I hate the leaking issue too. I store them in a small sandwich bag on the shelf and keep a small amount in a different container for cleaning my guns. I use an old fish food container that I can dip patches/cotton swaps in to.
The Hoppe's lubricating oil is nothing more than 100% white mineral oil. I've confirmed it with Hoppe's customer service as well as verified it with the chemical company that actually manufactures it to make sure there were no unlisted or proprietary ingredients on the SDS/MSDS. You can buy it White Mineral Oil in any pharmacy much cheaper and get a lot more, plus it's actually better since it's USP(more refined/cleaner).
Hoppes #9 solvent only works on carbon, it won't work on copper. The lubricating oil is good to use for long-term storage, I use a thin coat with a patch.
Alway's wear gloves ! A chemical is still a chemical . That doesn't belong in your body . Nice video . And I'm someone that doesn't care how many times you say something at least you made this video . You may have helped some new shooter . Good luck in the future !
I use Shooter's Choice for copper and leading issues, CLP for general cleaning, grease for lubrication, and sometimes Rem Oil for preservation. At some point, I should make the switch to Frog Lube/low odor stuff.
A demonstration would have been nice. 10 minutes is a lot of time to hear about a product, but not walk away with one or more examples of it being used.
I have been trying to find the difference between the solvent and the one that says bore cleaner and see that solvent isnt even shown on the website. so it's the same thing but it is now rebranded?
You know I counted 103 times that you said you know, you know. I might have been off you know, a bit you know, cause, you know, it's hard to catch them all ya know!
I heard the oils from your fingers making contact with the barrel could rust the barrel could the aresol lubricant be used to clean the outside of the barrel to prevent the rust
So it can be used on any part of the metal not just the bore? It can damage or stain the metal if left on? So when cleaning trigger assemblies (stuck in cracks) would you want to use some other solvent then?
i use hoppes to keep my pistols lubed, but i use heavy duty grease for my rifle. Remington 870 just give it a squirt of WD-40 every once in a while and it's good to go.
U said that the orange oil and the brown bottle of cleaner was the same thing...no...the brown bottle is a cleaner and solvent the orange bottle is a oil u put on after its been cleaned.
I have a dumb question, I cleaned out the slide with Hoppes #9 with a tooth brush using the advice of a fellow RUclipsr, but I saw in other videos where these say the slide should be cleaned DRY with a dry toothbrush. Now I am worried that the firing pin or the safety block will NOT work right due to the Hoppes cleaning solution, do you think this will present a problem. My firing pin might not extend into the primer enough. As a result, can I get some dented primers without firing. Any thoughts?
YOU GOT MAIL! your firearm will be ok,, I've used this cleaner for years the same way you did and I've never had any issues just dry it off and oil it up a bit
@@privilegedwhitemale306 Nah, no pro. I don't go to the gun range like I use to. But to answer your question, on the internet you get tons of info and you don't know what to believe. Cleaning the gun with Hoppes #9 is the way to go. The stuff dries up quickly and cleans real good. No blockages of any kind. I saw a video with Hickock 45 where he cleans his guns dry; with a dry toothbrush, this is where I got the idea. The majority of folks uses cleaning solution and it works great. Being new to guns, I was not sure. My gun is not a high end gun either (Taurus 9mm). Toothbrushes at Dollar Tree are cheap, it just felt strange cleaning the rest of the gun with Hoopes until I got to the firing pin (had to clean dry). I was like F it, I will clean the whole darn thing with Hoopes. Why stop. Hoppes is real good. I never used Hoppes and I thought it was like an oil, but it is not.4 years and no one responded (until today) lol
@@privilegedwhitemale306 Again, no expert, but yeah, you cannot go wrong with Hoppes 9, Stuff is easy to get (Walmart, Cabelas,) not expensive and safe to use. I bought a gun kit for 9mm and it has everything included. That Sig is a great choice. When I wrote this, I joined a local gun store and I shot almost everything behind the counter. I remember shotting the 9mm and 45 Sig. Really high quality gun. Even the clerks were telling me I could not go wrong if I got a Sig. I ended up collecting tools instead of guns, but I still love guns. I live in Chicago and they are so anti-gun here unless your a thug with my pants hanging on my butt. Than I can run around with AK47's.
+Darren Conley my information is incorrect. you are right. rem oil is simply to 'military standards' still a good choice in my opinion. my family has used it forever. That's a fact

