- Dave Andress shows you how to use the Hoppe's Boresnake and explains why the world's quickest, three-step bore shine has no equal.
The Hoppe's Boresnake is the fastest bore cleaner on the planet. One pass loosens large particles, scrubs out the remaining residue with a bronze brush then swabs it all spotless with a cleaning area 160x larger that a standard patch.
Add a few drops of Hoppe's No. 9 Lubricating Oil or Hoppe's Elite & your gun's ready for storage.
Available for rifles, shotguns and pistols.
Please see our website for more information on Hoppe’s Products: www.hoppes.com/

A bit of solvent on the front of the snake ahead of the bristles, a couple of passes to get the big stuff then let it soak for a couple minutes, then apply some gun oil near the back of the snake just ahead of the large drying portion to leave a thin film of oil inside the barrel, a final pass, and you're good to go. Works for me, it's a good field cleaning until I can get home and take it apart.
Just purchased your product for my .308. I'm floored at how effective and simple to use the Boresnake is. My favorite firearm related purchase of the year. I'll be getting another for my 12 gauge on Monday.
I own 4 Boresnakes after discovering them in 2012. When properly used , the dirt and powder grime does not contaminate the receiver. I use Klean bore patches , cotton patches , Hoppes solvent , and Rem Oil spray. I love to clean my cowboy revolvers and oil the stripped no finish grips !!!!
why did you record this in such low resolution? Very poor video on the eye.
Just wanted to let you know that i picked up your boresnake for my browning xbolt rifle and had fantastic results! looked at the before and after and man ive never seen the bore shine so well. gonna go back to the store and pick up one for my 12g, .22 rimfire and my coyote .22-250! great product guys and thank you for your great video on how to use it properly.
I wanted a thorough how to video, not a sales pitch. I already own the dang thing!
Agreed. 20 seconds of useful information in a 6:30 video. Drop the brass weight from the receiver end. Pull from the barrel end.

Whatbdo you put on the bore snake to clean the bore ?
I always put some cleaning oil on the front of the snake and pull it thru. Probably leaves just enough of a micro film to protect the metal
After shooting my Mosin-Nagant, I hate cleaning the corrosive ammo afterwards. I saw this and thought "What the Hell?" so I bought it. After one swipe the Mosin's bore is shiny like new. In my opinion, I wouldn't buy another one of these products, though. I would buy 5 or 6 :)
who the fuck sees a gun cleaning video and thinks "What the hell?". And I thought Hoppe's shouldn't have to post fake comments themselves or by proxy, but whatever.
It is a good cleaner though, but you wouldn't need 5 or 6 unless you ordered about 3 mosin crates.
@@watchcloak unless he's already has more guns or wants some for spares
been using mine for years and still holds up though i upgraded to the viper recently and it works even better.like anything in life if you take care of it it'll last that much longer
Do you squirt on some bore cleaner on it.? Before running it through the Barrel,? Or not.?
Seems like the video is 10 FPS from 1980 but I do love my Bore Snakes.
And now I know how to pronounce this damn company's name. I have a gallon of the stuff sitting around my house and I never knew until now. Now all I need to know is how to pronounce Rippetoe.
Jordan Gecik just say Coach Rip.
Just used a new snake on my xt-22. Love it, gonna get a back up, and one for the 12ga. Awesome product. Get one for the table and one for field. You will not regret it.
very true make sure u pull straight out so it don't damage ur crown
It did get invented 40 years ago. The proper way to clean an ak has always been a boot lace.
I’ve watched several TH-cam videos from different people and only one mentioned to put solvent on the first larger part of the bore snake. This helps soften up carbon and copper. This is not mentioned on the package of the bore snake I just purchased either.
I love this video way more than the new one. This one is way more informative, and it’s got more heart
There is a hard "knot" right after the brass brush, I will put some bore solvent on there if it's really dirty. I usually pull it through three times, on the last pull, put oil on the tail. Especially if you are not going to use the gun in a while.
No excuse to not have video in HD in 2012, let alone 240p!
