I’d call this “why tech”. There’s no compelling reason to keep the tail of the bolt particularly clean. I can’t believe people keep spending money on these tools.

Highly unnecessary and a waste of money. This can easily be done with the hollow end of a cheap GI cleaning rod.

Hm, thats actually the part I find the easiest to clean when I take care of my bolt. But then again, Im just using my AR-15 for sport shooting and it wasnt and will probably never get as dirty as the bolt shown in the video.

A piece of scotch brite with some solvent does the same thing for a lot cheaper. Wouldn’t be bad to have on hand if you had to clean lots of rifles or you shoot a LOT.

That looks like a good way to remove all the surface treatments from the steel. Those abrasive pads also tend to loose abrasive particles, which, if not properly cleaned, will increase wear.
I bought an ultrasonic cleaner, throw the disassembled bolt and carrier in with the appropriate solvent, come back in 20 min, rinse, and dry with compressed air. Nothing to it and I suspect the cost is comparable with this thing.

Unneeded. A can of gun-blaster and a rag are all you need for the vast majority of cleaning an AR, and your pinky finger and a barrel snake will suffice for the rest.
