The Breechtool® is so versatile you can use it to clean a wide variety of rifles, including the AR-15, AR-308, M16, M4, C7A2, AR-18, AR-180, BRN-180, H&K G36, FN SCAR, FN15, HK416, HK417. It works just as well on pistols such as the Glock^®, Smith & Wesson M&P, Springfield Armory XD, SIG P320, CZ 75, and many, many other firearms not listed here!


Breechtool® Original consists of three components designed for specific cleaning tasks. The patented main tool lets you get cleaning patches into tight places previously untouched effectively by any other cleaning tool on the market. Its unique shape enables you to dislodge stubborn carbon and grit by allowing both clockwise and counter-clockwise movement because it does not rely on a threaded attachment.


The unique brush head can be angled to scrub any dirty part of the firearm. The nylon bristles are tough on fouling but soft enough not to damage any part of the gun. The brushes are easily cleaned in warm, soapy water, but eventually they will wear out.


The pin tool is very useful for getting into hard-to-reach places. The straight, flat edge is excellent for scraping off carbon deposits, especially on gas system components.


Breechtool Lite® is the entry-level Breechtool® for those on a budget who still want to do serious cleaning quickly. Its simplified profile lets you take advantage of the scrubbing action of the brush heads and the main tool, but it lacks the pin tool or folding joint.


The handy Breechtool® Ops Pack consists of the Original Breechtool® and five (5) each of the Black and Green brush heads.


Hasn't Scratched Yet, Never Will: The material of the Breechtool® body is made of high-quality 304 Sheffield Stainless steel, which has about half the Vickers hardness of the barrels and barrel extensions on most modern rifles. The brush heads are made of non-marring Nylon 610, which is very oil resistant. All of this means the Breechtool® will not - and has NEVER - damaged a firearm since 2009.


Background & Development: The Breechtool® is the result of close collaboration with a huge group of specialists, including input from members of the armed forces of the United Kingdom, United States, and other countries. Development started in the U.K. in 2009 with direct involvement of soldiers, armorers, the Small Arms School Corps (SASC), and the Infantry Trials and Development Unit (ITDU) of the British Army, in conjunction with the University of Northumbria’s School of Computing Engineering and Information Sciences. It later surpassed all tests and requirements of the U.K. Police Firearms Units, enabling the Breechtool’s manufacturer to become an official supplier to these units.
