The Hornady Lock-N-Load® Magnum Sonic Cleaner TM removes carbon residue from the inside and outside of cartridge cases with high frequency ultrasonic energy and a specialized cleaning solution. Unlike case tumblers, the Lock-N-Load® Magnum Sonic Cleaner TM effectively cleans the inner surfaces of cartridge cases as well as the primer pockets. The Lock-N-Load® Magnum Sonic Cleaner TM features a 3 liter stainless steel tank, removable basket, digital minute timer, and adjustable heater. The Lock-N-Load® Magnum Sonic Cleaner TM may also be used to clean other small parts.

The primary function of the Lock-N-Load® Magnum Sonic Cleaner TM is to chemically and mechanically clean a variety of items. It may or may not produce “shiny” brass. To create bright and polished brass we recommend using the Hornady Case Tumbler. Not all carbon buildup and tarnish may be removed from cases due to the corrosive nature of some primer residue and/or deep corrosion.
