Ripcord

The Otis Technology Ripcord is a revolutionary one-pass firearm cleaning system designed for shooters, law enforcement professionals, and military personnel who demand efficiency without compromise. Unlike traditional rod-and-patch methods that rely on gravity feed and multiple passes, the Ripcord delivers aggressive bore cleaning in a single efficient stroke from breech to muzzle. Built for shooters of all experience levels, this compact cleaning tool has become an industry standard for field maintenance, range cleanup, and deployment operations where speed and effectiveness are non-negotiable.

The Ripcord's distinctive helix-shaped rigid rubber core is engineered to press cleaning surface material firmly against the bore wall while actively engaging rifling, generating the aggressive scrubbing action needed to remove fouling, copper buildup, and carbon residue. The braided construction provides durability and consistent cleaning performance across repeated use cycles, while the design eliminates the need for gravity-assisted loading—meaning the tool works equally well at any angle, whether mounted horizontally, vertically, or during field conditions. This innovation represents a fundamental shift from traditional push-rod systems, reducing cleaning time from multiple passes to one decisive stroke while maintaining bore integrity.

The Ripcord benefits rifled firearm users across calibers and platforms—from tactical rifle shooters managing suppressed and unsuppressed systems to law enforcement duty weapon maintenance and military small arms arsenals. Field operators appreciate the compact 5.8-inch length and 0.18-pound weight, which allow integration into maintenance kits without adding bulk to tactical gear. This tool works with standard cleaning patches and solvent systems, making it compatible with existing field-expedient cleaning protocols. Whether conducting post-operation bore maintenance in the field or conducting thorough range cleanup, the Ripcord's one-pass efficiency reduces downtime and extends firearm service intervals through superior cleaning performance.
