Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I gave these cleaners by BJ Long a try and was favorably impressed. I normally use Bryn Mawr's which are good, but not always available. The BJ Long's Hard Bristole's are much stiffer than the Dill's Bristle. Neither though is as absorbent as the standard, nonbristle Dill's.
I use these cleaners primarily for cleaning my pipes but also for cleaning guns and working on large clock pieces. They hold up quite well and are an excellent tool. I am not overly thrilled as to the packaging of these particular pipe cleaners though; much preferring the nice cardboard envelopes that the Dill are sold in and even the paper envelopes the Bryn Maur are packaged. Having and handful of loose pipe cleaners is a bit of a pain.
There is a wee bit of a price difference with all these brands but so small that it is hardly worth mentioning.
Now buyers take note! These are NOT the pipe cleaners that are use for arts and crafts. Those are a completely different animal and should not be confused. The arts and crafts variety you can buy at the local hobby shop or places like Wally World are not meant for difficult cleaning tasks. You will end up with gobs of pink/yellow/red or what ever color of fluff stuck in your pipe stem which does neither you nor the pipe any good.
These are a good, serviceable cleaner and other than the packaging, I have no complaint what so ever.
NOTE: Not that I would know form personal experience, but I am told that if you fold these in half and try to clean your ears with them...it hurts. After feeling the stiffness of the bristle of these things I must agree. If you must do this, use the softer regular Dill's. Remember what your mom always told you..."never ever put anything in your ears larger than your elbow."
