    Hi All, I've never used an ultrasonic; just saw a sweet price for a
    small one at Harbor Freight. 

    What makes an ultrasonic worth getting? 

    I am mainly a hobbyist, but do do some selling out of my studio.  I
    work mainly in silver, copper and brass;  and many of my pieces
    incorporate gemstones and various found objects. 

    What can the ultrasonic do? 
    What can it not do? 
    Is a small one usable?  Or not worth the trouble? 

Thanks for any input.
