IMO, the point is not to have the gizmo completely clean your chain, but rather to poke all the gunk from between the plates of each link so you CAN get it with a rag afterwards.
Perhaps I should clarify: I'm disappointed with how much crud is still left
between the plates of each link after it's been through this gizmo a couple times. I don't need to run the chain through a scrubbing machine to clean the sides of the plates, I can do that by backpedaling through a rag soaked in Simple Green or OMS or ProLink. What I would love is if these machines actually cleaned the crud out that I
can't remove that way.
