I've seen other squeegees, but I have no idea what the names were....
Marker Setup:
Custom Pro Basic (drop forward, double trigger, 11" Werks barrel)
HPA 50 ci Worrgame Tank
Strengths:
CHEAP!!!
Efficiency
Neat " tie itself together" feature
Easy to clean
Tough
Did I mention cheap?
Weaknesses:
Color
not a swab (if you like swabs)
Review:
Ok, for 3$ this is the best.
It cleans great: after passing it through my barrel, there is nothing left. It can tie itself together so you can put it on your belt, your pack, around your neck, whatever! After cleaning your barrel, you just need to pass some water on it (the sqeegee!), give a few whips and it's ready for more. In the beginning, I thought it would break or tear easily, this is not the case: the rubber is very strong and will withstand a lot of abuse
Now, if you do not like the color orange and you prefer swabs, then you might not like this squeegee!
Edit 9/11/11: Hey you know what? I still have the squeegee. It's still in one piece. Best. 3$. Ever.
Conclusion:
For three dollars, it rules!

Cheap
Can attach to belt
Cleans and is easy to clean
Weaknesses:
None
Review:
This thing is great. It is like 3.49 at actionvillage. Better than $5 swabs that fall apart all the time. Just run it through, and youre good till you completely clean it at home. if it is a really bad break, after one run through just wipe it off on your shirt or somthing. I love it.
Conclusion:
Great, the best I have found.

This squeegee is great. It is cheap, works great, and you can even use it without taking your barrel off (for those flatline owners). It gets all of the pieces of the shell and all of the paint out in one swipe and can be cleaned off in the sink or with a garden hose. If you did that with a lot of other squeegees with fabric swabs at the ends, and then use it immediately after wards, it gets water all inside of you barrel. It even has a cool little feature where you can put the end of the squeegee into the top and create a loop that can even be put around your neck. If you don't want to do that you can easily slip it into a pocket. The only drawback I have found is that when playing in the woods the orange color is a little out of place, but this should not keep you from getting one
Conclusion:
This is a great squeegee for any player. I highly recomend getting one.
I've seen some other ones but I couldn't tell you there names
Marker Setup:
Spyder Imagine 04 - Green
- 32 Degrees Spyder Spring Kit
- Stock Spyder Rodeo Barrel
- Trinity Spyder T-Lock Feed Neck

- PMI Pure Energy Tank Cover - 68ci - Red
Strengths:
- It's not very expensive
- Can be put in pocket because it bends
- Works great
Weaknesses:
Haven't found any weaknesses
Review:
This is the squegee I have been using since I started playing paintball. It's made out of rubber which is great because then it fits in your pocket so I just carry it with me into the games in case of a barrel break. Also it's not very expensive it says $4.00 on here but I think I might have got for a little less...but either way it's cheap! Plus since it rubber it's easy to clean off compared to some other ones I have seen, you can just wipe it off on your shirt or a paper towel or somthing after using it. Plus since it has 5 little circular cleaner thingys (I know very descriptive) it cleans very well!
Conclusion:
A great barrel squeegee that can fit in your pocket! If you need a barrel squeegee this ones great!

