Only cleaning rods I'll buy
I love these cleaning rods because along with being of top notch build quality, they are constructed of materials that guarantee your firearm's bore will absolutely not be damaged as everything these rods are made out of is significantly softer than the common grades of steel used for rifle barrels. I use these cleaning rods religiously and they have never let me down.
Dewey offers quality customer support
Great product from a great American product. Has a relatively minor problem with the rod. Sent Dewey an email and they quickly resolved the problem to my satisfaction without charge. Quality company. Regards, Grant
Best rod
I started out with two of these rods for my 22, 556, and 243 caliber rifles. Liked them so much, I bought a pistol rod, and will probably buy more. What I like the most about these rods is that they are fairly stiff for cleaning a small bore gun that may be very dirty from lots of use. I also like the coating that protects the bore. What I think really makes these rods shine is how easily the rod and handle rotate as the rod is pushed through the bore. VERY smooth and MUCH better in this regard than Tipton (I own one in 17 cal). Tipton makes a good rod but Dewey is better.
Bought for SBR uppers!
I purchased this awhile back for a shorter one piece rod to clean SBR uppers. It saves a lot of time from assembling and disassembling the old 3 piece rod. I find the coating helps also as is easier to wipe fouling and chemicals off of it. I have a 8" 7.5" and this rod goes from muzzle all the way out of the upper receiver. I will purchase this again if it breaks. Excellent buy for stamp collectors with shorter barrels.
Almost a whole new method...
I've always used steel rods, otis wires, and bore snakes. Having a coated, solid piece rod that can't damage the bore is invaluable. This, with Dewey brushes, jags, and bore guide make the best bench kit for the serious shooter. Especially when care must be taken not to damage the bore, like precision shooting.
best rod period.
skip the vinyl coated safe-t clad rods, this rod is hands down, the best. The nylon coating on the Dewey rods do not get soft and it doesn't wear off.
Dewey rods are great!
I was at first hesitant to spend [$]on a cleaning rod, but after using it for a while, I've found it to be WELL worth the money. Is it needed for the once a year hunter? Probably not, but if you value your firearms, I think you owe it to yourself to get a good one-piece rod along with a bore guide. The only negative I can find is that if you lose the adapter, you can only use Dewey jags, but it's not a big deal in my mind. Depending on your space, the length could be a problem, but it's not a huge deal.

Best cleaning rods
I clean my benchrest guns hundreds of times during a shooting season and the Dewey rods have the only coatings that stand up to that kind of use. I've used 4 or 5 other brands of high-end cleaning rods and keep coming back to the Dewey's because they just keep working. The other brands might have better bearings in the handles and softer grips, but none of that matters if the rod coating is softened by your cleaning chemicals and transformed into a sandpaper reamer in your expensive barrels
Great Cleaning Rod
I have been using this rod for years to clean 38SP, 40 S$W, 45 ACP, and 45 LC barrels, from 2" to 7.5". I also use the Dewey rifle length rods for .22 RF, 30-30 Win, and .270 WIN. I also use it to clean cylinders on my revolvers. They don't scratch the bore or crown like some other materials due to the coating. They don't bend or buckle like weaker materials. I love the handle size and design with the rod floating on ball bearings. They rotate easily with the rifling for proper cleaning. Due to the male threads, you need some adapters if you use attachments from other mfg, unless they make them to fit Dewey rods. Some might see this as a negative, however, I don't since the products made for the Dewey rods I've used are all of excellent quality.
