Not very impressed(17/02/2011)
I have had this product for several years and found that it does not extract much of the fouling between or beyond the locking lugs (it's not designed to go into the chamber). Once the cleaning wad is "deployed", it does not rotate well to extract the fouling. Even if you use an in an out motion instead of rotating the tool, there is not much difference. Also, the plug becomes dislodged from the handle if much movement of the handle occurs, which is frustrating to pick out. It does not make any difference if the cotton plugs are used wet or dry. I get a lot more junk out with Q-tips. Those long wooden Q-tips are especially nice for this purpose. I would not recommend it, even though the manufacturing tolerances are at the usual very high Sinclair standards.
AR-15 Lug Tool worth every penny!(05/04/2011)
I use this to clean both my M4 rifle and my ar-15 at home. Hands, down this beats trying to stick a cleaning patch and your pinky in the chamber. This gets it done the first time everytime. The Army should issue this to every soldier. Well worth your $$
great cleaning tool(11/08/2011)
When you read properly the cleaning instructions....,it is very good tool to remove the dirt from behind the chamber of your AR! I will recommend this to all AR-rifle owners!
Does The Job(24/05/2014)
Works fine just be sure and use it per the instructions. Other than a spray/flush operation this is about as good as it gets. If you let your lug recesses get encrusted with powder residue (carbon), it may take more than one application to get them clean. It's not the perfect solution, but it does as well as any other workbench cleaning tool I've ever used.
Handle Comes Off(12/09/2015)
I have owned two of these. I bought both of them at Camp Perry. The problem is although it does a good job, is that the handle breaks and comes off. I would think that since I have owned two of these and both had the handles come off that it is a product defect. I am not buying another one.

Locking lugs are difficult to get at, this makes it much easier to swab out and lube.
