Two in a package. 1 straight and the other has a bend in the middle for putting in your pocket and taking it out on the field. Built with a strong lightweight plastic stick with a soft non-pilling fleece swab wrap. It soaks up the paint and is built to last.

Review:
These swabs clean your barrel well enough to regain most accuracy with no shoot throughs. They are fast and convenient to use mid game and are easier to use than jerk squeegees. Usually after one or two uses the fabric can become saturated with paint and will stop absorbing well, leaving a film of paint in your barrel after use. Just wipe it off between games with a rag (don't forget to squeegee your squeegee). Verry nice that you get a straight shot and battle swab in one purchase.
Conclusion:
Works well enough to recommend but won't clean barrel as thoroughly as a disc jerk. Very convenient to have.

Review:
This squeegee I think is the best squeegee on the market. It takes a really long time for it to wear out. It cleans like a straight shot practically, and it comes with two in one pack SWEET. It is also made by Redz so can you say "good quality". I barely use my straight shot any more cause I have this thing. It is awesome.
This is the BEST squeegee EVER made. I personally don't like the battle swab. But even the stick swab is compact enough to be easy to carry. When you do need to use it, it won't let you down. No matter how much paint is in it, it'll do the job. Quick and very easy to use. Price is good, especially since you get 2 ($8-10). Just run it under some water to clean. I don't know what else to say. Perfection?

Strengths:
makes the barrle nice and clean. nice and fluffy.
Weaknesses:
some times the fluff comes off.
Review:
i got the swab kit about 6 months ago and it works great. it makes the barrle nice and shinney after a break.its nice and fluffy and to clean it all u have to do is put it under water and let it dry. i like redz products and this is one of em. a cool thing about one of the swabs is it folds in half for easy storage in a pocket or sumthing. one bad thing about the swabs is sometimes the fluff comes off but no worrys.
Conclusion:
its pretty cool i say go out and buy it. makes ur barrle clean and shinney.
cleans paint out of barrel pretty good
cheap
its red, and red is secksy
Weaknesses:
fuzz kinda comes off
has to be wiped off befor u can use it again
Review:
This is the best squeege out of the ones that i have used. it does wat its supposed to. only thing is, u have to wipe it off on your shirt or something before u can use it again or u will end up with more paint in ur barrel. it is pretty cheap, i picked my up for less than 9 bucks. sometimes the fuzz comes off in ur barrel, but if u just blow into your barrel, they will usually come out.
Conclusion:
great squeegie. i would highly recommend it. cleans out your barrel very well just like its supposed to. 9/10 cuz the fuzz comes off.
Great for getting oil and small debris out of barrel and a final whipe.
Weaknesses:
Trouble getting thick paint of of barrel
Review:
This product does a great job cleaning all my barrels. A good friend gave me the non-bending one because you get two in a set and you only need one. It works great for a final rub to get all the oil out. I really like this squeegee. I use it with a straigth shot and it does the job just fine.
Conclusion:
Get this cleaner another type to get major paint out. This gets a little mucked up when cleaning heavy paint but it gets everything out for the final whipe. I don't think it has any major flaws besides getting mucked up. You need to use this in combination with another squeegee to get thte most optimum cleaning.
Pull-Throughs - Don't really clean as well, because they don't have furrys on them.
Marker Setup:
Spyder E99 Avant with an EGG, HPA
Strengths:
Cleans barrel well
just soak in water to clean off
Weaknesses:
sometimes the fibers get stuck in porting
Review:
The battle swab is a great tool for cleaning barrels. If you have a break, you don't even have to unscrew the barrel like you would a pull-through. Just swab it, wipe of the swab with your jersey, and keep going. When you get home for the day, you just run it under water and towel dry it, and it's ready to go.
The only problem I have experienced is sometimes the fibers get caught on the barrel porting. This doesn't efect much, since after one shot it is out, but I guess it can be construed as a weakness.
Conclusion:
I say get it, it's better and easier to clean breaks with than a pull-through.

have to take off barrel to clean
Review:
This is a perfect addition to a squeegee. You can't get a barrel clean in the field with just this alone. Unless you take off the barrel which sorta defeats the purpose of hot zone cleaning. That said, a quick wipe with the squee and a swab of this and the barrel is clean as a whistle. Great two for one deal, the bendy one is great for folding up and bringing in your pocket.
Cool colors, everyone thinks you're cool when you bust out the red Redz swabs, see what I did there? Ha ha. ok now I'm done...
Conclusion:
Great swabs, get these and a squee and you're set.
good quality, really gets the barrel polished nicely
Weaknesses:
can only hold so much paint
Review:
I got tired of my stick squegee not cleaning the barrel well enough. Ponied up the $15 and glad I did. At first some of the material would stick in the marker, but having washed it a few times that stopped.
All the refs use these. There's a reason why...they work. If you use the stick/pull squegee first to get out most of the gunk then use this, the barrel should be nice and polished. Plus, if you don't have paper towels on hand this will pretty much get the marker internals cleaned out if you chop.
Conclusion:
It works. I consider it standard equipment for paintballing, just like a mask and pod holder, etc.
