Description
Cleaning a shotgun after a day at the range or in the duck blind doesn't have to mean spreading rods, brushes, and patches all over the workbench. The Hoppe's 1-2-3 Done Shotgun Cleaning Kit boils the whole job down to three steps: swab the bore with No. 9 solvent, pull the BoreSnake through, and add a few drops of oil for storage. It's built specifically for 12 gauge and comes with a matched BoreSnake, so there's no guessing about fit.
What Comes in the 1-2-3 Done Kit
The kit pairs three proven Hoppe's products that folks have trusted for generations. You get the famous No. 9 Gun Bore Cleaner that cuts through carbon, lead, powder, and plastic wad fouling, a bottle of high-viscosity lubricating oil that won't gum up the action, and the patented BoreSnake. The packaging also has clear photo directions printed right on it, which makes this a solid pick for a first-time shotgun owner who wants to do things right without a lot of fuss.
Why the BoreSnake Does the Heavy Lifting
The BoreSnake is the star here, and for good reason. Drop the brass weight through the breech end, let it fall out the muzzle, then grab it and pull. On its way through, the integrated bronze brush scrubs the bore while the woven rope section wipes it clean with roughly 160 times the surface area of a standard patch. Run it a couple of times, and a 12 gauge barrel is clean in a few minutes flat. The brass weight is even stamped with the gauge so you always know which one you're grabbing.
A Kit That Earns a Spot in Your Range Bag
Because the whole thing packs down small, plenty of hunters keep one in the field pack for a quick pass between drives or after a barrel takes on some dirt. The BoreSnake is machine washable, so you can rinse it, let it dry, and use it season after season. It's a smart way to keep a smoothbore running right without dragging out a full bench setup every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the BoreSnake in the 1-2-3 Done kit clean the barrel?
You drop the weighted end through the breech, let it come out the muzzle, then pull the whole thing through. The bronze brush loosens fouling and the woven rope wipes it away in a single pass. Running it a couple of times through a 12 gauge barrel usually gets it clean in just a few minutes.
Is this kit good for someone cleaning a shotgun for the first time?
It's one of the easier ways to get started. The three-step process is printed right on the package with photos, and there are no rods to thread or brushes to swap. Just solvent, a pull with the BoreSnake, and a few drops of oil.
Can I reuse the BoreSnake, or is it a one-time-use tool?
The BoreSnake is made to last. It's machine washable, so when it gets dirty you can toss it in a rinse, let it air dry, and put it right back to work. Plenty of folks get years of use out of a single one.
Will this kit work as a quick field clean while hunting?
That's one of its best uses. The whole kit packs down small enough to keep in a field pack or range bag, and it's handy for clearing a barrel if it takes on dirt or debris in the field. For a full bench cleaning at season's end, a complete rod-and-brush kit is still worth having on hand.
