Berryman 0996-ARM B-9 Chem Dip Parts Cleaner with Basket and Armlock, 3/4-Gallon Pail

stuff works like a charm and comes with a basket

I bought the Berryman Chem Dip Parts Cleaner after years of fighting baked-on grease with sprays, brushes, and pure frustration—and I honestly wish I’d found it sooner. From the first use, it was clear this stuff means business. I dropped in a batch of carburetor parts that were coated in decades of varnish and sludge, and after soaking them in the basket, they came out looking shockingly clean. The built-in basket is a small detail that makes a huge difference, keeping parts organized and easy to lift without fishing around in harsh chemicals. What really sold me is the Armlock pail design. The lid seals tightly, so I don’t have to worry about fumes escaping or the cleaner evaporating between uses. For a 3/4-gallon pail, it lasts longer than I expected since it’s reusable, and a little patience goes a long way. This isn’t a gentle cleaner—it’s a serious, professional-grade solution for anyone who works on engines, tools, or mechanical parts and wants results without endless scrubbing. If you’re tired of “almost clean,” the Berryman Chem Dip delivers the real deal!

I used this with a heated sonic cleaner, and it worked great! This will be my go to for all of my carburetor rebuilds

Can was dented, with the handle bent off, and smashed another unrelated item in the same box. Fortunately didn't leak and probably will still do the job.

Had a new engine burning oil with all kinds of nastyness on the Pistons and in chamber. Soaked the Pistons on this stuff to soften up the carbon build up and scrub with non scratch scotch bright. Had to do it a few times on each one but the look like new again. Good stuff

wow this stuff works

I bought this to use for cleaning 2.5 year old carbs that were sitting with ethanol gas in them. I also bought a gallon of Gunk Parts cleaner to do a comparison with. I was cleaning 4 carbs from a boat engine so was able to compare evenly the two cleaners. First both cleaners extremely smell and will scent your hands if you don't wear gloves. The first test I did was to place the completely disassembled carbs in over night. Both cleaners did a great job cleaning the carbs. My next test on the 2 carbs I had left were to see how well the cleaners did in a shorter period of time. I soaked both disassembled carbs for one hour. In this test I found that the Berryman cleaner did a better job. The Gunk cleaner still cleaned very well but I found that I had to scrape a bit more residue out of the bottom of the bowl. What I found the most pleasing of these two cleaners and what has made my decision to only go with Berryman is the clean up. Using only dish soap and a bucket of water, the Berryman cleaner washed off the parts very well and left no cleaner residue.

Can delivered with multiple large dents but useable.

Great product works really well

Perfect as described. I used it for Audi 2.0 oil consumption and for cleaning carbon. Cleaned part of the carbon.

This product is used for dissolving gunk on carburetor parts. The basket ensures no parts are misplaced. The product is specifically for carburetor cleaning and works well.

perfect bucket to have around and use of carb cleaning, parts cleaning in your shop. Handier than sprays since you can dunk your parts and leave them in there for a couple hours.

As other buyers report, the tin has already been smashed around- the outer box was perfect, loads of bubble wrap - I’m sure this can was like this before it left the manufacturer - hopefully the basket inside is intact. Can’t report yet on how well it cleans.
