Reviews & Ratings for Outers Coated Steel Cleaning Rods — 1 review — Page 1

Works great for my 16" barrel AR. Good for getting the chamber brush in and I find I like it much better than the cable that comes with my Otis AR cleaning kit (great kit by the way) for running brushes and patches. But the rotating handle is junk. It broke off during the first cleaning (2 brush runs, 3rd patch run). It's only held on by a small, thin clip. But that's OK, because a little Gorilla Glue makes it the solid, strong rod I was looking for in the first place. It's pretty easy to let the brush or patch turn on your rifling (only 2 turns in a 16" AR) so there's no real reason for a rotating handle. Buy it, "break" it then fix it how it shoulda come in the first place.
Pros: Sturdy (except for handle), inexpensive
Cons: twist handle, twist handle, twist handle
