## Description

Made of sturdy steel and nickel plated, the APM cleaning rod has become an industry standard.

Review: Purchased for Weaving, and what a great tool!!! - As a flutist in my youth, I knew these rods were like a long, blunted needle with a large eye. I purchased 2 flute cleaning rods for a very special purpose - to use as a weaving needle. They are wonderful! In a particular style of loom weaving I enjoy, I needed something about a foot long (the rod is 14.25"), with an eye that would accommodate bulky fibers and yarns (the eye is 0.75" in length, and 0.25" in width). The very best part about this cleaning rod is that the end where the eye hole is is flattened, and therefore is much thinner (compared to the one I have that was delivered years ago with my flute purchase). I was unaware this end would be thinner when I ordered these, but what a pleasant surprise! This helps me as a weaver because the pick-up of the warp on a flat loom (without a shed or heddle) is much easier. Weavers may ask why I didn't just buy a small shuttle, or a weaving needle (usually wooden). I didn't want a shuttle because I do not need to carry that much fiber/yarn. And these rods are way less expensive than a wooden weaving needle. These rods are perfect for my use. I am so glad I found them. This review won't help most purchasers, but I am still very excited and glad to share it.
Review: Works well with thin cloth to clean moisture from inside flute - I personally just don't like the plastic rod so purchased this steel cleaning rod which works well with a thin cloth to clean moisture from my flute. I recommend. Excellent quality and fit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect rod for cleaning your flute
*by E***M on October 9, 2017*

Exactly as pictured, nice and sturdy- came quickly. Perfect and correct rod for cleaning your flute. Make sure your cloth is long enough to wrap around the whole rod so you don't scratch the inside of your flute