Review:
I bought this at one of my local paintball shops on a whim. i have the redz battle swab(great) bu i needed something more because if you have two ball breaks the redz swab will soak up a bit too much paint :(. i bout it for 3.99 and have been really happy with results. if i in the middle of a match and i have time, i swab up some paint then run this bad boy through. it takes out whatever paint was left plus the little fuzzies which occasionally are dropped off by the swab. some of my friends do it the opposite way, but it works great for me
Conclusion:
Definitely get this. it is really durable (same on for 3 months and its really easy fitting none of this tugging and . ive had NO problems with it at all.
VL Triton II
-12" Carbon-fiber barrel
-Custom paint job
Strengths:
Light
Strong
Easily cleaned
Cleans all bores
Weaknesses:
Hard to pull through
Hard to grip
Bright colors
Review:
I picked up this squeegee because I was tired of using disposable Viewloader cotton swabs to clean my gun. This was a good buy and hasn't let me down yet.
Function:
This works better than any squeegee I've used before and fits my small bore Triton as well as my medium-large Cocker barrel. When I do chop, which isn't often, it works very well to clean the bore and leaves a mirror finish on the inside. It is a little messy once it's used, but if you carry a rag with you, you can put it back in your pocket. It is a little hard to pull through the barrel, so you'd better have a good position and a buddy giving you covering fire, otherwise you won't be able to put your gun back together in time to defend yourself.
Affordabililty:
Very cheap, $4 or so, so it is a very good buy for a back player or a mid player.
Conclusion:
Front or tape runners may want something that you can rip through the bore quickly and be ready to fight in seconds. This is a good, sturdy product, and can be clipped to vests, packs, or harnesses, as well as being stuck in pockets. Great product!

DOES WHAT IT SHOULD!!!
Weaknesses:
Uhh, none.
Review:
Does what a squeegee should do. I bought it at Splatbrothers at a booth for the 26 hour Day of the Immortals Scenario. IT worked GREAT. I love the tabs for cleaning out your porting. And, you can connect it and wear it like a necklace, or it connects together.
Conclusion:
Does what a squeegee should, for a great price and nice looks too.
Viewloader Charger
Smart Parts Progressive 14 inch barrel
Soon to get an electric hopper
Pretty much a stock gun accept for my beautiful barrel
Strengths:
Cleans in one swipe
Strong
Five Disks
Can be made into loop
Cheapish
Weaknesses:
Barrel porting can put wear and tear on cleaning disks, like all squeegees.
Review:
I picked this up at Heartland Paintball in Winnipeg for like $6, and it looked like a quality squeegee. Five cleaning disks clean the barrel out in one swipe. The ends can be connected so that you can wear it as a necklace or loop it around your belt(Very Handy). It is bright orange so it will be easier to find if it gets lost. The cleaning disks do wear if you have sharp porting on your barrel but what squeegee doesn't. It is very strong it isn't a flimsy squeegee so you don't have to worry about breaking this one. It hasn't scratched my barrel and I don't think it will so I am very pleased with this squeegee.
Conclusion:
If you see this squeegee in stores then you should pick it up, the price is cheap but the product isn't, and I think it is the best squeegee I have ever used, so definetly go consider picking one up.

Review:
Got this squeegee at badlands after using paper towel and a drumstick (which i might add works great)
For only 3 dollars you can't go wrong, every player should have a good squeegee in his gear bag. This one works great all the time, the only problem I found is that I have to remove my barrel to use it, which in the middle of the game can be a little bit of a hassle.
I have found no problems with this so far, and i expect none to arise. Its easy to use, easy to clean and can be made into a loop which can let you put it around belt loops etc.
To clean, just run a little bit of water over it and swing it around or hit it agianst your leg/boot and your good to go again.
Couple this squeegee with a swab that can be used during a game without removing your barrel and your good to go.
-Flexible
-Rubber
-Cleans completely 99% of the time
Weaknesses:
-Neon orange colour
Review:
I received this squeegee in my Tippmann A-5 package over a year ago. I have had no trouble with it what so ever. As I stated in the Strengths section it is flexible and can be stored ether in your pocket or wraped around a body part with its interlocking feature. It is rubber which is the only type of squeegee recommended for carbon fiber barrels and eliminates the risk of possibly breaking it. And thirdly for the time that I have owned this squeegee I have never had to send it through the barrel more than once in a ball break situation. As stated in the Weakness section the only one I can think of is the fact that it is made in only one colour, neon orange. This is bad for obvious reasons.
Conclusion:
I would fully recommend this squeegee to anyone. They are way better than a standard cloth squeegee. Ill be buying these for the rest of my days.
