4.92" Lint Free Swabs (100 pcs, Large Flat Sqaure Head 13.5 mm/0.53", Orange, Polyester) Cleanroom Polyester Swabs Multi-Purpose Swab Sticks Micro...

I haven't used these yet. The swab end is extremely thin. I dipped one in water wondering if it would expand some....nope. I doubt these will absorb much. Might be good for thin coating CPL/gun oil after cleaning, and reaching deep to clean down in narrow spaces. UPDATE: I now realize that this company has other types of swabs. I found thicker ones. The ZeeBooth descriptions do not list AAWipes modle code. "A" is the thinner. "C" are the thicker. Ordered some "C". think between the two I'll be set.

I always needed these and never knew they existed. Now that i have them, i havent needed to use them! I guess thats good. I did test this out to clean my phone screen to see if any lint was left behind and it did not. So, if youre looking for lint free swabs, look no further.

There are hundreds of projects these lint free swabs will be good for. The large flat heads are covered in an absorbent tightly-knit polyester fabric that does shed any fibers. The heads of the swabs are very firm and have virtually no flex in the head at all. That's because the plastic goes all the way to the tip where it's even wider than the handle. The tip is then covered with the polyester. The firmness allows you to put great pressure on the thing you are cleaning. The plastic on the inside of the tip also has four rectangular holes in it which allow any solvent or moisture to seep through to the other side.

The AAWipes lint-free swabs are the solution I've been seeking for cleaning capstans, pinch rollers and head drums on audio and video tape machines. The reasons are simple but important 1. Lint free - truly lint free as in NOT A Q-TIP They leave nothing on the capstan, even when briskly rotating it 2. They are broad and flat - this means they clean the entire length of the capstan shaft in a single static position. No more scrubbing back and forth to try to get it all with a q-tip as you rotate the capstan flywheel. 3. They hold the appropriate amount of solvent, without dripping it everywhere. 4. BEST OF ALL, they have two distinct sides - which means you can clean the heavy gunk with one side, and then flip the stick over and do the final clean with a completely fresh and new surface - all without having to stop and get a completely different cleaning stick to do the final clean. This saves A LOT OF TIME! These same realities are true when cleaning a pinch roller or a head drum Highly Recommended for capstan cleaning. They will also do an o.k. job on analog audio tape machine heads, though their size can make them a bit daunting to get into smaller head spaces. They will also do a very good job on rotary head drums (ADAT, DA88, VCR, etc.) observing of course the usual precautions. HIGHLY SATISFIED - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - a true 5 star product.

Just picked up a package of these because they seemed like theyd be useful for some of my electronics projects. Already I found them quite useful for cleaning between the keys of an old computer keyboard. Their dust-free design made this particularly effective. Id love these more if the handle wasnt made of plastic (wood, maybe?). I expect these swabs to come in handy from time to time for some very specific uses.