You are correct.
Paint thinner, the green version, works good as a solvent as well.
Yeah, I know, lol
I could listen to you talk all day. Iv used Hoppe’s for 20 years now, although lately I’m thinking of switching to 10w30 motor oil.
Hoppes #9 solvent only works on carbon, it won't work on copper. The lubricating oil is good to use for long-term storage, I use a thin coat with a patch.
any screw on cap bottle can leak if not standing upright, ya know.
and all hoppe's cleaner bottles leak regardless
Thanks for the video.
The more you say you know, the more you don't know.
Good basic video...very helpful! 👍
I just use whatever is around. Engine oil, 3in1, wd40 pretty much any oil is fine for me

He has!
Ya know I use Hoppers gun oil on my guns. It’s really good stuff ya know. But of course ya already knew that ya know.
If I used this on the outside of my Taurus g2c will it wreck the finish of the slide
I was thought to apply enough so you leave a finger print but not so much it runs or pools...ya know lol
Thank you!

Just one sentence without "you know" would be more tolerable.
bore snake soft sided cleaning kit
You know.....
I think the man was just a little nervous to share his opinion and help, you know?

Love Hoppe's
Very helpful.
Is it SYNTHETIC or NATURAL? Does it have an ODOUR? How does it compare to BORE-TECH?
If I heard “you know “ once I heard it over 10,000 times. I quit after 2 minutes,it was all I could take
I like the way you think my friend
You know I counted 103 times that you said you know, you know. I might have been off you know, a bit you know, cause, you know, it's hard to catch them all ya know!
I think you know you have way too much time on your hands.
@@fuflang ya know?
I heard the oils from your fingers making contact with the barrel could rust the barrel could the aresol lubricant be used to clean the outside of the barrel to prevent the rust
Is hopped lube oil good 4 preventing rust
On knives 👍🏻always works great.
So clean with the bore first, then the oil? Is this correct?
Yup
Coat the inside of the barrel with oil prior to carrying? I thought you didn't want anything in your barrel.
You know lol
🤣
Whats the difference between the lubricating oil and gun oil?
So it can be used on any part of the metal not just the bore? It can damage or stain the metal if left on? So when cleaning trigger assemblies (stuck in cracks) would you want to use some other solvent then?
I’d use Gunscrubber action cleaner!
Lot if new gun lubes out now but #9 has been around forever and it works. I see no reason to change
Good intro man, I have molon labe on my left arm.
I'm 2:27 in and I counted 45 ya knows!! 45!!!
Owen Thomas want a cookie ?
110 for the whole video!
Hopees# 9 Gun oil is highly refined mineral oil USP.
Which works very well.
This video turned me into an expert on cleaning!
Take a shot everytime he says ( you know) 😂
i use hoppes to keep my pistols lubed, but i use heavy duty grease for my rifle. Remington 870 just give it a squirt of WD-40 every once in a while and it's good to go.
WD40 is not primarily a lubricant. Know what WD stands for?
fuflang Water Displacement. I know I’m a little late to the party, but maybe Hawkboy1792 just needed to find out, lol.
@@GAMEBOI789 hey you found my comment from 4 years ago!.congratulations!!!!
U said that the orange oil and the brown bottle of cleaner was the same thing...no...the brown bottle is a cleaner and solvent the orange bottle is a oil u put on after its been cleaned.
Nice vid
Can I leave Hoppe's 9 bore cleaner in my rifle overnight I have a lot of copper buildup
You know. You know. You know.
Lol you said "you know" like 300 times 🤤

your firearm will be ok,, I've used this cleaner for years the same way you did and I've never had any issues
just dry it off and oil it up a bit

110 times you said "you know" !!
An "ample" amount is the opposite of a "conservative" amount.
You know you know I mean you know
That solvent smells bad to me. I got rid of it.
Overkill on the lube. When she's too moist, there's less feel.
Uno means you have one card left...lol
Repeatedly: "..., you know"". No, do you know? I thought you know, you know?
can u use hoppes clp on top of these?
You know!
Why isn't there a demonstration? 😒😒
get on with it man
Did you know?
I know, you know.
Cut the red wire 2 prevent explosion.............but first
YOU KNOW?

Way too many You Knows...
I don’t care for hoppes, ya know
I would use rem oil. far superior. us military has been using it for years
+Jeff Stout Thought the US military used CLP
+Darren Conley my information is incorrect. you are right. rem oil is simply to 'military standards' still a good choice in my opinion. my family has used it forever. That's a fact
Military spec fire arms aren’t high quality tight fitting performance firearms FYI
we all know hoppes #9 is good ,this video of 10 minutes of talking about is not!lmfao!
