GUN BOSS PRO UNIVERSAL CLEANING KIT Reviews & Ratings

Though this kit is small, it has plenty of devices for cleaning about any weapon from .22 to 12 gauge. It does not clutter your pack with oils, lubs, patches (though it does have a sampling) or anything else to make cleaning messy. I use mine after every shooting event, be it hunting or target shooting.

I bought this several months ago but used it for this first time today to clean a 10/22. Screwed the first rod onto the handle but couldn't get the second rod to screw into the first. Hmm, the female side of the first rod was not threaded grrr. The third rod was threaded on both ends so it was used. Using the supplied patch and .22 jag I applied a bit of CLP on the patch and tried to push it through the bore. The jag got tight after it was in the the bore about an inch and on applying some pressure the two rods bowed and male threads of the second rod broke off in the first rod. I used a nice stainless Pro-Shot one piece rod I use on my bolt guns to finish this simple job. On examining the brass colored rods they appear to made of low quality chinesium, a single section can be easily flexed with little effort and permanently bent without too much more effort. In the 50 years I've been cleaning weapons from .17 to 155mm howitzer, I've never broken a cleaning rod. This would have got one star but I did get an assortment of brushes and jags.

I normally clean my guns with good quality one piece cleaning rods. A friend of mine has asked me to help him sell his guns and I didn't have the kit to clean some of the calibers that he owns. I thought that this could be a quick fix. The rod snapped right at the threading on the second gun that I tried to clean. I decided to just eat the cost and buy the parts that I should have bought from the beginning. This kit is just cheap Chinese junk, plain and simple.
