Harbor Fright is a chain store where you can buy tools very cheap. Google it. They have them almost everywhere, at least in the US
Depends on what you buy, sometimes it is indeed “Harbor Fright!” ? Or “Hazard Fraught,” take your pick!
You can get them in the baby department of stores as Dr. Brown's bottle cleaners. I just use Qtips and bristle pipe cleaners.
Metal. They come with 5 different brushes. The largest one is perfect for bowl hole. Another is perfect for stem and one is perfect for the bit . They work a lot better then those spiny pipe cleaners. And for 2 bucks they last several months.
Thanks much for sharing.
I buy the ones my local tobacconist sells. I like it that they have a blunt and smooth tip, so that they don't scratch the pipes.
They're useful for other things too, such as cleaning the valves of a pressure cooker and the holes in a lemon squeezer.

holes in a lemon squeezer? What did you do to your hands that they have holes in them. And do you really squeeze enough lemons to call your hands lemon squeezers?
I'm smart and prefer the greater power of leverage. Give me a lever and I'll move the Blob.
This! If it's got a plug or a battery, walk on by. I also have seen frightening things regarding their jacks - no way I'd ever lift a house up with one of their products. I know someone who almost lost an arm due to their floorjack failing while holding up a car.
Yeah, they have some great deals on some stuff, but I won’t trust their jacks or jack stands (which recently had two recalls, I believe). Or anything else that my life might depend on. But if you need a weird specialty tool for a one-off job that you’ll probably never use again, they’re kind of tough to beat.
Walk into Harbor Freight for a $16 HVLP paint sprayer for weekend craft project. Walk out with an ammo can, a few wood clamps, another set of screw drivers and pliers, a Japanese flush cut saw, a tarp, a set of dental pics...
Harbour Freight = Cheap shit from China you use a couple of times then throw it away and go buy a new one from them!
Actually, most of the "free" things I get from Harbor Freight go into a box of goodies I periodically deliver to our elementary school, where they become part of a collection of things the students can pick an item from when they've earned a reward for good . . . what-have-you.
