5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Item
I got this for my son, who is a police officer for Christmas. It was a nice gift I was proud to give and he was very happy with it. His wife liked it because not only was it functional it looks nice and is contained. Instead of a bunch of little pieces laying around it's all together, and easy to keep together, everything has it's place.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not that impressive
***
Edit: 31Mar2011 The item previously offered - the item I ordered and received - is not the item pictured in this listing at this time. At this time, the pictures for this listing show a blister pack containing a variety of cleaning tools. What I ordered and received in February, 2011 was a wooden chest with a folding top, drawer, and stand for long-guns. Please...

I bought this gun cleaning kit for my husband for Christmas, and when he opened it his face was in AHHHH!!! he was so impressed how nice it really was, very well built and has everything he needs for cleaning his guns. There is plenty of room on the inside for all his accesories as well. Looking for a good cleaning kit look no more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Received Gift To Avid Sportsman, January 6, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Outers 25 - Piece Universal Wood Gun Cleaning Tool Chest (.22 Caliber and up) (Sports)
Superior results can be obtained if certain precautions are considered.

1. Brass and bronze are 'soft' metal alloys. Use the rods and brushes with finesse, not brute strength.

2. Unless you are under fire, do not rush weapon maintenance. Devote the time and attention necessary for the task or have your weapons professionally cleaned (abt. $25).

3. Do not blame the tools if results are less than satisfactory; they are inanimate objects under your control. If you are old enough to use a weapon, you are old enough to understand (and work with) this concept.

That said, I want to pass along a hearty 'Thank You!' to Outers for providing a fully stocked gun cleaning kit, including highly serviceable rods and brushes, in a nicely crafted tool box. To spice the deal, The Sportsman's Guide was the only vendor carrying the unit just days before Christmas with guaranteed timely delivery.

My son-in-law and grandsons have already used the kit several times. I expect this kit to serve well for many years.

Edit: 31Mar2011 The item previously offered - the item I ordered and received - is not the item pictured in this listing at this time. At this time, the pictures for this listing show a blister pack containing a variety of cleaning tools. What I ordered and received in February, 2011 was a wooden chest with a folding top, drawer, and stand for long-guns. Please be careful in reading other reviews from before Feb 2011 as they probably do not refer to the item pictured as of the date of this review.

This case is functional, but I don't love it, and frankly, I'd be embarrassed to give it to someone as a gift.

There's not much wrong with the tools themselves. The description claims the spear-pointed jags are for .22/.270 and .30 caliber; the smaller is a .27 caliber jag that will not fit the bore of a .22 caliber rifle. The patch loops are plastic.

The case is large enough for plenty of materials - one could easily fit four 12-oz aerosol cans inside, plus patches, a couple screwdrivers, takedown punches, etc.


The problems are entirely with the material of the case. It is framed in hardwood and medium-density fiberboard, with cheap, veneer-grade plywood for the faces. It doesn't look too bad, but it feels exceptionally bad. The interior of the box is rough-cut - no effort was made at even sanding, let alone finishing. The handle on top is secured with an ill-fitting dowel rod.

There is no mechanism to secure the drawer - it is a friction-fit, and the friction is supplied by the cheap plastic tray inside. Remove that tray, and the drawer simply slides out. A latch of some sort would be preferable.

The tray holding the tools looks OK at first glance. Trying to remove the tools from the tray is problematic, as the recesses are deep enough to completely surround the tools, instead of being just deep enough to secure them. The tray is cheap plastic with some sort of velveteen finish.

The long-gun supports are functional, but again, particularly low-grade, rough-cut wood. I wish they would have chosen to save the money on the elastic, buckle, and screws holding them to the lid and instead spent it on improving the rest of the box.

For the price, I think they could have done a much better job on the case and tray.

These are some similar-priced alternatives I'd feel better about owning or giving as gifts.

Let me say the box is for home use it is not a field kit. Like the storage space in the top for oil, solvent, spare parts etc. Had no problem sighting in my moss 500 and SKS. like the fact the rods are brass and not steel, brass will not scratch the bore steel can. For the money a great product that should last for years with care.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice cleaning kit, February 19, 2010

This review is from: Outers 25 - Piece Universal Wood Gun Cleaning Tool Chest (.22 Caliber and up) (Sports)
I've had this kit now for a few months and love it. The box was better built than I though it would be after reading some other reviews. I found it fit tight with no open seams or other problem with the box construction. The cleaning tools are top notch as well especially the brass cleaning rods. I wished they had added some utility brushes with this kit as well as solvent, gun oil and grease however these things are easy enough for me to buy locally. I also like the depth of the tool box portion as I can store a lot in it. All in all I got better than I expected and would buy another without hesitation. I might even pick another up as a gift for one of my fellow gun owners.
