@tcon...

I haven't used brake cleaner (yet) but I do use the same MTM Portable Rifle/Shotgun Maintenance Center. Well worth the $29 I paid on amazon to have both the cleaning cradle and additional storage.

I set it up on my old Black & Decker Workmate the top of which is covered with cardboard saved from cut up shipping cartons to keep it clean.

I'm with you...I'd rather work smart than hard (and for longer than necessary).

@COSteve...

Nice setup you have there. I never thought of using my compressor and probably won't though I have read of folks using them. I hate turning the darn thing on except to keep my 4Runner's tires topped off as necessary.
