Umarex177 and .22 Caliber Air Gun Cleaning Kit - Includes Cleaning Rod, Brushes, Mops, Jags, Pads, Driver Set and Thread Adapter

Good

I guess very good looks good, but I never used

Let start off I’m new to break barrel air guns. I have a fair amount of rim fire and center fire rifles. I’m 63 and have been cleaning those guns for the past 45 years.I just brought a Gamo Swarm Maxxim .177 G2 Quick-shot. First the kit didn’t come with any patches. It isn’t recommended to use the cleaning pellets cause of the baffling on the rifle. They recommend cocking the barrel a little bit so you can see the breach, I did that. It took me a few tries but I snaked the cleaning rod from the muzzle end down to the breach. With the Gamo G2 Quick-shot you have to remove the loading assembly so the cleaning rod exits the breach. You pop out 2 pins and you can access the barrel a lot easier.So in conclusion it serves the purpose. It would be a lot better on a single shot gun.

Never occurred to me that airguns would need cleaning - there's no powder involved, so what's the point? But I read various forums that said you should absolutely clean them. So I bought this set, thinking I might as well. What you get is a 33" cable - not rod - that fits inside the .177 barrel. There is a brush and a mop for both .177 and .22. The cable isn't all that stiff. I had to really work at it to get the mop through the barrel - the handle isn't particularly useful for this, since the breech on my .177 is too small to get the cable into. I had to feed it in through the muzzle like you would with a rod, but pinching the cable to hold it and feeding it in about an inch at a time. Bit of a pain. It was surprisingly oily and dark when I got it back out, so cleaning was in order.Two nice things about this set - the handle is a hex receiver on one side, and they give you a set of six driver bits that fit it, so the handle doubles as a screwdriver. They give you a *big* flathead - probably for scope screws - that's 10mm wide, a regular sized flat and two phillips heads, and a 3mm and 4mm hex key bits. It's also kind-of usable as a t-handle to pull the cable through. But only kind-of, because having pushed the darned thing into the barrel by hand, you might as well just pull it back out by hand too.A problem with the handle is that one side is threaded, and the threads don't fit anything in the set. The brushes and mops thread into the cleaning cable, but nothing threads into that handle. Odd.Finally, it comes with little blow-through cleaning pellets - 15 of each, .177 and .22 - so you can blow those through like you would use a cleaning patch for a regular cleaning. It's not a bad set for the money if you're only cleaning air rifles once or twice a year.

Just What I Was looking For - Thanks Ed

Ordered this item as a cleaning tool for our air rifle, but as a new user and this being my first cleaning, I had expected some sort of instructions on how to properly use everything provided in this kit. Upon opening, I did not understand what to use each brush for and how to use it. Kit looks like it was made of good quality, and wish we could rate it higher, but it not at all first time user-friendly.

I picked this kit up begrudgingly. I don’t like cleaning guns because a) most modern guns need very, very infrequent cleaning and b) over-cleaning is the #1 reason many barrels wear out ahead of their time. I also didn’t want to pay for a bunch of screwdriver bits that I saw as merely additional cost. (I have plenty bits of my own, after all!)Boy, was I wrong!Yes, I’ve used the cable to clear the barrel when I suspected a potential obstruction on an heirloom hand-me-down. And no, I haven’t used the swab more than once or twice. ...but this kit is now an indispensable part of my airgun range bag. The screwdrivers are my go-to for adjusting sights or even opening the whole thing up. The cotton pellets sold me on their use and I turned around and bought a bunch more. (Which all for back nicely in this case.) My Pelgunoil fits behind the plastic insert that holds the tools. In short, this is a very compact one-stop place for anything I need 99% of the time for my airgun. You are NOT going to regret this purchase.

It didn’t come with the patch pull through pieces instead it came with cleaning pellets that’s meant to be shot through the gun.Haven’t used any of the other tools so can’t review on those but the bore mop has exposed metal on the tip that could scratch your rifling
