From their website:

In the field, with gloved hands, and in low light conditions if necessary. The tool is currently undergoing field evaluation by selected units deployed in the global war on terrorism.

Twist the tool round and round a few times to scrape away the carbon deposits.

My overall impression is that it’s a great tool for removing carbon from the bolt and from the inside of the bolt carrier. It will also help to remove the carbon ring that can form near the bottom of the firing pin. A few simple turns will scrape it away!

However, at $35 it seems to be a bit pricey in my opinion. It makes a good gift though... getting one for dad for Father's Day!!
