Default Otis Cleaning Kits - What Do You Think?

Long story short, I'm just piecing back my tools and (parts) of my cleaning kit after a move. Many things are missing/lost. Basically, I need to buy a new cleaning kit.

Tried to save money and bought a very cheap kit. Especially for .22LR, it's terrible. The rod ends seem to hit the crown and brushes are not good. Not worth it.

I liked my Otis (went missing) kit. Now, I am confused about which kit might be best. They seem to offer so many more than when I bought mine. Mostly for pistols/revolvers, but rifle and shotgun would be nice if it's not a lot more.

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced model with nice hardware ...Otis or otherwise?

Any sales or special pricing would also help.


Thanks!

I use various Dewy rods and tips/brushes. Always have a bore snake with me for the gun/guns I'm shooting at the range.

No rods go inside any of my smallbores, especially a quality rimfire.

The Otis system works great for me. I haven't bought a kit in a while, so I'm of little help with pricing.
