Tipton Cleaning Picks 4pk with High-Strength Polymer for Gun Cleaning and Maintenance

these are for cleaning my guns. They are ok so far, seem a little flimsy but they are not metal,

Very handy for cleaning your weapons. Being made of plastic makes them very flex able for fitting into tight spots, getting the job done without scratching your weapons. Can't beat them for the price.

Breaks easily

These polymer picks make getting a patch right down into those tight grooves, nooks, and crannies where carbon likes to hide and other implements and brushes won't reach; but without risk of scratching the surface or finish. Makes the cleaning process that much easier and better.

Needed cleaning tools for my cleaning kit. Wanted tools that won't scratch sensitive sliding surfaces. Chose these to do the job.

They are cheap, but also cheaply made. For polymer firearms these probably couldn't damage the material, but also are a pain to use to get clean. Think plastic spatulas on non-stick pans - have to use, but don't feel right and bend too easily. These also bend. Different shapes, haven't found a purpose for most of them. I find by using a metal pick (dental instruments that I had in dental school 40 years ago!) work better of course on metal bores and guns, and with care can still be used on polymer guns. I find the brushes work about as good as these picks. They are not horrible, and you get what you pay for. I will still use these, but can't highly recommend them and won't probably buy again.

While aimlessly browsing through Amazon I ran across these and noticed the low rating. Surprised by that, I read a few reviews and thought I would throw in my .02.I've had these picks for about two years and I think they are a great value. Two of the picks have only been used a couple of times, one is used somewhat frequently and the fourth pick is used 100% of the time that I clean a firearm (long rifles and handguns). These picks make cleaning the internal slide rails, firing pin area, small .22 chamber areas, patterns in grip textures, around scope mounts, etc. very easy. After using these picks heavily for two years, I would become frustrated quickly if I did not have them while cleaning some areas.They are polymer so I don't use excessive force. But I do use reasonable force to scrape powder residue from dirty powder that builds up after a day of heavy shooting. These picks have held up well; no cracks, breaks, chips or bending that will not return to its original shape. I am aware that they are not stainless precision tools and I use them accordingly. I even threw one loosely in the bottom my briefcase to clean, and teach how to clean and oil, a coworker's personal protection handgun. After that it rattled around in my briefcase for a week before I remembered to take it out and its condition was absolutely fine.As a matter of fact, every time thatI clean a firearm I think that I should buy a set for my range bag but then forget by the time I get everything put away. Now that I took the time to write this review I'm going to order another set now before I forget again.

Good gun cleaning tools. Gets in those hard to get at places to clean.

Bought these for cleaning gunk out of tight spots in receivers and between the barrel and receiver for some of my guns. They work great for this as advertised and seem pretty durable so far.

Productos buenos pero no seran de larga vida

La utilidad que tienen es para raspar en puntos donde un material mas duro dañaría los acabados, son resistente si les das el uso adecuado de lo contrario podrían romperse.

This is a review of the Tipton 549864 Polymer Gun Cleaning Picks.The product comes with four picks, each pick having two heads, and each head having a different bend and/or barb. They are fairly cheap plastic, and bend with pressure. If you are not gentle with them, you could easily break the tip off or even snap the entire pick in half.I treat them gently and haven't had any issues yet. I use them to poke a cleaning cloth into the nooks and crannies of firearms. So far, so good. One pick with one head would have been sufficient for my needs, but I've got replacements should they break.For the price, I would recommend them.

No sirven es una porquería China, se doblan, es más cómo le puedo hacer para devolverlos, son de adorno muy chafas.
