Ardent Reel Reel Cleaning Kit

Was having some problems with last years purchases of about 6 Quantum reels and 5 of the 6 were back reeling and one of them was new out of the box doing it. Tore them all down in hopes of a good cleaning and greasing would fix the problem before I had to load them all up and bombard their customer service center with defects. Luckily all the reels seem to be good now after the thorough tear-down/cleaning. Everything works as it should now. Which I think is a testament to the quality of this kit. It had everything I needed for the reels, and I didn't use a tenth of it even when I tore down a few of my bigger saltwater spinning reels too. This kit isn't much bigger than your hand and comes with everything you need for a good cleaning and redoing all the lube and grease. Highly recommend and should have bought mine years ago.

Overall very satisfied with this kit. I have so far completely cleaned,oiled, and greased 3 reels and have plenty of materials left to do more.My only complaint is the tube of grease. The back seal of the tube came open and so grease squirts out the back. It's annoying, but mitigated by being careful when using it.

The kit itself is simple and works fine, however, the packaging design needs to be improved. The bristles of the cleaning brush that came with my kit were flared open and are basically ruined because the only way it could fit in the box is to have it pressed up against the reel oil bottle. It's not a big deal to me since I have old toothbrushes I can use instead but even without the brush inside I find that the plastic box will barely close. Ardent needs to make the box just a little bigger.

The reel cleaning kit arrived as promised however the bottle of Corrosion Inhibitor leaked inside the storage box. The foam packaging material absorbed most of it leaving only a very small amount in the bottle.

Received the kit and looks like what I need and want. Main issue I have is the screwdriver was rusty when I unpackaged it. Keep in mind this is a “saltwater” kit. At least put a chrome-plated screwdriver in the kit for the money. Keep in mind, I have numerous screw drivers but that doesn’t change that I should have received something that wasn’t rusty.

i liked the size of the box, everything is compacted in one box where u can store it easily anywhere u want.

The kit includes the essentials for cleaning and taking care of your reels. However packaging needs serious improvement. The brush bristles are bent to the point of almost not being usable and the screw driver that was included was already showing rust upon first opening the box.

Arrived in perfect condition, no issues at all.Its better to purchase this kit than to purchase separately, plus it has a nice convenient case.
