Page 2 - Umarex Airgun Cleaning Kit, .177 Reviews

I am reviewing the Umarex cleaning kit. It works.

Not thinking of any changes.

The Umarex kit is a pull through kit. I think that this is best for 177 caliber. I mention this because of comments requesting "stiffer" cables. For 177 caliber, ANY push through kit will be very short lived. The joints fail. Can't be helped. A pull-through kit will survive the firearm. As an aside to other commenters, I'll say taking what I call extreme measures is unproductive. I've seen recommendations for washing pellets. Okay. Useful in some applications, but for the majority of airgunners, needless. The pellets are coated with graphite in most cases because without a graphite coating you would have corroded pellets. Washing that graphite coating off mandates replacement with "something". Why??? If you are looking for "hole-in-a-hole" accuracy, okay. Do what you have to do to achieve that. On the other hand, if you're looking for functional accuracy, leave the graphite coating alone and just add a tiny bit of airgun oil to the pellets. That works for functional accuracy.

Compact and self contained in a durable plastic case.

Not sure that I would change anything. I don't care for the keeper button sticking up during use, but fixing that would probably increase cost. Plus, it really isn't in the way all that much - just an annoyance.

This is a compact kit for cleaning 177 cal air rifles. It does the job it is supposed to do. It is a cable system which means it's a "pull through". If you are looking for a straight rod system, this isn't it. I've heard a few people say "I wish it were stiffer so I could push the pellet out of the barrel". That's not the way cable or chain systems work. I prefer straight rod systems, but by the time you are down to 177 cal, the sectioned rods are too delicate to last. A 177 cleaning rod needs to be one piece if you expect it to last. Which negates taking it with you regularly. This kit can be tossed in the range bag. Plus, with a pull through system, you are protecting the crown of the barrel meaning better accuracy over time. So, while I might prefer something different, this kit does the job, and does it well, and I'm completely satisfied.

It is a nice kit works great

Nothing

It's a great beginning clean kit.

Compact with extra tools for mounting scope or other accessories in a case with a good latch to keep your stuff inside .

Make the cable a little stiffer to make it easier to push in the mop or a patch

All in a very useful tool . But will not work to remove double loaded pellets in my Gauntlet must have ridged rod !!!

I like how compact the kit is and how complete it's a very small box and fits into a lot of fanny packs plus it has all the attachments that you need out into the field

Absolutely nothing

This little kit with other attachments will work on big game rifles as well it's a very useful tool and easy to carry out in the field and it's reasonably priced a great deal for no more than it cost

No comment.

The quality of the cleaning tip that holds the cloth is very poor for the.177 tip. It broke in half when used the first time. PyramydAir replaced it free of charge.

No comment.

All tools needed for the most popular airgun calibers. No Metal bore bruses

No changes needed

the patches if you cut them in half. the cable helped push out a stuck pellet before i had a rod.

everything.

this kit is useless.no brass brush means you aren't cleaning anything. Rookie mistake here.

It does everything it was made to do.

If they had made that cable Spring Steel it would have been a whole lot easier to run through your Barrel and out the breach,

I clean from the break to the end of the barrel. If it hadn't been spring steel coated in rubber. It would have made the process of cleaning the barrel a whole lot easier. Just my opinion

I ordered a 1250cs Winchester air rifle 0.177 so I had decided that I needed a cleaning kit but I only needed it for a 0.177 so I ordered this kit ,and I figured the 0.22cal would not go to waste for I can maybe use it for my twelve gage shotgun since I only for now will have a 0.177 rifle cal. I earlier in life used the shotgun for small game so I am turning over a better leaf option, and a Winchester 1250 might be it.But you got to keep the guns clean every now and then.

price of shipping, the shipping costed more than the cleaning kit.

rust is only good if you are recycling it.

This is a great kit for clening both .22 and .177 air guns. If you are worried about the brass connection touching your barrel..put a small piece of shrink wrap for electrical connections over the brass ..heat it to shrink .perfect fit.

Nothing

The included patches are ok for .177 but if you make your own from rags they might be too tight and fit only the .22

Price and quality.

nothing

Brushes, if used with a nonflexable rod.

Rigid four piece rod. The flex rod just doesn't work!!! Junk.

Would never have wasted my money, had I known how useless the flex rod is.

Package is great for easy storage and works great

Nothing

Just take your time and clean your gun offen to maintain it's shooting reliability.

The universal handle which doubles as a screw driver etc., the sturdy cable for pushing a cleqning pellet through.

Nothing.

Air guns need to be cleaned from the breech, my RWS 48 needs this kit because a rod just won't work. Quality product for a good price too.

Nice an compact with case

Would primarily use it in the field.

Nice compact kit that does the job. I bought several for relatives as well.

An instruction sheet would be helpful. The flex rod is awkward until you get used to it.

This little kit has everything you need to keep your airgun working smoothly.

Nothing

This is all you need to get started with your new gun.

Great value for the money, good quality tools and workmanship

Doen't come with any instructions or manual, and is little disconcerting at first.

The multiple tool is extremely usefull.
