Rod broke on first use - Real Avid AR15 Master Cleaning Station

This kit has a lit of great features. I like that it comes with, basically every tool you need, to clean your AR. It rolls up into a compact sleeve case, so it is easy to store. The mat is a nice neoprene material that wont damage your gun, or will not get too damages of oils get on it. The case for all the tools is well organized, and well thought out.

HOWEVER, I cannot recommend this product as the very first time I used it to clean my rifle, the cleaning rod snapped in all 3 sections, sheering off the threading; no way to repair. The force I was using was not excessive, just pushing a pad down the barrel, but apparently it was too much for the cheap rod, and it all fell apart.

I will be ordering another type of rod, or snake to replace the one in the kit.
