A durable and classic workshop essential, this is a Chicago Electric Power Tools 20‑gallon parts washer, model 1121, manufactured in 1988. Built from heavy-duty formed steel and finished in red and blue enamel, this unit features a flip-top safety lid with internal labeling, flexible gooseneck spout, and lower shelf for added utility. Designed for moderate-duty use, it operates on 115V AC, with a built-in recirculating pump rated at 50 gallons per hour.

This model includes a deep tank with removable parts basket and integrated drain system, making it ideal for degreasing and cleaning automotive or mechanical components.
