Rigel Products Introduces a Bore Brush for Cables

    We did a review on Rigel Products’ Boresmith in 2013. This year they are bringing something new to their product line–a Jag Brush for cables, in response to demand from dealers and customers.

    The male end of the brush has an 8/32 thread that will fit standard cables. Aside from that, it behaves like their standard system. A patch is punctured at the pointed tip of the connector, which is then pulled over the connector.

    I can attest that pushing the patch through the barrel was smooth. And then it is possible to pull the patch back through the barrel (a very nice feature, IMHO). You get more use out of the patch and it is faster than going only in one direction (I know there are some schools of thought that recommend only going in one direction).

    Have any of you used their products recently? I’m definitely interested in trying the triangle patches out.

    Tom is a former Navy Corpsman that spent some time bumbling around the deserts of Iraq with a Marine Recon unit, kicking in tent flaps and harassing sheep. Prior to that he was a paramedic somewhere in DFW, also doing some Executive Protection work between shifts. Now that those exciting days are behind him, he teaches wilderness medicine and runs an on-demand medical staffing business. He hopes that his posts will help you find solid gear that will survive whatever you can throw at it–he is known (in certain circles) for his curse…ahem, ability…to find the breaking point of anything.
