[QUOTE="GMB54, post: 5224071, member: 15365"] Thats a pin vise. The torch tip cleaner is not really needed. A flash hole grows with each shot. Only the channel needs routine cleaning. Never force the rough section of the tip cleaner through your flash hole. Just get a .035-.036 pin gauge for the flash hole. Then you know when its grown too large. You can do the exact same thing with a Wheeler screwdriver set and a hex head drill bit. The big advantage is with the $14-$15 Wheeler kit you can use an extension. So even a rifle like a Knight can be cleaned without removing the plug. Comes in handy on lengthy range sessions when you may need to clean the plug before the barrel. Such as BH209 users. I can shoot all day using BH209 without cleaning the barrel but the flash channel will be filling up with carbon. A hex head bit fits right in one of these handles and i end up needing the other bits anyway at times. The case easily holds a couple drill bits.
