Hoppe's, Boresnake® Shotgun with Den and T-Handle, Shotgun Cleaner

The Hoppe’s Boresnake is a one-pass wonder, combining a bronze brush and a thick floss section to scrub carbon fouling and sweep out debris in a single pull. Its 160x larger surface area compared to a standard patch makes it incredibly efficient—I ran it through my shotgun with a few drops of Hoppe’s No. 9, and the barrel went from grimy to gleaming in seconds. The 12-gauge version fits perfectly, with a tight but smooth pull, and users on Amazon praise its effectiveness, with one saying, “Two passes and my barrel looks like new” (web:0). The included Boresnake Den case is a nice touch—a compact, clear plastic container with a T-handle lid that doubles as a pull grip, making it easier to yank through without burning your hand on the cord. It’s machine-washable, reusable, and packs neatly into your range bag alongside gear like the Otis Microfiber Cloths or Lucas Oil Gun Oil.

Boresnake is life 👍🏻

Hoppes is the original boresnake manufacturer, and their quality shows. You could pay less for cheap, no-name snakes, but why bother? I have only had one instance where I snapped a cord on a Hoppes boresnake, but that was out of about seven snakes I own in rifle calibers and shotgun all shotgun gauges and use for over two decades. Buy one for both your bench and your range bag.

20 gauge bore snake. Works great for a quick clean up.

Cleaner than a whistle.

Great product and it cleans my shotgun perfectly every time

Easiest way to clean the barrel!

Boresnake for 20 gas works very well
