Hoppe’s No. 9 Tornado Brush – Aggressive Fouling Removal Without Damaging Rifling

Standard bore brushes clean the bore — the Hoppe’s Tornado Brush cleans it thoroughly. Hoppe’s unique spiral-wound stainless steel design creates a scrubbing action that attacks carbon, copper, and lead fouling from every angle as it passes through the bore, removing stubborn deposits that a standard phosphor bronze brush leaves behind. The Tornado Brush’s stainless steel construction is aggressive enough to cut through heavy fouling but won’t damage rifling — making it safe for regular use on all rifled barrels and shotgun bores.

How the Tornado Brush Works

Unlike a standard bore brush where the bristles contact the bore in a single direction, the Tornado Brush’s spiral-wound design creates a 360-degree scrubbing action that contacts the entire bore surface simultaneously. As the brush passes through the bore, the spiral pattern creates a twisting, scrubbing motion that dislodges fouling from the lands and grooves of rifled barrels more effectively than a straight-bristle brush. The result is a cleaner bore in fewer passes — less time cleaning, more time shooting.

Stainless Steel Construction

The Tornado Brush’s stainless steel wire construction provides the aggressive cleaning action needed to remove heavy fouling without the risk of leaving bristles behind in the bore. Stainless steel is harder than lead and copper fouling but softer than the steel of the barrel, making it effective at removing deposits without scratching or damaging the bore surface or rifling.
