Bombswab Review

This review is for the barrel swabs that are sold Here.
Top: New BombSwab
Bottom: Used BombSwab

A swab is a very simple and critical piece of gear. It is easy to forget about or overlook until you need it. In the past I have owned a couple different barrel swabs. Namely a few by Redz and DYE.
After a few game days, these swabs would always fall apart and I would be walking to the proshop to buy the same old swab I knew wouldn't last long. The material used ("swab" portion) would clean the barrel fine, but quickly deteriorate over the course of a few days of play. It would become very compressed and wouldn't do a great job cleaning barrel breaks anymore. Also, the rubber piece in the center would crack or be pulled apart easily. The latter was the bigger issue of the two.

Features:
-100% Customizable, from the letters/logo on the label to the swab and connector. You can even choose    what font for your custom label.
-100% lambswool. Proven to be durable and work well in my experience.
- Made in U.S.A.

I happened across a thread on PBNation a couple years ago claiming how much better the product was. I thought to myself "its just another swab, but I'll give it a shot." I ordered a "3 Swab Player Pack." Very simple to order, just customize the way you want and go from there.

I couldn't be happier with the products I bought. It has stood the test of time and has not failed me in the ways that other manufacturers products have. The connector piece (rubber piece in center) has not cracked or given way at all. The glue that holds it all together has not allowed it to come apart at all.


I would highly recommend them to anyone, the couple dollars more you pay for a BombSwab will easily go farther than another that you have to buy every few games.

I know it is a small piece of gear, but these are far superior to anything I have tried. I am impressed, and if I need another swab, Bombswabs.com will be the first place I go.

Oh and one last thing that makes these worth those extra couple dollars (if you missed it the first time): MADE IN USA!
