Reviews & Ratings for Breakthrough Clean Technologies Cotton Swabs - 200 Pack — 2 reviews — Page 1

Very useful for all firearms cleaning. The pointed tips are ideal for all the tight spaces that are typically out of reach with standard cotton swabs. That said! I'd like to see BCT make longer cotton swabs for increased reach on bolt guns, semi-auto long guns, & AR platforms. Lastly! The bamboo shafts need to be a bit thicker to prevent the inevitable breakage when applying slightly angled pressure to get to bolt lug grooves for example.

Before I purchased the extended length Breakthrough swabs, I used standard Q tips and tolerated the inability to get into grooves due to blunt tips or reach certain places because the stick was too short. Or the stick would bend if more than light pressure applied. These pointed tip swabs are great for reaching into cramped areas or being able to push around or through various nooks and crannies in bolt action group components or light cleaning in the lower's trigger area. The wooden stick made for more reliable placement. Sometimes the tip and stick would separate, or the tip would come off during insertion into tight opening but totally understandable considering the conditions. The swab maintained its shape and didn't fluff or leave residue like q-tips will. The fact you get 200 just makes this a fine value. I ordered multiple packages. You go through a lot of these when cleaning dirty ARs. Very pleased with this product!
