The Hoppe's 34002 BoreSnake Soft Sided Cleaning Kit delivers comprehensive bore cleaning for .357 Magnum, .380 ACP, and 9mm pistols in a compact, portable package. This all-in-one cleaning solution eliminates the need for separate cleaning rods and multiple patches, streamlining field maintenance and range cleanup procedures.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional rod-based cleaning systems, the BoreSnake's integrated bronze brush and cleaning area combine scrubbing and swabbing in a single pass. The patented design pulls through the bore smoothly without risk of crown damage from metal cleaning rods. Each pass provides 160 times more cleaning surface contact than standard patches, reducing cleaning time by up to 75% compared to conventional methods.
