## Description

desertcart.com : Tipton Universal Cleaning Rod With Sliding Handle, .17-.20 & .22 Caliber, 40" Rod, For Firearm Claning, Maintenance, and Gunsmithing : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Very nice cleaning rod. - This cleaning rod put all others that I have use to shame. Very stiff and can still flex if need be. High quality and like the way the handle is adjustable during the use. The rod does spin but the cleaning attachments can still unscrew from the end, but I did not find that to be an inconvenience.
Review: Better than sliced bread - The only cleaning rod you will ever need-except maybe for shotguns, and, of course, 17 cal. This rod is easy to use, doesn't damage your barrel and standard tips fit easily. By pushing the lever on the handle it will not slide, but will rotate. You can easily move the slide for shorter (pistol) or longer barrels. Works well with 22 caliber, and is stiff enough that is does not bend easily. Purchase this and you can save all of the money you would use for multiple cleaning rods. Enjoy.

## Features

- ADJUSTABLE: Patent pending clamp mechanism allows you to quickly and easily position the handle at any point along with rod with the press of your thumb
- EASE OF USE: Adjustable handle allows you to put the force you need right next to the bottle neck section you need it applied to
- DURABLE: Constructed from carbon fiber, avoid bent and broken cleaning rods
- DESIGN: The sliding handle still allows the rod to rotate freely even while clamped down

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone used this on multiple calibers? I know it says .22-.45, but can it really do all these calibers? .223/5.56, .243. .300 win mag, 30-06, .270**
A: Yes it works on pistol and rifle bores and shotguns.  I have used it on 5.7x28 mm, .38, .40 and .45 pistol bores; for rifles on .22 rimfire, and centerfires .223 / 5.56 mm, and .308.  For shotguns I've used it on 410 and 12 Ga.  Normally the 12 Ga. attachments have a larger thread size so you'll need a size down adapter to convert to the thread size of the rod (female threads on the rod) and of course you need the appropriate size jags and brushes for the different bore sizes.

**Q: Is this Rod Carbon Fiber?**
A: Yes, this is a carbon fiber rod.

**Q: Does the Max Force cleaning rod come with a storage tube or sleeve for storage?**
A: No it doesn’t. I have a couple of J hooks under an overhead shelf that I cradle it in and I wipe it off before every use. I must say I have really liked this rod.

**Q: Is this an easy fit on a 22 rimfire (10/22) or a tight one ? My current rod says 22 and up, but it's a really tight fit on a 22**
A: This rod is an easy fit for my 10/22 and my cz455.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Only Cleaning Rod You Need.
*by T***7 on March 23, 2019*

The cleaning rod is what i have been looking for. I have been using mine for over 6 months now and use it 3 to 4 times a week cleaning my rifles. There is no changing different link rods that I end up breaking. The tipon rod along with tipton brushes & jags there is no using of adapters that get lost or left on a brush and you can't find that also break easily. I have not broken anything because the brush and jags are the same sizes. It's a great cleaning rod I really like it. In the long run, it saves me time and money from not having to buy new rods that break. I have applied a lot of pressure and the rod can take. I bought the long cleaning rod and with the handle that locks any position does every rifle i have from short barrel AR'S & AK's and all the rifle in between to the longest rifle barrel i have is a 32" inch Swedish Mauser 6.5 x 55.
