The KleenBore SAF302 SAF-T-CLAD cleaning rod delivers reliable maintenance for handguns chambered in .22 through .45 caliber. This 6.5-inch rod features a protective polymer coating that prevents bore damage while maintaining the strength needed for thorough cleaning. The swivel handle design reduces binding and ensures smooth operation during cleaning sessions.
What Makes This Different
The SAF-T-CLAD coating sets this rod apart from standard steel cleaning rods that can scratch or gouge barrel rifling. This protective polymer layer maintains the structural integrity of steel construction while providing a softer contact surface. The coating resists solvents and cleaning chemicals, extending the rod's service life compared to uncoated alternatives. The 6.5-inch length provides optimal reach for most handgun barrels without excess length that could cause flexing.
