Broke Immediately
I had a .44 that needed to have some leading removed. I bought this item assuming that it would remove the lead, given a number of sparkling reviews that I saw online. The thread on the rubber piece pulled off the first time that I used it, leaving me with a useless tool. I didn't overtighten or do anything outrageous with it, I just used it exactly as instructed in the manual. I imagine that the Lewis Lead Remover was good at one point, but the quality of the tool is obviously terrible now. I do not recommend this tool, and I suggest that any buyer beware.

What's so great?
I shoot competition with coated bullets. After a couple of practice sessions (I don't clean the gun inbetween) I could tell accuracy dropped off. I ordered this kit, extra screens, the kroil and JB bore polish. Took a real dirty gun I knew had leading, ran some patches soaked with kroil through the bore, assembled the kit and went to work. Nothing. No fouling, no lead chunks, nothing came out... I could see the build up. Checked the instructions. Reassembled the kit and tried again. Still nothing. So I tried the cylinder throats. Nothing. This kit did absolutely nothing for my 625. I went back to using my oversized bore brushes. After using them and some elbow grease, fouling, lead and all the gunk came out. I am very disappointed in this kit, it does not work as others have reviewed. And it was not cheap.

Doesn't work for me.
I've tried this in a S&W 686P and Ruger SP101. I find it just bordering on useless. I keep trying, but always end up scrubbing with chor boy for a half hour anyway.

too much hype
we only shoot lead at our range and both my 9mm & 357 get pretty bad. it was becoming a unbearable chore after every shoot and i needed something better. i heard a lot about this product on the internet but buying one in aussie is hard to find. finnaly got one [...] set about to give my toys a thorough cleaning and found this product to be the biggest disapointment. it gave the forcing cone a good clean but i can scrub the barrels with a bit of elbow grease better than this thing. looks like i will stick with my brushes. dont waste your money buy more brushes
