The KleenBore ACC11 Patch Holder transforms cleaning rod efficiency by securing patches firmly during barrel cleaning operations. This precision-machined accessory eliminates loose patches and ensures consistent contact across the entire bore surface for .22 through .45 caliber firearms.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard patch loops that can slip or release mid-cleaning, the ACC11 features a mechanical retention system that grips patches securely throughout the cleaning stroke. The #8-32 threading provides universal compatibility with most cleaning rods, while the caliber-specific sizing ensures optimal patch compression. This design reduces cleaning time by 40% compared to traditional loop-style holders.

Field testing demonstrates superior solvent retention and debris removal compared to loop-style alternatives. The mechanical grip maintains consistent patch pressure through rifling transitions, ensuring thorough cleaning of difficult areas like the chamber throat and crown. Professional armorers report 30% fewer passes required to achieve bore cleanliness standards when using patch holders versus traditional methods.
