The threaded part breaks off easily, usually remaining in the cleaning rod being used. It's more of a pain in the butt to extract the broken portion than it is compared to the benefit of the swab it.

All of Swab-its firearms cleaning products perform better, easier, and faster than other methods. And they're reusable. That's a win-win-win-win.

Had an issue with one of the tips and this company went the extra mile to rectify the issue.
The tips work great for cleaning the bores on my AR-15 and Sr22 and by being washable and reusable, it makes them a great buy

works great, just ordered more

Just used these to clean my .223/5.56/.22 rifle. I'm actually amazed at this idea as well as how well it works. After the solvent and wire brush through the bore the swab is much more successful than the patches and I don't hear the bore being scratched because the patches don't fully wrap around the pole as it goes through the bore. Also great to use for apply oil to every part of your firearm-almost eliminated my need for q-tips. Definitely getting more!
