1. Drill, variable speed
2. Green pad
3. Electrical tape
4. Shop vac.

Guy on YT already shows how to make this pad based socket cleaning tool,
just adding to it the notion of using a cordless drill variable speed,
insert tool into my friends Chuck and apply as needed to the sockets.

Timed, as the joke goes, two minutes to get the kind of satisfaction and
results with super clean sockets in a head done lickety split like.

I use a dremmel with a bullet shaped tip that works great. cleans the
sides & base in 2 seconds.

Yep, sounds like the same approach, and 2 mins was the entire 40+
sockets in a head :)

Until it spits a wire shorting the string out and you spend an hour or
so looking for it.

Which begs the question, why haven't we seen much of late reference to
NEVER use conductive materials when maintaining electrical devices (if
folks forget, and I believe they do by the numbers of people using metal
tools while a pinball is plugged in, and often even turned on)...

NOOBS, and olds, get out of the bad, very bad habit of thinking
electricity doesn't apply to you and your heart.

Bildo, big or small, I have a practice that guarentees one does not get
friend. Physically unplug the game and there is a 99.9999999999999%
chance on an EM that one won't get 'fried' as you hope.

Its a sad day that one hopes another gets fried, true to your world of
words showing your colors guise as good nature.
