XChris1632X Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 The more that I branch out in different calibers, the more I have been needing to expand my cleaning tools. I'm looking for opinions on cleaning kits that some may use. The options I have been looking at is buying one of these $75 dollar multi caliber master kits that come in fancy suitcases or building my own little tool case of all the brushes and materials that I need. And....begin.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangsn95gt Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I seem to get one of those kits every few years as a present but I really only use a few old toothbrushes some dental picks and a boresnake. I haven't broken out the kit in awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furloaf Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Yeah I agree I think they're mostly useless. Patches, old toothbrushes, bamboo skewers, bore snakes and appropriate bore brushes with a segmented brass rod are all I use for rifle, shotgun, and pistol cleaning. The .45 bore brush makes a great .308 chamber brush. For $75 you could buy a supply of what you'll actually use and would last for much longer.

XChris1632X Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I have never seen what exactly they include. I assumed they included all popular calibers and then some as far as brushes are concerned along with rods, brushes, picks, and more. I considered buying a plastic tool box with some plano tackle bins and building my own kit but I thought that I would easily have $50 invested in building a kit with all the brushes and other tools. I would approach having similar money invested with only half the brushes and other stuff. At the same time, the bore snake makes the brush usages fewer and farther between.

Furloaf Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I guess it depends on how many different calibers you have on whether it becomes economical to get the kit or to piece together your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
