Hoppe's BoreSnake vs. SSI Knockout?

[Bob01]

Hey All,

In the market for a boresnake or boresnake-like device. I ran into the SSI Knockout:

http://www.amazon.com/caliber-KnockOut-Pass-Rope-Cleaner/dp/B000FGWQ4M/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Can anyone comment on the product? It seems like a better idea in that the brush and rope are two separate items?

Thanks,

Bob

No personal experiance with that brand.
But it should work just as well as any other bore-snake.

Which IMO, is not nearly as good as a real cleaning rod, brushes, and patches.
Nothing can replace them.

I only have one bore-snake, and only use it with older Winchester lever-action .22 & 25 cal center-fires and .22 pumps that can't be cleaned from the breech end with a cleaning rod.

I always wonder why folks like these things. It might work great the 1st time. On using it a 2nd time would'nt you be allowing old dirt and possible abrasives to enter the barrel? I believe the role of 'Bore Cleaning' is to remove dirt/contaminates not introduce it. IMHO

Your suppose to wash it in between uses....

sorry but this seems obvious to me. You wouldn't use a dirty cleaning patch would you?
