nice jag
I wanted to get a jag for my new cleaning rod to use on my new revolver. I like the brass jags for cleaning.

Great Jags
When you use the best cleaning rods which is Dewey why not use the best Jags

Very nice
High quality cleaning rod. Bearing is very free allowing the brush and patches to follow the rifling. You can also tighten the jag up while it's in the barrel should it come loose, because the hanger part on the top is connected to the rod through the handle. The carbon fiber rod itself is very easy to wipe off compared to aluminum. Could stand to be a couple of inches longer, as it just makes it to the end of the barrel.
Dewy jag
I tried this on a new build. So easy with small round patch. I like the fact that it stays put unless it leaves the barrel ,then it just falls off. After a series of fire, wet patch, let soak for 5 min, then nylon brush for 10 cycles up and back, then some cleaning oil like Kroil , dry patch. Made cleaning/barrel break in easier.
Superior to My Other .22 Jags
The smaller diameter of the forward section and larger diameter of the rear section makes this superior to two other .22 jags I have. The smaller forward section reduces the force required noticeably, and the larger rear section prevents the end of my stainless steel cleaning rods from catching on the breech or the muzzle (yes, I know many advise against cleaning from the muzzle end).
Best option
This, with Dewey's nylon coated rod and Dewey bore guide, is the best system for patches I've used. None of it can hurt the chamber or bore, all the solvents and oils stay in the bore or drip out the muzzle, and it's easy. Just push the patch out in the direction of the bullet and the patch normally falls off itself when you pull the rod out. Just keep driving patches through. It has great contact inside the bore and gets everything.
Needs Knurling
These Dewey jags are ok but I wish Brownells would reintroduce the brass jags that they use to produce with bands of knurling. I found these to be much better when wrapping a patch around the jag.
NOT AS DEPICTED
The photo of this cleaning jag is not accurate. The actual product has the bearing surfaces at the tip, not evenly spaced along the shaft. In addition, the diameter of the jag just forward of the threads does not taper down to where the threads begin. When placed on a .22 caliber rod there is a sharp edge that catches on the barrel crown. Yeah, it's brass and the barrel is steel but I don't like the feel of the jag hitting the barrel when you pull the rod back through. I took a short piece of 1/4" shrink tubing and covered the joint with it.
