Breakthrough Clean Carbon Removal Tool black and sliver metal elongated shape

The unique contours of several AR-15 operating components require specially shaped cleaning implements to fully remove baked-on carbon build-up, and the Breakthrough Clean Carbon Removal Tool is a dedicated design that can be stored easily in any range bag or toolbox.

Specially designed contours on the scraping end are made to tackle carbon on bolt-carrier groups, bolt heads and firing pins, and the ergonomic handle design gives users the control they need to effectively remove fouling. The double-ended tool blade retracts into the handle when not in use.

Suggested retail price is $19. For more information, please visit breakthroughclean.com.
