Zen Bundles Zen Pipe Cleaners Hard Bristle, 132 Count (Pack of 3),Yellow

Works as expected, at a reasonable cost. Can't really ask for more.

Let me get this out of the way to start with: these are literal pipe cleaners. For cleaning pipes. Don't buy them for your baby to play with then give a one star review because you didn't pay attention to what you were buying. They're pretty much the same as other pipe cleaners I have had, except for the extra-stiff bristles mixed in among the fuzz. I don't know what some people are talking about, saying these spikey hairs are dangerous. I pinched the pipe cleaner as hard as I could and it didn't break the skin or even hurt much. It's like touching a brillo pad more than touching a rose stem. There's definitely a scratchiness but it's not harmful. Perhaps those who got cut encountered a staple in their packaging? Anyway these bristles help scrub and lift grime so your gross chore of cleaning tar out of a small hole goes by faster and with less effort. They are an excellent addition. I wouldn't mind a bit thicker, stiffer wire. You can't form one into a hook or corkscrew to scrub a hard to reach spot. Think twist tie more than paper clip. But that's not a flaw of the brand, that seems to be the norm. I've never seen the extra stiff type that I would like to try. I also wish the fuzz was a bit more thick, but again, these are no skinnier than any others I have found. The fuzz does suck both water and oil in very readily. Like any I have tried. I think a pipecleaner's a pipecleaner's a pipecleaner, really. These are nothing special, except for having a few bristles among the fuzz. Aside from wiping out my pipe I use them for sanitizing my hummingbird feeders. It is very important to keep those clean because hummingbirds can die if they get food poisoning. I scrub mine down twice a week with a paste of baking soda and nontoxic unscented dish soap, but recently I noticed a hint of grey inside the holes of the fake flowers, where the scrub brush and abrasive paste can't reach. I assume that's mold starting, or maybe beak grime? At any rate gotta get it clean! Enter these bad boys. Perfect fit, not too snug at all but fat enough that the fuzz cleans the hole with no effort at all. I doubt it needs it every time I wash the feeder but I think I'll use one of these about once a month and then I won't have to worry I am sickening any little birdie friends!

I use these for my gun bench. They work very well for reaching into spots a brush can't, If they were longer, you could use them to clean gas tubes on some rifles.

Copper and cotton so good for cleaning tight spots; however, in my pipe it leaves some cotton fibers behind. So minus one star for tobacco pipes.

These are great for my Pax. They really do a fine job helping with the cleaning.

These pipe cleaners are so good. They work really well and are strong & durable. They have nice hard bristles and really get through. They are the perfect size. A good value for the money.

These are great. They remove all sorts of gunk from my pipe. Affordable and well made. A+

Not fat enough to clean well and the bristles are actually painful to use. You do get a lot for your money, quantity-wise.

Never tried them till yesterday.....omg these things are great. My pipe has never been so clean since first use. A bit pokey onthe hands but worth it.

Good quality brushes.

Product was advertised as pack of 3. But I only received 1 pack.

Excelente producto.

Best pipe cleaners for actually cleaning. The bristles work well. Not for crafts as the bristles are quite sharp
