I have a couple Dewey coated rods that need replacing.  Before I throw them out are there any secondary uses?

Glue a magnet to the end and set it aside, a use will eventually show itself.

Good idea.  Already have magnets on a stick.

You replacing with Dewey again?

Good rods but the male threads are kind of a pisser offer.  Seemed I was always hunting down their female jags or when I can’t find those I’m looking for that damn adaptor.

Have an old rod in my range bag that I cut down to 18" or so, just long enough to clear a stuck case or a squib from a 16" barrel.

Put one segment in a vice, then hammer about a 2" portion 20° or so, then break Q-tips so they seat in there.  Imagine the possibilities!
