SWAB-ITS 20 Gauge Gun Cleaning Bore-Tips Barrel Cleaning Swabs

I really like the convenience and utility of these bore mops! I don't care for the tediousness, inefficiencies, and wastefulness of patches and was using the much more expensive and less versatile cotton mops before these came to market.Why only 3 stars? The point at which the plastic threaded shaft attaches to the plastic mop frame inside the mop is too weak. I have broken several as a result. I accept responsibility for the first one I broke, however since that first failure made me aware of this fault I've tried to carefully operate within the limits of this weakness with only limited success and continue to break them regularly. Ironically, a great feature of these is their potential for economy by cleaning up extremely well which makes them reusable multiple times, unless of course, they break.Anyway, I use and will continue to use these mops along with Swab-its swabs to clean and lubricate all my guns. I buy them in 12, 20, 16 and 28 gauge as well as 22, 30, 38, 40 and 45 caliber. I also use a 20 gauge mop, a standard length rifle cleaning rod, and Hibiclens Surgical Scrub for the daily cleaning of my CPAP machine's heated air delivery tubing.Dear Swab-its: please make that breaking point either stronger or more flexible!

Good price, fast service and free shipping, I am a happy camper.

I hardly ever use patches anymore. These Bore-Tips do the job for me.

nice addition to other cleaning items
