove wash in plain water dry thoroughly and immediately re lube. no scrubbing necessary.

Yeah I normally do the milk carton/degreaser shake down method, but it takes a little while so will try this for a quick scrub up!
