Rubber piece breaks
Review:
I hate this thing and i dont think i will ever buy another one or another rubber squeegee i prefer the 'swab' types because they have less chance of scratching the inside of the barrel. I would not use this if you are entering a tournement or playing an important game and you know that your barrel isnt verry accurate when you have a ball break (the ion stock for example)
Conclusion:
i recomend this if you dont use a squeeqee too often and have only one barrel to clean. I now recomend a PMI flexi swab

Weaknesses:
Only one part that squeegees
Yellow squeegee part breaks easily
Review:
This was the only squeegee that Wal-Mart had when I needed one. Like most things it has its Pro's and Con's.
+CLEANS BARREL
This gets out all paint in your barrel. However as it gets used it starts to break up a little and starts to leave just a little paint in your barrel.
+FOLDING
this folds for storage and is easier to carry on the field as its smaller.
-ONLY ONE SQUEEGEE PART
This has only one part that does the squeegeeing. Others have 4 or 5 so its not as effective.
-SQUEEGEE PART BREAKS EASILY
The part that does the squeegeeing starts to break over time. Little parts of it start to break off, so it gets out less paint after lots of use.
Conclusion:
Its not a bad squeegee, but it dosent work as well after prolonged use.

Review:
This is a horrible cleaning utensle. if you want your gun to have stuff all in it then get this is a great deal!!! you can get a great squeege for half the price as this. I got it thinking it would be portible and it was like carrying around a puprle stick. This is horrible. I mean come on i wouldnt be busting on this if it was like fidy cent but its not its like 7 bucks!!! dont buy this! this is like all the other things from walmart in the paintball department, sucky! the only thing i liked there was the talon ghost and that was just to screw around with untill i returned it and that was when i was getting into the game.
Conclusion:
Dude this cost more then most squegges and it sucks dont buy it

I only tested this squeegee before returning it. It folds in half but is still about 8" or so long which would make it awkward to carry on the field. This squeegee is used by pushing the end that cleans paint out through the barrel then pulling it back out the same end it went in rather than pulling it right through like most squeegees, If they changed the grip end and made it small enough to fit through the barrell it would make this product useful. It was very difficult to get through the barrel and the pivoting rubber end forced the plastic handle against the side of the barrel, which could lead to scratching. I did not use this to try to remove paint as I only dry tested it and was dissatisfied with the results so I can not speak for how well it actually cleans. In my opinion save yourself $5 and buy a cheap rubber pull through squeegee.
Conclusion:
I returned this product after testing and think that you would do the same as it is difficult to use as compared to other standard squeegees.
05 spyder piolot acs, clear halo b, 12in smartparts teardrop barrel, 15* assault block, acs bolt(came with gun,) reds cam-lock neck feed, red dye stickies. i think that is all.
Strengths:
The squeegee folds
Weaknesses:
See review
Review:
Where should i start, it folds, but it is hard to fold and comes un-folded. It scratched the inside of my beloved barrel, it didn't fit through my old 14in jt, it is plastic, was awkward to use, haveing it folded takes up as much space as one that is roled up. Now that i stated the weaknesses, ill give you the story of it and me. I just got it because i thought it folding would be good, it was cheap, and i just needed one. When i go paintballing next week, i broke a ball in my old 14in jt, i tried to squeegee it, but it wouldn't go all the way through. Luckilly i had my stock barrel. later i choped a ball in my stock barrel, so i squeegee it, and there is now a scratch in my stock xtra barrel that was caused by the insanely hard plastinc squeegee part. To add on to that, it also got the paint out of my barrel, but only one one side, and it was very oquward to use. Also, it fit in my pocket just as well as my new squeegee(rolled up) that has to be at least 22in long.
Conclusion:
for the 3 or so dollars that i spent on this, it caused me a lot of trouble, and ruined my stock xtra's barrel. after that time, i went and threw it away and spent 8 more dollars on a decent squeegee. DONT BUY IT UNLESS YOU HATE YOURSELF AND YOU JUST WANT TO SEE YOUR BARREL RUINED AND YOU LIKE TO WASTE MONEY AND YOU LOVE VL, AND YOU HATE YOUR GUN AND YOU LIKE PAINT IN YOUR BARREL AND YOU LIKE SQUEEGEEING FOR FUN AND YOU DON'T BELEAVE ME AND YOU BUY THIS PRODUCT ANYWAY. I GIVE IT A NEGATIVE 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, BUT I GUESS A 1 SHALL DO.
Spyder Xtra, Ricochet 2k, 20 oz CO2(with black bottle warmer), pmi razor barrel
Strengths:
None
Weaknesses:
Big, hard to use, does'nt clean well
Review:
I got this squegee as a backup incase i loose my other one or need to lend it to a friend. I couldent figure out how they would think its practical to make you force the little flimsy ring on the end of the plastic rod through the barrel, and then pull it through, it sucks. forcing the thing into the barrel does make it so you dont have to remove the barrel, but its hard and doesnt make sense. I cut the bulky VL symbol off the end and turned it into a pullthrough, that makes it much simpler, although the thing only has one ring to clean paint, it simply doesnt do the job, and has complicated ways of using it.
Conclusion:
VL should have put more time into this things design, it wouldent be my first recomendation.

