Default cleaning kits

I have a cheap $20 cleaning kit I picked up at wal-mart a few years back.
I don't know what they are called but some kits have these toothbrush-like brushes that would be helpful in cleaning.

Should I invest in a better kit that has these and better materials or should I just pick up a set of these brushes?

You can pick those brushes up at a gun shop for about $1. As long as your kit is working, just keep on cleaning with it.

My wife has a perfect set of teeth. And, like anything perfect, she tends to them better than anyone I know. She literally buys a new toothbrush every month. The old ones make it into my cleaning kits. Better, almost, are my daughter's battery powered Dora the Explorer ones. I hate to see her drop one in the toilet, but her loss is my gain.

I use a couple of brushes, old tooth brushes and what I bought several years ago what was called an "M16" brush. I have also used acid brushes to distribute grease, and paint brushes to clean around the loading press. The toothbrushes and "M16 brush see most of the action anymore since I've added a small 4 gal. air compressor under the reloading bench.
