Type-III 100pc Gun Cleaning 6 Inch Double Sided Cotton Swabs

These look exactly as pictured. They come in a sealed paper bag. I do think they need to sell them in larger quantities though, I seem to go through a lot of them. They're great for getting into spaces you just physically can't reach without a tool of some sort and they do a great job of cleaning. I didn't have any real issues with them leaving cotton behind - they were quite clean in that respect. I wish they didn't get dirty so quickly, but then again, that's them doing their job, right?Some have complained about the strength of the wooden handles. I find they bear up under reasonable expected force for the product. Sure, you're going to have a few tight spots where you break a few, just grab the end and keep moving. Unless you're willing to pay more for something stronger, that's just life. For the majority of the cleaning I need to do though, this isn't an issue. They do hold up well, they just don't hold up to everything.For those spots with lots of edges, it will deform the heads to a degree, but they still seem to hold up better than average under those conditions. By the time it needs replaced it's typically dirty enough it should be replaced anyway so this really hasn't been an issue for me. Do make sure you get the ones with one end tapered (I've not tried the ones with the fine point). You'll put that tapered end to quite a bit of use if you're cleaning guns with them, though there will be plenty of larger spots for the regular tip too so neither is wasted. Having both seems to tend to prompt me to clean better too as tight corners and broader spots seem to come in equal quantities so as you're flipping back and forth you tend to be more often "using the right tool for the job".I'd recommend these in a heartbeat to anyone needing to clean a gun - now if we can talk the seller into listing them in bulk (1000 at least) with a discount for quantity... I went through about 50 cleaning my handgun and rifle after putting 250-300 rounds total down field.

Generous cotton tip and thin enough to get crevices in gun. Makes cleaning easier

I use these things for all sorts of tasks, not just gun cleaning. They are durable and come in handy for many different applications. I've used them while airbrushing, applying glue for 3d prints, and gun cleaning. I haven't had one break on me while using it which is more than I can say for the standard cotton swab. Will definitely buy again when my current supply runs out.

Husband was obsessed with these. Great for cleaning gun

these swabs are essential for gun cleaning, i mainly bought them for firing pin channel cleaning and they worked perfect, tip end was able to clean thru firing pin hole even, great for 22 barrel cleaning and 9 if you add cleaning cloth to end of rounded edge, save you from having to get cleaning kit with 20 different bar extensions

These cotton swabs are excellent for cleaning my guns. The are absorbent and allow me to reach all of the areas of the gun that I need to clean/oil. Excellent value for the purpose. Fast delivery. I will definitely order these again!

Cleaned my handguns and AR with these several times and I like them. They don't break easy, and the cotton is wrapped tight. Length is good for getting into deep spots on a really dirty rifle. The tapered tip is handy for cleaning recessed areas, or for adding a light coat of oil. Holds up fine with solvents, oil, and grease. These are good for all kinds of things too - Guns, hobby/crafts, electronics, cleaning/greasing small parts on repairs.I'm very frugal but figured I'd give them a shot anyway. Glad I did. Worth the money.AMERICAN MADE!! I'll be ordering more soon.

Buying in bulk works fine as these are exactly as you would expect.
