Otis Technology Nylon/Blue Nylon/Bronze AP Brushes (Select Your Style)

I actually bought these to clean the calcium/mineral deposits off of the Warm Mist Humidifier in my daughter's room. We have very hard water in my area and a warm mist humidifier builds up deposits quickly.I use the blue one mostly as it has a hard, non-abrasive bristle. The copper gets used for tougher deposits. I save the white one for my pistol cleaning. The size of each brush is good and can get most of the small spots on a Glock. The price was good and they've lasted a while, so they get 5-Stars for now. These worked great at removing residue from a shotgun I was cleaning. Only issue, and this isn't really a complaint so much as a nitpick, is the bristles on the bronze brush are really easy to bend in all sorts of weird angles. I don't expect I'll be using the bronze brush or if I do I'll have to replace it earlier than I expected. Still, definitely worth the money. These brushes have been a great addition to my firearm cleaning supplies. They are holding up very well and perform the job better than I had expected. Previously, I was just using a toothbrush but found it tough to reach certain parts of my weapon. These brushes are thinner than a toothbrush and fit easily in places I wasn't able to reach before. Having 3 different brushes allows me to use the harder bristles, when needed and the softer, when needed. These are a great buy for the price.

A must have when cleaning….. airsofts…. Works great and super durable. A must have when trying to get into crevices

A must have for gun cleaning

Three brushes - soft nylon (white), firm nylon (blue), and bronze (I don't know why everyone keeps calling the last one "copper" - they're sort of the same thing but the terms cannot be used interchangeably). I use the blue brush on most of my firearms to remove carbon (especially around the bore and feed ramp on pistol barrels), and sometimes the bronze brush to remove deeply-set carbon or other deposits. I also have a screw-on version of the blue brush (about 2" long) which came in an Otis gun cleaning kit - I actually prefer that over the full-length brushes because it's easier to scrub with. The miniature brushes on the opposite end are a nice touch but I don't find myself using them much because the dimensions of the plastic handle make it hard for them to fit in most small crevices for which they were intended. The price of this pack isn't all that bad. The cheapest tooth brush 3-pack I've found on Amazon is around $4/shipped. The Otis 3-pack is at least double that ($9 plus s/h) but the brushes are good quality, one of them is bronze which isn't cheap, and tooth brush bristles are usually not firm enough to clean stubborn fouling. I ordered http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L1QWP0U so I will give them a try and report back on a comparison. If they work well, I will probably save the money and buy them from now on.

You ARE cleaning your guns......right? RIGHT?!Then you now what these are. You've probably gone through a handful of these. If you haven't, you need em. Brass for the toughest stuff, stiff blue nylon for scrubbing, soft white nylon for everything else. If you don't have at least 2 sets of these laying around do you even own guns?

Great value for money.

Yes, the size of 7 inches is listed on the product page, but somehow I was still surprised at how small they were when I first saw them in hand. I guess I was imagining 10 inches for easier gripping. Oh well. They are well made and seem like they will do a fine job.

I’m a vintage costume jewelry seller and these are my new favorite tools! These are great for cleaning dust, dirt, old makeup, oils, and verdigris off of jewelry pieces, and are especially handy for getting in tight spots. *If you’ve never cleaned vintage jewelry before, I would recommend using these gently and carefully to avoid damaging old pieces - dislodging stones, removing finishes, etc* but if you are experienced in working with old jewelry, you will love these. Whenever possible, I just use a soft bristle toothbrush with mild dish soap. But sometimes a soft brush doesn’t cut it. These are great for stubborn build up like 20 year old waterproof makeup (bleh). The wire brush is very effective in removing verdigris spots. The softest brush is firmer than a toothbrush but still gentle enough to clean rhinestones. I love that I can start with the softer brush and work up as needed. Highly recommended!!!
