If you've ever stood over a vibratory tumbler wishing there was a cleaner, quieter way to get your brass ready, the RCBS Ultrasonic Case Cleaner 2 is worth a serious look. This is the upgraded version of RCBS's original ultrasonic unit, and the headline change is size. The 6.3 quart stainless steel tank is nearly twice as large as the one it replaced, so high volume reloaders can run bigger batches and spend less time waiting around. Drop your empty brass in, add water and your cleaning solution of choice, set the timer, and let the ultrasonic waves do the work of pulling tarnish, carbon buildup, and metal oxides off both the inside and outside of your cases.
The big performance story here is the dual setup. RCBS packed in two ceramic heaters and two transducers, which spread cleaning energy more evenly across that larger tank and heat the solution for better results. The 35kHz ultrasonic action reaches down into case interiors and primer pockets in a way that dry media simply can't, loosening fouling that would otherwise need a brush. You run it off standard 120VAC household power, so there's no special wiring to worry about.
The programmable LCD and keypad let you set a timer for up to 30 minutes of continuous cleaning. Many reloaders get the best results starting with warm water and a cap of RCBS Ultrasonic Case Cleaning Solution, sold separately, mixed at roughly a 30 to 1 ratio. Running a short degas cycle before you add brass helps the unit work at full strength. A built in drain hose makes emptying dirty solution painless, and the included stainless steel parts basket keeps your cases contained.
Worth knowing up front: this is a cleaner, not a polisher. It gets brass genuinely clean and ready to load, but if you're after a mirror shine you'll want to follow up in a tumbler. It also does fantastic double duty on gun parts like slides, bolts, and small components. Just dry your brass thoroughly before heading to the press.
No, this is a cleaner rather than a polisher. It does an excellent job removing carbon, tarnish, and fouling from inside and outside your cases, but it won't leave a mirror shine. If you want that polished look, run your cases through a vibratory or rotary tumbler after cleaning.
RCBS recommends its own Ultrasonic Case Cleaning Solution, sold separately, mixed with water at around a 30 to 1 ratio. Warm water helps the solution work faster and more thoroughly. Many reloaders also run a quick degas cycle before adding brass to get the most out of each batch.
Yes, and it's one of the unit's strong points. The ultrasonic action works great on slides, bolts, and small firearm components. Just use the correct solution for parts, since case cleaning solution can affect certain finishes like bluing, and always clean gun parts separately from brass.
The biggest upgrade is capacity. The 6.3 quart tank is nearly twice as large as the original, letting you clean more brass in a single cycle. RCBS also added a second ceramic heater and a second transducer for more even, effective cleaning across the larger tank.
