Using the muriatic acid was a big mistake at my shop. On two occassions an errant breeze made me inhale that stuff and I suffered for some time. Additionnaly, the corrosive residue began rapidly rusting nearby items that I did not want rust to be on.
I eventually went to a vibratory tumbler. I dump my parts in it and let it run for 2-3 hours and my parts are very nice and clean. Then I rinse and apply WD40 until I am ready to work with them at a later date.

Hey Rockhillwill,
What type of media do you put in the tumbler?
Keep V-8ing and 4-banging!
