It's great that it doesn't have the sharp of the typical bronze bore brushes do, therefore it is not as uncomfortable when tightening the brush down onto the rod (no wires poking your fingertips). More importantly, the brush cleans the bore well. When using a standard wire brush, Spots that had been missed previously get cleaned up well with this.Pros: Cleans greatCons: none

I was skeptical that something as simple as the design of a brush could be improved, but the tornado brush does represent an improvement. By putting more surface area in direct contact with the bore wall, its continuous spiral of edge cleans far more effectively than the individual bristle tips of a conventional brush. Squirt some CLR down your shotgun bore, let it sit for 15 minutes, and then run the tornado through a few times. Finish up with a patch or two to verify that the bore is clean, and you're done.I also understand now how the chances of a tornado brush scratching a shotgun bore are slim to none; all edges on the brush have a big enough radius that it would be impossible for them to scratch the bore. I am not certain I would use one on a rifled bore, but I'm committed to it for all my smoothbores.
