A simple funnel with mesh bottom for sifting small parts. Size of funnel is well suited for medium and large Mason jar equivalent containers.
I have an ultrasonic cleaner with distilled water in the main tub and several glass jars with different cleaning solutions. I put the parts to be cleaned in the jar with suitable cleaning solution and drop the jar into the ultrasonic cleaner. Once everything is clean, I sift the parts out using this funnel and the cleaning solution goes into another jar for future use or disposal.
