I use their products all the time and have had no problems, just remember if you use the Action Blaster you need to use something to protect the metal afterwards because it does a great job of stripping the oil and gunk off metal parts.

I have been pretty happy with the Tetra products that i have used. I was going to purchase a can of the Action Blaster but it was out of stock so i got another product "Gunk Out" which is supposed to be the same thing. It works great but....
The active ingredient is tetrachloroethane a known carcinogen. I found this out after i had already come into direct skin contact with it.
I still use it (sparingly) as it is awesome fore cleaning out fouling in barrels but i wear gloves, use it outside and i dont let my kids near it.
I dont know if Action Blaster uses the same active ingredient but it pays to check any solvent before you use it because most of them are pretty nasty

Good point, I think all the cleaners I have are listed as carcinogens, you should always be careful.
