Strong picks. Doesn't easily bend like others...Supposed brass exterior holds up well and doesn't seem to scratch gun metal bluing

Ordered these, as I've been unable to find a set of picks that have the angle and flat tips for an AR chamber. We have a winner here folks.Brass is decent hardness; if you really push on the tips you can bend them, but any regular gun cleaning duty shouldn't even come close to damaging these.The real win here is the specific angles, and that each of the picks has a flat point on one side. That's great for getting a cleaning patch into your chamber, and being able to move it around without just poking through it, as with most picks.Brush is a standard nylon brush you get with almost every run of the mill gun cleaning kit.These are amazing for firearms, and a host of other crafts and uses I still have yet to discover. Will be ordering more.

Part of my every session cleaning tools. I also have the Pro-Shot Brass Gun Pick Cleaning Tool (available elsewhere on Amazon) and these things are indispensable. The brush is a nice add-on but I really bought the set for the brass picks. Each one's a little different, and they offer access to essentially any little nook, cranny or groove that their length will allow you to reach on a gun. Really nice to get into slide grooves on a semi-auto pistol. Well made, should last for years. The center portion of the tools is knurled, so no slipping; excellent grip. Just put your cleaning solution onto a patch and use the tips of these tools to get that patch where you need it. MUCH better than "Q-tips" not only for getting into tiny spaces but I always find that the swab sticks break so easily with almost any pressure. Long term, I think that this is more effective and cheaper than cotton swabs (also don't leave cotton fibers in the gun like swabs can, in my experience). Patches with these things are cheaper than the swabs. Safe shooting!

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

I purchased this set because of the good reviews, and the picks being brass. Read too many negative reviews on the other plastic picks that bend too easily or beak off. This brass set is well worth the money. These are solid picks and DO NOT bend at all. The brush (both ends) has very stiff bristles (they are not soft). Each pick feels very good in your hand and does not slip out. You really can't go wrong with this set.BTW: I use the pointed pick to press in the plunger when inserting the slide lever into the slot. That's how strong the pointed pick is,

Brass is better than stainless steel as it won’t remove metal from the firearms. It is a softer material. That is why brass bristled brushes worK SO Well at removing debris and stains. I use this pick on the chamber where my brushes do not reach.The different shapes allow getting to tight channels, edges or spots that brushes can’t reach.A nylon brush comes with the set but I find it futile. I basically use a bore cleaning solvent, then scrape after a few minutes. Then I use compressed air to get rid of debris. I always were a mask/respirator, as well as goggles because the stuff can aerosolize.It’s a must have for your cleaning needs.

These brass cleaning picks are good quality and sturdy. They work a lot better than plastic ones.

These picks are brass, not plastic or steep. You can put pressure on them without fear that they'll break (as the plastic ones do) or that they'll harm your firearms and their finish (as steel tools can). The tips will bend a little, but not break (at least not that I've experienced).

Lo utilizo para darle mantenimiento a equipos de buceo y funciona super bien

Had bought the nylon version of these.Needed a bit more rigidity..these are perfect for getting into nooks and crannies.Expensive...but you get what you pay for with these.

I give 5 stars because it provides what is advertised. The brush kit is a super stiff option which doesn't risk damaging sensitive areas or parts.BUTIf you're like me and first believed that metal was always better- be aware that plastic picks may be the better choice as you do not want to scratch or gouge areas of your firearm. Metal should only be a last resort and most likely the result of cleaning neglect. Be careful with the leverage you will get as these metal picks are very strong and stiff.

Great tools. Sharp, but soft (don't scratch stainless). I find myself only using one of the picks for 90% of my gun cleaning.I recommend these tools.

Excelente calidad muy útil para lugares muy difíciles para los cepillos para quitar grasa y pólvora de cualquier arma