Just FYI this is not an actual snake. Was very disappointed when finding this out. Thought I was buying a companion that I could take care of. Turns out it's just a stupid rope.
Favorite commemt
it will work. i have the .22 bore snake for me .223/.556 . the initial pull through is very tight but you have to pull very hard. after the first pass it will pull through the bore no problem.
I'd figure you put the cleaner at the beginning or middle of the snake. The video shows the bit of oil to keep it lubricated/protected goes toward the end of the snake. As far as washing it, I'm not sure about water touching the brass parts, but I would hand-wash it in a small bowl with warm water.
Please just show us how to do it . When I ask someone what time it is I don't want to know how a watch is made . too much talk!
They are great. I buy only from you all. I have them for all the pistols and rifles and shotguns
Im a happy man. Browning blr. Cannot remove bolt. Now its easy to clean .
I had no idea there were so many scientists on yo ut ube. Cheers!
That was a great presentation Sir !! Spot on!!
Works great on my l948 Marlin 336RC. Just so easy.
Great product! I don't worry about messing up the rifling using this!
Thanks for posting... it clarifies how to use the boresnake.
Honestly I thought at 3:00 he'd point the gun to the camera to show how clean it was. Would have been funny.
At the range, to get out powder residue these are OK. But I suggest that after you've used it for the first time, try running a standard cleaning rod with a clean patch down the bore. You'll likely be amazed at how much residue you get out. The only thing I use these for anymore is to clean out powder residue at the range. I always clean with a rod once I get home, and find that I still run multiple brush strokes, wet patches and clean patches before the bore is actually clean. If you're precision shooting, do not think a bore snake will clean your rifle or pistol sufficiently. And certainly don't use these exclusively; you'll end up with a horribly fouled bore.
I love the product. I own several Bore Snakes in different calibers. But you have to admit they could have done a better you on this video.
OK, thanks for the tip... I'll work harder at it next time!
Question: The bore snake works quite well, but there's a chemical odor to it, and the package states that it contains a chemical known to cause cancer. What is that chemical and should one wear gloves when using the bore snake?
It seems like the boresnake needs to do its job on a single pass. Is that correct? If you run it through a 2nd-3rd time then you're pulling a dirty snake through your bore. I only shoot about 100 rounds per range trip and so my semi-auto pistol isn't going to get too fouled. Is the boresnake the best bet for me?
finally fined a video with hopes
I have 1 for .40 cal pistol and 12 ga. Great for the gun club!
Why is everyone hating on carbon? It's in the gunpowder! and it is the basic building block of all humans :D
Ive been saying "hops" all these years..... Ive been wrong... All wrong
do you always use the bore snake dry?
thank you but do you put any oil or anything
Can you put hoppes #9 on the end were he put the oil thn run it trough a shotgun barrel.?
Uploaded straight from a VHS
Dumb question:
How do you recommend I clean the boresnake itself?
Awesome tool btw
this product is amazing
what about applying cleaner when you first run the boresnake through to scrub the barrel?
I have a near new su 16 and cz512 neither of which will pull through the barrel without tearing the guide string off.Have used product before with no issues,makes no sense what so ever.
Try a video on the .17 never struggled so much in my life
I have one in .22 for the ar 15 and yes you have to own an ox to pull it through the barrel. It's as if it's just too fat for the bore.
What about afterwards oiling the inside of bore? I wouldn't think you'd want to use the same dirty snake. Do you you a cleaning rod with patches or have another snake just for oiling?
Should you oil the bore snake or run it through dry?
CLR before the brush and a tad bit of oil at the end makes her all shiny BUT then you got the bolt carrier and all the goodies around it to clean too, let’s see that snake clean that !! JK I love my Bore Snake !!
So its fast and effective and works great, but still not good enough to replace running patches through the bore? Or its better than running patches through the bore one at a time?
Don't use any solvent or anything? Just bought one for midsize pistols, the copper bristles got stuck in the tip of the barrel of a .380, almost couldn't pull it out. Less than an inch in the barrel, wouldn't begin to pull all the way through.
