Otis Technology
American-Made Gun Care Since 1985
Otis Technology reinvented gun cleaning with the pull-through Ripcord — one pass down the bore and you’re done. At Keep Shooting we carry the line that keeps your guns running: Ripcord Deluxe cleaning kits for rifle, shotgun, and pistol, the B.O.N.E. Tool carbon scrapers for your AR, and Pro+ snap caps for safe dry-fire practice. 100% made in the USA.
About Otis Technology
Otis Technology is the company that turned gun cleaning into a one-pass job, and at Keep Shooting we carry the core of its lineup — pull-through cleaning kits, AR carbon-scraping tools, and snap caps, all made in the USA.
From a Muddy Barrel to a Cleaning Empire
The Otis story starts in the mud. In 1985, a teenage Doreen Garrett was chasing a buck through an upstate New York swamp with her father when she tripped on a root and fell, plugging the barrel of her Winchester Model 94 with muck and ending the hunt. Back at camp she decided there had to be a better way to carry cleaning gear into the field — and at just 17 she built one: The Whole Kit and Caboodle, the first pocket-sized pull-through cleaning system. Her siblings Denise, Larry, and Nick joined to build the company from scratch; by 1987 Otis had its first SHOT Show booth, and soon military contracts followed because soldiers needed exactly that — compact, reliable, 100% made-in-the-USA cleaning gear. Four decades on, Otis still designs and manufactures in Lyons Falls, New York, and remains family-owned.
Ripcord Deluxe Cleaning Kits
The modern descendant of that first pull-through is the Ripcord — a Memory-Flex cable wrapped in heat-resistant Nomex fibers that scrubs and carries debris out of the bore in a single pass. The Ripcord Deluxe Kits pair that cable with a bronze brush, cotton mop, T-handle, and Otis FP-10 CLP for complete care: a .30 Caliber kit for .308, .30-06, .30-30, and 7.62 rifles, a compact 9mm/.38 pistol kit, and shotgun kits in both 12 gauge and 20 gauge. Run several platforms? The 3 Gun Ripcord Trio bundles .223, 9mm, and 12-gauge Ripcords with a shared T-handle — a competitor’s field-cleaning answer for your rifles. Browse them all in our gun cleaning department.
B.O.N.E. Tools, Snap Caps & Maintenance
Cleaning the bore is only half the job on a modern sporting rifle — the bolt carrier group cakes up with carbon, too. The Otis 5.56 B.O.N.E. Tool and 7.62 B.O.N.E. Tool are hardened-steel scrapers shaped to strip fouling from the bolt, carrier, and firing pin of AR-15 and AR-10 actions — find them with the rest of our cleaning tools and gunsmith tools. For practice and function checks, Otis Pro+ 9mm and .45 ACP snap caps are machined-aluminum dummy rounds with spring-loaded inert primers — safe dry-fire reps for your carry pistol (a Carlson’s snap-cap alternative). Set up your bench with a TekMat cleaning mat and add Wheeler and Lyman gunsmithing tools alongside. Every Otis order ships from Keep Shooting with fast handling and our satisfaction guarantee.
