10 Best Gun Cleaning Kits (Review) In 2021

Our top pick of the best gun cleaning kits is the Gloryfire Universal Gun Cleaning Kit. Included in this mammoth set is everything you could need for whatever firearm you own, and it’s ideal for those with multiple guns used for hunting, target practice, or self-defense. You get 3 solid brass rods for 17-270 caliber rifles, and an additional 3 rods for 30 caliber rifles, pistols and shotguns. Also included is space for cleaning oil and solvent and brushes, mops, and spear-pointed jags. You’ll also get cleaning patches and polishing cloths to ensure total care and maintenance.

The case itself is durable, constructed using heavy-duty materials to ensure longevity. Despite the contents, it’s easily portable and provides an easy organization solution. This organization is made even easier with molded size labels, so you can find whichever parts you need in an instant.

We always love to include a premium choice, and that’s no different in our selection of gun cleaning kits. The Otis All Caliber Elite Range Box with Universal Gun Cleaner Gear takes the crown this time, and with just a single glance you’ll understand why.

It’s suitable for a wide variety of firearms, and it comes complete with 16 bore brushes and a 5.56mm BONE tool to quickly and efficiently clean the bolt, bolt carrier, and firing pin. The cotton brushes also clean all rifles, pistol, and shotgun muzzleloaders, and this makes up just some of the 60 components you’ll get. The box also doubles as a gun vice and work surface so you can clean your firearm wherever you are. Inside, it’s spacious and has a removable shelf for an excellent organization to ensure simplicity whether you’re at the shooting range or deep in the wilderness.

Our third pick is the Iunio Universal Gun Cleaning Kit which is suitable for all guns (as the universal name suggests) and is available in 3 types, including a Standard and Upgraded option, which you can choose depending on your needs. With it, you get the expected gun cleaning rods plus all necessary accessories, and there are also 2 empty oil bottles for you to fill with your preferred cleaning agent. The molded interior keeps the parts secure, and the case has a rough ‘n’ ready durable feel to it that you can rely on.

To make your cleaning adventures a little easier, there’s also a gun cleaning mat that prevents any oil spillages, especially if you like to clean your firearms while watching Netflix. When you’re not using it, the buckles keep everything secure and lock in place so you won’t lose any pieces while on the move. This product also makes a great Christmas gift for those who have a decent collection of handguns. 

The Hoppe’s No. 9 Deluxe Gun Cleaning Kit is a stylish and sophisticated option that comes in a heavy-duty wooden box that makes it clear you’re a guy who cares about properly maintaining his firearm. It may not boast the versatility of other options, but if you’re looking for a smart on-the-go pick, this could be the one for you.

Inside, you get universal cleaning options including lubricating oil, silicone cleaning cloth and 3-piece brass roads suitable for most guns, but you’ll need to double-check before purchasing. It also comes with a helpful Care Guide, which is ideal for those who have only just purchased their first firearm, and the stylish construction and design makes it a perfect birthday, Christmas, or even graduation gift for the budding enthusiast in your life, even if that person is you.

The Spika Compact Shotgun Cleaning Kit is suitable not just for shotguns, and there are two other options to choose from, which makes it attractive to pistol and handgun owners as much as it would be anyone with a shotgun. While this is not exactly universal, it covers enough for you to get plenty of use out of it. The set contains multifunctional tools that can fix a variety of gun-cleaning issues to ensure consistency and quality performance. The small parts make it a compact case that’s easy to carry while still being easy to use.

Where it excels, though, is how you can combine the tools, which means you can recycle the kit multiple times, demonstrating excellent value for money. You get all the necessary cleaning parts, and these are constructed with care and attention to ensure a quality experience that guarantees safety while cleaning and using.

This Ohuhu Universal Gun Cleaning Kit is another comprehensive option, boasting 28 pieces to provide everything a gun owner could need when working to maintain their firearm. The universal application ensures it appeals to everybody, but it’s not a case of quantity over quality, and each piece is carefully designed to ensure satisfying results.

The case and the parts are durable, and the inner parts diagram makes organization a breeze, even if you’re not entirely sure what you’re doing at first (don’t worry, we’ve all been there). The grab-and-go case design also makes it superb for hunting destinations and traveling, and with a sleek silver design, you’ll look something like a spy on his way to complete an International mission. It’s a little more expensive than other options we’ve chosen, but this is a reflection of its quality, and after just one cleaning session, you’ll realize it was well worth the money.

Sometimes, though, you don’t need a comprehensive cleaning kit, and for those times, the Gloryfire Gun Cleaning Kit is a fantastic choice that boasts quality and easy portability that guarantees convenience and dependability whenever you need it.

Despite its compact size, it’s still an 18-piece set, but even with these 18 pieces, it will slide easily into your pocket or travel backpack so you can carry discreetly without the need to lug a leavy case around with you. As for organization, the foam insert keeps everything in its place so you can grab whatever you need without even looking, and this also ensures the parts stay protected on a bumpy ride. The size labels enhance this organization, while the parts themselves are precise to guarantee superb cleaning that is swift and efficient. It’s perfect to take to the range and also useful as a backup for long treks through the wilderness.

If small kits are not suitable for you, or you just want to ensure you have everything you need regardless of the situation, the Allen Company Tactical Gun/Rifle Cleaning Kit is ideal. This durable tool box boasts multiple shelves for easy organization while also offering enough space to store additional bits and pieces. It’s suitable for a variety of firearms, too, and these include 12 and 20 gauge shotguns, as well as tactical rifles.

There are labeled slots for the straightforward organization, but once you use it enough times you won’t need them. Altogether, there are 66 pieces, which is more than enough to guarantee well-maintained firearms, but it’s always nice to have backups and replacements should you need them. The secure lid clamps ensure safety and security, and it will also stay closed and locked while carrying it. The cleaning chemicals are not included, but most gun owners will already have a supply of that at home. And if you don’t, you really should.

The Marksman Precision Universal Gun Cleaning Kit is another modern-style option for the modern, um, marksman. The plastic case is lightweight and portable but also durable, and the design speaks for itself. Inside, the molded plastic prevents parts rattling when on the move, and these parts can cover a wide range of gun cleaning demands.

The brass rods stand out the most, as they are suitable for all gun types, making this a kit that boasts superb value. They are also as durable as they are effective, which ensures speedy but reliable cleaning that guarantees excellent firing performance. Each piece is easy to use, and you can also customize the patch sizes to best suit your firearm. We also love the LED bore light, which adds another dimension to your cleaning activities and prevents any missed dirt or leads build-up to guarantee perfection with every session.

Our final pick of the best gun cleaning kits is our choice for the best value, too. The Boosteady Universal Handgun Cleaning Kit is a 16 piece set that includes a wide range of tools to appeal to all handgun owners. Most clear is the 10.5” handgun cleaning rod, but this is not the only thing to celebrate. The stainless steel cleaning picks are high quality, also, while the nylon brush gets into parts of the firearm that lesser options may struggle with.

The kit is also compact, so it can fit in your backpack easily without bulking it out and taking up too much space. The zipper is secure, which mimics the foam insert that protects the parts from shock should you drop it while showing it off to your friends and family.
