I have a patch worm pull through cleaner, but am looking for one that has a T style handle. Does anyone know where I could buy one?
Pull through cleaner

Wrap the end of the patch worm around a screw driver? I usually wrap mine around my hand a couple of times and pull slowly for that pavlovian cleaning noise.

JL Crown Saver if you can find one.
This only comes in a kit, so it's on the expensive side. T-handle looks nice.

I have a t handle from a pull-through I don't use. If you want it & can make it work it's yours. Lmk.

FAR BETTER ... IMO is a Caliber Specific Hoppes Bore Snake w/o the brushes ( Either purchased w/o or having removed them )
As to a T handle, yup wrap the end around a stick, dowel etc and pull it threw a few times Breech end to muzzle.

I've tried a few of those pull through barrel cleaners, but keep going back to the patch worm. The others (most with the T-handles) only have a loop of string at the end so it's difficult to get a good tight fit of the patch/etc. going through the bore to give it a good clean. Patch worm has that little bead at the end that the round patch rides on so it gives it a good tight fit in the bore when pulling through. Does a better job, IMO. There's additional beads you can add for larger calibers, but I just use the permanently installed bead (I think it's .20) for up to .22 and I'll use the .22 size bead for .25. Otherwise they can be too tight if you use the actual size, so I stay a size under.

Yep, I broke one as well, using the .22 caliber 'white-head' (the bonded bead broke off of the string). When I contacted Patch-Worm, they were very nice to send a replacement, but also stated:
"I'm sorry to hear of the failure. It is unusual and - when we do our part - it's nearly impossible to break. There's no good way for you to fix it. I'll get a replacement x-long rifle rod in the mail right away.
Also, in the future - especially if the bore is very fouled - you might consider starting with either a smaller patch on the white head OR just start with a regular patch on the .20 cal head which is permanently attached. That way, the bulk of the fouling can be removed more easily, prior to stepping up to the white head for a tighter finishing pull."
