Quick take
The Patchworm sized for .22 and .25 caliber — the two most common adult PCP calibers. 22 orders. Ships with both cotton patches AND cleaning felts so you can do wet-then-dry cleaning passes out of the box. Pair with Ballistol for the wet pass, follow with dry patches. Two lines included: use the line without the plastic bead for .22, with bead for .25. Also works for .177 with 7/8″ patches (you may need to off-center the patch slightly if your .177 has a tight bore). Pocket-sized — fits in any range bag.

The Hunt & Live take
Why this kit earns the pick
For the majority of adult PCP owners, this is the right Patchworm purchase. .22 caliber is the dominant adult-PCP caliber for hunting and target work; .25 is the upgrade for larger small game. This kit covers both with a single cable system and two line options.
The patches + felts included is the differentiation vs the .177-only kit. The included felts work with Ballistol for a wet-then-dry workflow: soak a felt in Ballistol, pull through; pull through with dry patches; finish with a clean felt. The partner specifically calls out this workflow on the product page: “Works superb at cleaning air rifle barrels, when paired with the round patchworm patches and ballistol or with the cleaning felts.”
The two-line design is the small smart detail. The line with a plastic bead is for .25 caliber (the bead holds the felt or patch tight in the larger bore); the line without bead is for .22 (where the bead would be too tight). Selecting the right line at the start of a cleaning session takes 2 seconds and avoids a stuck cable.
The bonus .177 compatibility means a single kit can handle a household with multiple PCP calibers — though for .177 you may need to off-center the 7/8″ patch slightly to fit a tight bore.

Honest trade-offs
Selecting the wrong line gets the cable stuck. Pay attention: bead line = .25, no bead = .22. Mixing them up means a tight patch in too small a bore, which can stick mid-pull. Not catastrophic but annoying.
.177 compatibility is a bonus, not a primary use case. If your only PCP is .177, buy the .177 Field Kit instead — it ships with correctly-sized patches.
Felt + patch combo is the right workflow, not optional. The partner’s framing is wet (Ballistol felt) → dry (cotton patches) → final clean felt. Skipping the wet pass means you’re just dry-wiping lead out of the bore, which works but takes more passes.