Good idea
Cheap
Weaknesses:
Does not work at all
Review:
I was thinking the idea of a folding was brilliant, but a single disk to clean with bothered me. But what could hurt about spending a few bucks, maybe I'd hit gold right? I think whoever designed this should have slapped POS right on the package. The thing didnt even fit in the barrel. Any of them. What the hell kinda squeegee doesnt fit down the barrel?! After this, I chose not to assume that it was, in fact, a paint-soup teleportation device and promptly used it to distract my opponent. I threw it at him! It did make him look down where I hit his foot long enough for me to bunker him. Plus one point. How else was I going to shoot him, though? I couldnt clean my barrel 'till after the game.
Conclusion:
Unless you intend to throw these at your opponents shoes as a distraction, it really isnt worth anything. THIS IS NOT A BARREL CLEANING DEVICE! I give them a two for the idea, and the laughs everyone had about my distraction tactics.
Very snug, makes it somewhat difficult to ram down barrell sometimes.
Review:
Hmm... where to start. This thing, I don't mind it much, but I'm not crazy about it. It folds in half, so you can easilly store it in a pocket while in the field. It's designed so that you stick it down the barrell to the action, then pull it out, whippin' out the paint. Make sure you work it in a couple times before using it in the field because it's got a plastic tip, which the more you use, the softer it becomes, allowing it to enter the barrell easier. Not very solid though. It feels like it's going to snap when you use it. But considering you use it in the field, and it folds, that's good enough for me.
Conclusion:
Not a bad piece for the change it's worth, but it has an acquired feeling.

Its blue and esay to see, It folds up only good thing about this
Weaknesses:
Will not fit in any of my berrels
Review:
Ok this thing is just a big waist of money will not fite in any of my berrels not my armson stealth ,outococker stock or traccer stock or A5 stock berrel. When trying to shave some of the plastic of i ended up cuting my finger that sucked. closing gives pinches,
Conclusion:
Dont waist your money get any other squeegee. the only thing that this hase going for it as that it folds up very cool idea they just need to make it better and stronger.
have used a squeege which is cotton and came apart.
Marker Setup:
Vexor,''14'' demon sniper barrel,Extreme Range Overdrive hopper,200ounce co2 tank
Strengths:
There isent really any strengths. The only strength is it fits spider thread barrels well.
Weaknesses:
Snaps back in half when you try to put it in the barrel.
Review:
This squeege is pretty bad because everytime you put it in your barrel it snaps back in half after you use it for a while. The piece that cleans out the paint is kind've rubbery and dosent work well. The squeege is only $8.00 and it isent worth it. Paper towels could probably do better. If you are a rookie or you try to get things cheap DON'T get it. Spend a little bit more money and get a better one.
Conclusion:
Don't get it. Just spend a little more to buy a better one. This squeege only works good in the beginning and gets reallyy bad.
