Just wanted to share a tip, poultry lacers make the best pokers, and they come in bulk for cheap, you can find them at grocery stores, that jungle store, etc.
I just use my shoelace like god intended.
lol, not the string part, you can throw that away, use it for something else, or buy a pack without included string.
Toothpicks are even cheaper. Also let’s not forget the original purpose of pipe cleaners
Toothpicks of course are useful but I don’t think they hold up to a 4-6 inch metal poker that can reach down stems etc. Also they get dirty and are hard to clean, they’re sharp on both ends so you gotta be careful, and they get damaged on the ends.
Pipe cleaners are good for full on cleaning and if you’re willing to throw them out (can’t really be cleaned easily), sometimes you just need something to unclog your bowl reliably.
Get a couple Spudgers, there’s nothing better. Normally designed for opening small electronics nothing will scrape your bowl better, and even the nastiest resen washes off with a quick alcohol wipe.
Interesting! Never heard of these but they look useful. I don’t think they replace pokers, I still need something long and metal to poke out pipe and clogs, but I think I’ll get one of these for bowl cleaning etc.
