Pretty much sums it up. Even most blasting cabinets will allow small hardware like those very stovebolts that hold on side covers & the the like to drop through the grate. Nevermind being able to hold on the them and blast effectively in or out of a cabinet.
Aside from the fact that it's not labor intensive at all (drop the parts in, turn it on, come back in a couple hours) an additional plus is you if you use a tumbler/vibe you can use different media to remove the rust and polish them up. Can be used for getting small parts ready for plating too.

I dig all cars, old and new, whether they were hammered out of American iron, German steel, or Japanese tin cans. Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P
