USGI combo tool with chamber brush to clean the chamber, after running the brush in chamber wrap a patch around it and wipe clean.

It's actually a pretty cool idea. Just over-priced. Make it under $20 or even $15 and they would sell them.

I'd be inclined to go with an M3A1 combination tool, myself. You get a chamber brush, a screwdriver to fit the Garand's screws, and a bolt disassembly tool. They're available from a number of places:

Firearm Parts and Accessories | Numrich Gun Parts Corp. | e-GunParts.com

Fulton Armory Home Page

...are two I found with a quick "Google" search. In both of these cases, do a site search for "M3A1 Cleaning Tool."

Bill Ricca has a lot to say 'bout these tools at

Made my own long ago out of a 1/4" socket set flexi drive (plastic coated) with one end turned down & threaded to take my brushes & jags. Fits in my battery screwdriver, cos I'm a lazy sob.

Most handy guys could knock one up even if you have to solder in a cleaning brush onto a socket and they'd still be half price. Available at almost any auto tool store.

This flexible chamber tool is made by Hoppe's. It takes all sizes of brush, swab, etc.

I guess I'm just more particular than the average Joe when it comes to my Garand. I like the GGG one because it has a sturdy swivel and is made only for using patches after the chamber brush has been used. It is made to tolerance so that there is a tight fit with the patch to make sure that the chamber is clean and free of any residue. Well worth $23 if I consider how much I spend for a weapon or optics. Point made.

I have the M3 tool (patch tip) as well as the M3A1 and they get the job done well. I have to admit, though, the long handle tool in question looks good, though a bit pricey. It gave me an idea to tinker with.
