The Kleenbore 3-Piece Aluminum Shotgun Cleaning Rod is a portable maintenance tool engineered for thorough shotgun bore care. Built with an assembled working length of 32 inches (~81.3 cm), this breakdown rod allows shooters to clear plastic wad residue, lead fouling, and powder deposits from shotgun barrels at the range or in the field. It features durable, large-diameter aluminum sections paired with an ergonomic polymer T-handle to deliver positive leverage when pushing patches, mops, and bronze brushes through heavy fouling. When disassembled, the entire kit packs down to approximately 12.60 inches inside an included reusable vinyl pouch for compact storage in range bags and gun slips.

  • Modular 3-Piece Design: Breaks down to approximately 12.60 inches for easy transport in field kits and gun cases.
  • Fixed Ergonomic T-Handle: Durable polymer construction ensures a firm, non-slip grip and straight pushing power through heavily fouled bores.

Who is the Kleenbore 3-Piece Aluminum Shotgun Cleaning Rod 32" for?

  • Australian clay target shooters — requires a lightweight 0.35 lb 3-piece shotgun cleaning rod that packs down to 12.60 inches to fit inside range bags for fast bore swab-outs between competition rounds.
  • Waterfowl hunters — relies on the 32 inches assembled length to push patches through standard field barrels up to 30–32 inches to clear moisture, mud, and plastic wad fouling in remote environments.
  • Primary producers maintaining working shotguns — needs a durable aluminum rod utilizing standard 5/16"-27 shotgun threads to quickly service 12-gauge farm utility shotguns without carrying bulky workshop kits.

Less suitable for: Shotguns with barrels exceeding 32 inches (or long-barrel trap shotguns fitted with extended choke tubes), which require longer 34" to 36" solid one-piece cleaning rods; and cleaning standard .22 to .45 calibre rifles or pistols, which require narrower rods with #8-32 threads.
