Re: a little Brake Cleaner price point comparison
We used to use the hot tank to degrease brake parts, especially relatively good brake shoes that had gear oil from a leaking rear wheel bearing seal. I'd think that Purple Power (which, I think, is lye-based) would also clean the parts. I only ever used brake fluid to clean the insides of wheel cylinders while reaming during a rebuild. I guess times change.

Re: a little Brake Cleaner price point comparison
Never seen a 1lb4oz can of brake cleaner before. But man, they must be banking on people not working out the price since it costs more per unit than the smaller can.

Re: a little Brake Cleaner price point comparison
great point reminds me of Marketing class where we learned about studies done on the buy one balloon for $1.50 or three for $5.00 bucks type of thing and how people kept buying them in batches of three, it's a psychology thing I think or something like that

^ The word you're looking for is innumerate- a lack of number sense. All one has to be is "po" (so poor one can't afford the other two letters) to work at figuring out which option is cheaper.

Re: a little Brake Cleaner price point comparison
I went to Walmart yesterday. The Super Tech brake cleaner was the same price as the CRC. For the same money, I'll buy CRC.

Re: a little Brake Cleaner price point comparison
FWIW- I throw a few cans in my order whenever I order oil since I'm already getting an order shipped to me but AMSOIL Brake Cleaner is $6.99 per 19oz. can ($5.19 if you have your Preferred Customer subscription) or $6.81 per can ($4.88 as a PC) if you buy a 12-can case of it.
https://www.amsoil.com/p/brake-and-parts-cleaner-bpcsc/ But not available in Canada, California or New Jersey

Re: a little Brake Cleaner price point comparison
the only reason I am including AMAZON is because it seems to be the only way for us Californians to still get the forbidden $4.47 red can
I have seen in the past where Amazon will let you place the order, pay for it, then they will send you a nice little message, hey we've cancelled your order and you got a refund cause we can't ship to California, so I tested that with this order and they actually delivered it |

Re: a little Brake Cleaner price point comparison
I was just at O'Reilly's. They said the case price is for commercial accounts only.

Re: a little Brake Cleaner price point comparison
I have no commercial account..so I dont know..
My hotrod buddy doesnt either and he gets it by the case now, instead of a few cans at a time, after I told him
