I've been using these for years to clean UV flatbed printer heads.

They work great for I need them for. I have been using these for years.

In the search for the best gun cleaning products, you'll find plenty of options. Most revolve around some sort of q-tip product or another. All my friends use everyday q-tips, but I never understood why, as they leave fuzz in all the wrong places. Yes, they're dirt cheap, but your gun isn't- get my drift? The 71-4500 swab is PERFECT for so many different handgun cleaning tasks. Cleaning your magwell, cleaning your magazines... you name it. Of course this swab is broader than your garden variety q-tip, but that's why they're so good. As it's foam you can't scrub briskly, you've got to use a little restraint, but so what- the head will do what you need it to. The handle is not stiff like a board and is a good length for lots of calibers. Stop using lint/fuzz sticks! Pay the extra for the Swab-It!

I highly recommend the foam swabs. I use them often when detailing my car. In addition to using the swabs when detailing my car I have found many used for them around the house when cleaning in small spaces. The price for 500 swabs was quite reasonable!

We use them all day long, 100% satisfied
