What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Works great for preserving and cleaning firearms and knives. For cleaning guns this is a must have. I like to spritz a small amount over the entire firearm.
This is a product that lives up to its hype. Worth the money, but still a bit pricey. It is a great product and i highly recommend it.
Just as good as hoppes #9 without getting high off the smell. The odor isn't all that offensive because we use the cleaner outdoors. There is no bad odor either, the scent is pleasant.
I like that it washes off with water and leaves a protective coating after water evaporates. Comes off quite effortless, and does not have the annoying oily feel to it. That, in my view, outweighs any slight advantage that its competitors may have in ... Read More
Cons
It pains me to have to give it such a low rating (one star), but the smell - it's beyond awful! Its against the seller. Amazon's answer is, it's a petroleum product, so there is no return.

Price
The best around always to expensive unless you buy a 55 gallon drum
As advertised a proven track record for all the things and at the right price
Worth the money but still a bit pricey
The only thing not to like about this is that its a pricey product
Packaging/appearance
Item had no packing in the box and can was dented
This item the canister is dented and deformed causing an “oil can” effect that could cause a crack that could leak
However amazon seems to be getting worse at packaging
Amazon packaging is sub standard for this type of order
Competitiveness
This stuff cleans rifle barrel powder fouling better than mpro 7 and shooters choice
Will continue to buy ballistol over anything else out there
I have been using ballisttol for about 25 years now i think i have tried about every oil and lubricant out there and have found... Read More
That in my view outweighs any slight advantage that its competitors may have in effectiveness