Sorry Sir, I’m not convinced. I rather use brushes with patches a few times especially if the shotgun has been sitting for some time. I believe my old method will even remove surface rust if any. I think you representing the company and product left me asking questions.
Just bought an M4 Carbine. It's chrome-lined. Will the brass bristles embedded in the cloth, be too abrasive? First time rifle owner. Learning as I go, like I did with my 1st manual drive transmission. Lol, good times!
I bought one for my lever action 22. saves a lot of time not having to tear completely apart every time to clean it. the only have one problem with it. The 22 bore is about the same diameter as the pull string. I really have to stretch the crap out of it to get it to feed. a heavier weight would help
hold the gun down and slowly feed it through the bolt of the gun
and make sure u pull straight out don't go to the side pull straight out
+Allen Stewart They sent me a replacement. The pull string was to thick. The replacement works great
+Anthony Aubuchon OK good they work great just make sure u have it straight when ur pulling it through
+Allen Stewart Yes, I do. Thank you. The only advise I would give to anyone, is when wrapping, or rolling it up for storage after use. make sure the brass is covered by the snake before wrapping the pull cord around it. are you will get the brass wires embedded in the pull cord, which will embed in your finger
I used this on my 12G barrel but I took the chokes out, is that ok or should I leave them in?
Leave the chokes in. The threads on the shotgun for your chokes are very fine, and will accumulate fouling very quickly. You will create a whole new cleaning headache by taking your chokes out. IMHO.
@@danf5580 ok thanks.
Is that a Boresnake in your pocket or are you just happy to see me ?
throw it in the was with towels. I don't machine dry it but I bet it wouldn't hurt it
I seen videos where people apply Hoppes number 9 . Would this be a good strategy . Hoppes number 9 at the front of the snake and oil at the end ?
yes it’s intended that way that’s how I do it I put it right at the front and the oil at end
So the bronze brush in the BoreSnake is harmless to any barrel? How about the barrel of an older rifle, like a antique Winchester Model 92 rifle? Still okay to use without worry? Thanks!
Wait wait wait it’s “HOP-PEEZ?!”
Is it washable?
Do not use the .17 hmr boresnake in the .17 wsm. It will get stuck and I’m hoping Savage or my gunsmith can get it out.
can the bore snake be toss into the washing machine after several use or is this a throw away product after several months?
Are you supposed to apply solvent to the snake at the end of the leader so the brush can loosen the fouling followed by the floss and finishing pull with oiled end pulled through last?
very nice man
indeed a awesome invention gets all that nasty stuff out
How does one clean the boresnake once it's fouled/dirty?
Higher resolution please.
Dave, I recently purchased a Boresnake for my 5.56/.223 and upon using it as directed, could not pull it through the barrel. My supplier sold me one to fit a .22 rifle, so the Boresnake should have done the job on my 5.56, right? However, it wasn't just a little tight - but too tight to pull through. Any ideas as to the problem?
Cual es la vida util estimada? Gracias y saludos
What do you use to clean the bore snake?
+Natty Bumppo Just picked one up. Dealer said to toss in the washing machine, then hang dry. We'll see.
soap and water and dry it off with a hair dryer don't put it in the dryer
Can wash it in some Detergent in the sink.? Or throw it into the Washing machine etc.? That should do it.?
They didn't pay an actor to do this, he's a "host" for Hoppe's. They also most likely didn't pay for a professional script writer, looks like they also used a cheap hand held video cam. Low budget doesn't equal quality viewing, they made their point on their product, that's all they wanted to achieve.
I also own 5 different caliber bore snakes, haven't found a problem with any of them yet.
I apply Hoppe's gun bore cleaner on to the end of the bore snake and run it through the bore. Why do I keep seeing videos of people lubricating the bore/barrel after cleaning the barrel/bore with bore cleaner? That makes honestly zero sense as applying lubricant to the barrel of my ar15 will cause an extreme amount of fouling to stick to the barrel due to the lubricant. Someone please explain?
