It gets used a lot. I am very happy with it. Grip works great. Allows me to get closer to the bore guide for applying pressure and not bending the rod. Ruined some rods in the past with the handles fixed on the distant end. If the grip does slip, it’s either me not squeezing enough or the patch or brush is just too big. Give me an anvil and I could probably find a way to ruin it.

The answer is here: Tipton's MAX Force Cleaning Rod. Tipton has created a cleaning rod with a patent pending sliding handle. Now you can put the force you need right next to the bottle neck section you need it applied to. The sliding handle still allows the rod to rotate freely even while clamped down.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>.22 - .45 Cal</li>\r\n\t<li>40 inch</li>\r\n</ul>\n\n"
