Special AGD/AO Bomb Swabs??

[Freedy500]

The only swabs I've really used are the ones made by Redz (with dark red swab material). I do see them shedding from time to time, but so far they've worked pretty well. Just have to rinse them out with hot water after a day of play and let them air dry. How are the Bombswabs different? Anyone got some close-up photos for comparison?

Well I have never heard of any Bomb Swabs shedding and I have never heard of another swab that wont. They are just a great product with quality and time put into it. Constructive criticism is good but you have made your point and I am sure he will work to improve on it. Right now all this thread is about is whether or not you are interested in the pre-order. Minimum is 20 as stated again and again. I chose to have the AO/AGD swab made by Bomb Swabs because of their product and how great they are which I have learned from a first hand experience. Would you rather have a swab that will last insanely long and is its moneys worth and have it be on website not to your preferences? or would you rather have a swab that will fall apart in sometimes under a month, week and for me under a day, but order it from a beautiful website that looks cool? I chose the product that has a better performance. Because think of it this way. Either way you get an AO swab and if you don't like the website then good thing were using Bomb Swabs because you will only have to order them once.

Pre-order list will be up once photo-shop pic is up. which will hopefully be by the end of the night.

They are excellent. Other brands fall apart in under a year.

I have read some unkind words regarding our website and would like to explain why our site lacks the glitz and glam of more mainstream sites.

I'm sorry if my blunt constructive criticism was perceived as "unkind". I thought my use of an internet meme in my first post and a smiley in my second post was sufficient to convey a "tongue-in-cheek" attitude. It was never my intention to honestly offend.

on a side note... my computer punched my in the face when I opened the site cause of the animations

This is the same thing I was complaining about primarily. I pointed it out too, just like this.

...a glitz n glam site is very expensive and requires constant upkeep and never ending expenses by a hired webmaster.

Not asking for glitz and glam (actually, hoping for just the opposite!), and it certainly doesn't have to be expensive. If you've got control of the site, and it seems you do, then two things you can do right off the bat are to 1) update the animated .gif to make it a static, left-floated or centered, less annoying image, and 2) quit using all the text effects - there's no need for all the different text colors, sizes and highlighting. There are a bunch of articles on the web about site design do's and don'ts. Just browse a few and a website facelift could be completed in a few hours.

You've got one thing right: if the product is good, it will sell itself.

Sorry I have been gone the whole entire day and busy as can be and nowhere near a computer. I just got around to looking at this and it seems like the man himself has taken control of this so I will just get the pre-order list ready when necessary. I am pretty excited about the swabs and cant wait. The cost for this to be done on a normal swab is the same as a normal swab itself. The costs and types are listed below.

Semtex Swab: cost= $10.00 plus shipping. These are the your basic swabs but insanely tough and reliable and are virtually indestructible!

Your basic Bomb Swab is around $8.00 plus shipping

Not sure if we can get more than those two but I will list others anyway just in case if you are interested.

Stealth swabs: $16 plus shipping. These are really cool looking but not sure how to describe them and I don't think we could get AO/AGD versions of these. Same goes for the Ultra-premium which are absolutely the best of the best (already good enough if you ask me) and cost around $15.00 plus shipping.

Pod Swabs. These are some over-sized swabs that are used for cleaning pods. $25.00.

Thanks again to all of the interest. Again pre-order of 20. Big-Evil thanks again for supporting this and pics of yours would be appreciated. I decided we will do the logo posted above with color of course. I love the Logo by the way. Great compromise between AO and AGD. Nothing else you really need to know about besides that and the photo shop and the shipping cost. I am not sure if payment will be through his website or some other method.

As I believe this is being put to some-kind of vote. When this forum decides on a logo. We can do a Photoshopping of the proposed design. We are waiting on a consensus first.

also back to my original point, we need pictures to see. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

and as for AO vs AGD... put one up of both, photoshop was made for a reason

[sheister]

to support him i remember a certain box discussion Tom had with us all and the consensus was we didnt care what the box our mag came in looked like, as long as it contained a mag.

who cares what the site looks like, if the product is good...

on a side note... my computer punched my in the face when I opened the site cause of the animations

Thanks for the feedback, its probably the resolution of the gif images in the rotating graphic that we do admit needs updating. We can fix that. And thanks for letting us now. It loads perfectly on our end so this is the first we have heard of this issue.

Hello this is Dave from BOMBSWABS.COM some of you know me personally and some through this great site. But all should know by now I have been a long supporter of the auto mag going back to the 90's. I continued using mine in competitive tournaments and achieving victories long after mags had fallen out of fashion leaving me most of the time as the only user at any tournament. It was in large part the inspiration of AGD that caused us to model our company in a similar fashion putting quality at the forefront leaving all other business aspects of our approach in less important positions. This isnt a sales pitch here but I state this because I have read some unkind words regarding our website and would like to explain why our site lacks the glitz and glam of more mainstream sites. The previously mentioned statements should allude as to the reason but to put it simply, a glitz n glam site is very expensive and requires constant upkeep and never ending expenses by a hired webmaster. In turn, the added expense may cause us to be forced to raise our prices. Our prices haven't changed in 6 years even though our material costs and shipping have. We do this for you the player, and we arent getting rich doing this either. I drive a beat up Honda civic that's over 10 years old from the spoils of running BOMSWABS.COM. But its a labor of love an we are happy to not be corrupted by too much money or fame. Finally, the logistics of porting over our shopping cart are nightmare-ish to even consider. As it stands now our sites software is adequate,works flawlessly, and can be administered by our in-house staff without the need of a college degree. What the future will bring we can only hope for. This will of course include many things including an eventual updating of our site. Until then our beauty is all in our product for now.

Best Regards

I got some Empire ones which work fine but the rubber part in the center broke the second time I bent it. Has anyone used those Exalt Barrel Maid?
