Thumbs up Who would be interested in a spark plug cleaner?

This thing is great--I've extended the life of my race plugs tenfold by using it. Tentative cost will be determined based on interest. When you consider that one race plug or a full set of 9's costs more than that, I think you can see how every FD owner can benefit from one of these. The only catch is that you need access to an air compressor .

Here are the details:

This cleaner does abrasive cleaning or air cleaning with just the turn of a switch. Abrasive blasting removes carbon build-up on spark plugs, and the abrasive material is supplied. Simply hook your compressor hose to the cleaner, insert the plug in the opposite end, set the switch for abrasive or air cleaning, push the start button, and get ready to return plugs to a like-new condition. A flange on each side lets you fasten the cleaner to your workbench.
Air consumption: 7.7 CFM
Air inlet: 1/4'' NPT
Pressure rating: 90 PSI

Any comments or suggestions are appreciated, guys.

I might be interested... how much is it (ballpark)?

About 8 years ago my step dad bought a spark plug cleaner from JC Whitney, or someplace like that. It's this little black handheld box that had an electric motor and abrasive material inside. We used it all the time to clean up our snowmobile sparkplugs. It worked great, and I think costed $20. It didn't need an air compressor either.

Yeah I have seen the spark plug cleaners before but I have never used one if any one can comment.

I found one place that sells them for $29.99 and extra abrasive is $4.99/ 3 lbs.
