This review is for Otis Elte Universal Gun Cleaning Kit. This is an excellent comprehensive cleaning kit. There are only a few supplies that you may need that aren't already in this kit, depending on what you are cleaning. The first four pictures I attached are of the prior kit version, and the last four pictures are of the new version. Otis recently upgraded the bag and changed the brush cases. The prior version bag was just okay, and the zipper was awful. The new bag can stand up with the front open. This saves you working space and makes it easier to see your supplies. Also, the new bag has more compartments and makes it much easier to store your supplies with more room for additional supplies. I don't know which brush cases I liked more. The prior ones were 2-piece, round, took up just a little less space, held the brush centered in the base (bristles didn't touch the case), and slid into the elastic loops easier. The new cases are 1-piece, rectangular (no chance of rolling off a table), and are easier to see the size number when in the elastic loops (the numbers of the prior round tubes were often covered by the elastic loops). I also really like that these rectangular cases not only list the main caliber in large, visible, writing, but they also list in smaller writing all the calibers they work for. This is super convenient. This kit includes a convenient detachable tactical cleaning kit that you can throw into your bag or attached via MOLLE. Overall, this is one of the best kits out there. An important tip for using the Memory-Flex Cable cleaning system is to follow the directions. Step one is running a wet patch. Step two is running the brush. Step three is running a dry patch. You repeat these steps or the dry patch step as many times as needed to get a clean dry patch. A critical step is to make sure you not only use the right sized patch, but that you use the correct slots of the patch. You set the patch up differently based on the bore size. Not paying attention to this for the patches will cause you get a patch stuck in the barrel. Setting the patch up correctly for the right size is the only thing that has a learning curve to it. Once you get the patch setup correct though, you can use the same patch up to six times. This makes the Otis patch system the most economical one out there. Other than that, this is a good and efficient cleaning kit. I went the entire Otis cleaning system route, so I have this Otis Elite Universal Gun Cleaning Kit and the Otis Ripcord Pack, along with other cleaning accessories. I also have an MTM Case-Gard Rifle Range Box (which is the same box used in the Otis Range Box Universal Gun Cleaning Kit). I keep my bottles of chemicals, towels, and other various cleaning tools in the range box. The few extra cleaning tools I have purchased do fit in the Otis bag though. I just like storing bulk supplies in the MTM range box, and I use its gun forks. I had researched rod vs cord route, and what my research revealed is that you have to be very careful using cleaning rods. The ideal cleaning rod setup is one-piece carbon fiber rods with rotating handles, a bore guide, and a vise. That's a lot of large components to store or possibly travel with and requires a large work area. You should also unscrew the brush or jag after the pass before you remove the rod, and you still have to be careful that when you remove the rod you don't nick the crown. And, if you go the multi-piece rod sets, you have to be extra careful to not scratch or otherwise damage the barrel or crown. Then there is a huge debate on which metal is best of the multi-piece rods. I have a multi-piece rod that I will only use as a last resort if a barrel obstruction were to ever occur. So, ultimately this led me to going Otis Memory-Flex Cables and Otis Ripcords route. They seem to be an easier way of doing arguably the same level of cleaning. You do still need to be careful that you pull the cords/cables straight through and aren't pulling on an angle against the crown of the barrel, but it is very easy to pull the cords/cables through without issue. You also save time since you don't have to remove the brush or slotted tip (for holding patches) after every pass. You can just leave them on since you don't have to pull the cords/cables backwards out like you have to with the rods. Also, the Otis attachments work with both the Memory-Flex Cables and the Ripcords. Otis also offers a weighted obstruction remover for attaching to the Memory-Flex Cables to knock out barrel obstructions, but if that doesn't work you will most likely need to use a cleaning rod to push out the obstruction. Otis has posted a great video talking about the advantages of using a patch being pulled behind a cable versus being pushed by a rod. It was an interesting discussion with some good points. Overall, I am very happy that I went the Otis cleaning system route. On a side note: You get two stacks of 3" patches and one stack of 2" patches. All three stacks are in a single resealable plastic bag. You may want to get a second bag just for the 2" patches. It is a little annoying to have to take out multiple stacks of patches of the one you need is at the bottom of the bag. The smallest brushes and some additional attachments are in the small bag with the microfiber cloths. A plastic case really should have been included for them. I may get a tiny plastic case for them, or I may put them into the accessory case that has the cleaning rods. I also think I am going to make a laminated reference card for the patches. When you use the patches, you need to know which diameter patch to use, which pre-cut slot to use, and where to pinch the patch to make your fold for each of the different calibers. Currently, I find myself having to look this information up each time. For large calibers Otis says to double up the patches. This doesn't mean the second patch is unusable. You can swap the inner and outer patches to use the complete surfaces of both patches for cleaning. Also, they only include a tiny manual with just very minimal information in it. Otis does have some good online videos though, which is where I usually go for information.

The Otis Elite Gun Cleaning Kit is absolutely worth the price. The quality of every tool in this set is outstanding, and it shows the moment you open it. I’ve always been a fan of Otis Technology because their cleaning gear consistently outperforms everything else on the market, and this kit is no exception. The components are durable, well‑designed, and cover just about every firearm you could need to maintain. It’s a complete, high‑end setup that makes cleaning easier and more effective. If you want a premium kit that will last for years, this one is hard to beat.
