Those chain-cleaning gizmos agitate the solvent. It does make sense that you should agitate the
solvent to get the grit out from inside the links, soaking alone won't do much.
I've used those devices for decades, and while they can be messy, they do clean the chain better
than soaking, and it's a lot faster than removing it from the bike.
Before I started using motorcycle chain lube, I would fill the chain cleaning tool with oil after I
cleaned the chain, so I could oil it without removing it.
It's interesting that some people believe that going through the trouble of removing their chain,
soaking it in solvent, then soaking it in some sort of lubricant, results in a cleaner, better
lubricated chain, than following a simpler procedure.
