    Anybody ever tried one of these?

    Looks quite weird but possibly quite good?

    No, I have used a Kettenmax cleaner, which worked well, albeit very messy.

    What does everyone else do ?

    When it's your time to go it's your time, so don't let it catch you.

    Sabesto chain cleaning spray & an old towel.
    (I do it the dangerous way and my chain is cleaned weekly!)
    It's worth it because it doesn't wear or stretch.
    DID chain - top notch!!!

    Yes that's what I do old rag and chain cleaner (I use Wurth brake and chain cleaner) not the dangerous way though
    Too chicken! Does get a bit messy though and just wondering if that weird little device on Ebay would get into a few more nooks and crannies??

    Paraffin and a rag, work a treat and keep your chain happy, or sometime Wurth CHain and Brake cleaner!

    Don't forget the latex gloves and a mask as you don't want it touching your skin or be inhaling it!

    Do it in a well ventilated area!

    WD or something similar is a very good degreaser, kitchen towel or an old rag to clean it off, like Rabb says, D.I.D chains are the biz 8-)

    Used one of these for the past 6 months (not sure if it's a Tirox, but looks identical) - very well made. Use with parafin and a lot of newspaper to catch drips/spray and it cleans the chain beautifully. Run the chain through it a few times and it is spotless. Not a lot of mess if you prep well. Thoroughly recommend.