Most rifles do not eat their own shit and a very thin layer of oil in the bore prevents corrosion and does not attract significant fouling.
my .22 snake doesn't fit down my .22. the end seems WAY too big to go through
cool story bro
You did not use the Boresnake as instructed by the manufacturer. AND, why would you clean your rifle after 20 rds? For the M16/AR15 platform , at least, cleaning is not necessary for hundreds of rounds. You didn't mention what rifle or shotgun you were cleaning.
used these before with no problems but just bought a .17 for hmr and it got stuck. 🤨
How do l remove the bronze brush from the bore snake.Dean
I think he forgot the part about putting some cleaner on the snake before running it through the barrel. I'll confess, at first I thought it was bullshit that he only pulled the snake thru the barrel one time, but other "non biased" users also claim it's all it takes. One time through. But, the other users did apply cleaner to the bristle area of the snake first.
I did it on multiple passes because I'm paranoid. Worked even better. Instructions say how ever many passes you need.
Do you even lift?
Can you use a pistol bore snake on a rifle
I have three 30 calibre rifles, Do I need the exact bore snake calibre to clean each one, Can a 30-30 bore snake clean a 30-06 ?
Regal Bowman no .308 7.62 and .30 all take same one.
Paid $16 at Walmart for your boresnake only to have the string break with it completely in the barrel of my 870 literally the 2nd time I ever used it. What a piece of shit
They break off in the .22-5.56 size !
lol. Don't believe the people who refute it, Walmart absolutely 100% sells the same products made with lesser quality. Me and my one cousin both coincidentally bought the exact same orange hunting vests, same brand, same little embroidered logo in the same spot, me from gander mountain/he from walmart, and the back of his ripped open getting snagged on a thorn bush the second time he wore it, I have the same one still with no more than aesthetic damage.
Your evidence against Walmart is this one instance? Bad argument.
So when the boresnake gets dirty, you can machine wash it?
Yea, you can machine wash it. Just put in a little mesh bag. Or, you can just hand wash it
kEEGAN Edwards Just soap and water I assume??
Real avid boar snakes are much better although I do still own a handful of Hoppy
This is why I only shoot rail guns.
lol
Uggh! Bore snakes....
I like the concept, but not the reality of them. I prefer to only use CLEAN patches, and be able to choose when I use a brush or not.
Sure, someone might say....."well, you can clean a boresnake."
Yeah, totally defeats the purpose of ease and convenience if you have to clean your boresnake on top of cleaning your gun!
Cuts down on time on rifle, not mess. Ran these through 4 times on my rifle. Rifle cleaned.
did he just clean a clean shotgun?
onenikkione Hence the term, demonstration.
I was wondering the same thing
This invention agrees with my politics
How do you clean the bore snake itself? Warm water, soap, etc??
yes and use a hair dryer to dry it
i just bought 2 16 gauge boresnakes how long do they last
I have had good results with pistol gun snakes. BUT!! The 12 gauge Hoppes gun snake WON'T go through. I pulled it as hard as i could, wouldn't go thru. Then, I had a hell of a time trying to back it out. Wasted money and effort. I seriously can't recommend the 12 gauge boresnake.
Don’t need a history lesson
Bought a brand new POF Renegade plus. And a boresnake viper (guess its new version) applied cleaner and oil to the proper parts of snake went to pull thru almost IMMEDIATLY the fuckin thing was stuck I wrapped around my hand multiple times started pulling again SNAP!!!! Now I got your stupid ass bore snake broke in my 2000 gun I'm going on BBB
jusgoonin how'd that work out for Ya?
I just tested a bore snake and was not impressed. I took my clean rifle and fired only 20 rounds. Then to clean it I put a good amount of break free on the first cloth area before the brush as i was instructed by the gun store guys, and ran it through slowly 5 times. Then I ran a cleaning rod through to check it with a clean white patch cloth. It came out dirty. I then gave up on the gimmick I just wasted $15 on, and cleaned it the normal way. I call bullshit, one time through wouldn't ever work
The Boresnake is great but this infomercial is pretty cheesy.
I agree with Josh Apple, great snake, lousy ad.
Yeah. He really doesn't need to keep telling us how great it is. Just show us how to use it and shut up. Lol
