Using RamRodz for the first time will change your outlook on firearm cleaning. Simplistic, yet incredibly effective and efficient, there simply is no better way than RamRodz.
Patches

Everyone is familiar with the tedious nature of using patches.They’re slow, messy, and typically ineffective when compared to the results you will receive with RamRodz, which actually EXPAND into the rifling grooves to remove fouling. When RamRodz are run down the barrel, you will notice an even, deep black mark all around the cotton head,
indicating the fouling removed from the grooves. If you watch a patch closely, the edges of the cotton fold back as it runs down the bore and do not get pushed up into the rifling grooves. A patch will leave uneven streak marks indicating less surface area has been cleaned. You can imagine how many more passes a patch will take to achieve the same amount of cleaning as Ramrodz.
Snakes and Other Washable Products
These products can be great for a quick field clean and certainly have their place in the market. However, when compared side by side, you’ll find that RamRodz clean the rifling grooves much more thoroughly. 
They are also disposable, so rather than washing and reusing a tool multiple times, you start with a pristine product and assess the cleanliness of the bore by observing the debris marks on the swab as it exits the muzzle. Furthermore, RamRodz can be used to clean ALL gun components, not just the barrel.
Cost Benefit
Everyone knows that patches are the cheapest way to clean a gun, right? Actually, this is no longer the case. On average, RamRodz are more cost effective than any comparable products on the market. An individual RamRodz only costs a penny more than a patch. However, considering it takes roughly three times as many patches to match a single RamRodz cleaning, RamRodz are easily the less expensive option.
