Perfect getting to hard reach places and durable under pressure in most instances - Breakthrough Clean Technologies Cotton Swabs - 200 Pack

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!
