What makes for a good flintlock cleaning tube clamp?

I'd like to also add that I RARELY if ever 'swoon' over a product. Some products work as described, most don't. However an extremely small minority of products are actually better than advertised. This is one of those products!
 
A good cleaning flush kit for a flintlock firearm will need a good seal and be easy to use. The flush kit by @davec2 from the Lucky Dog is a good one. I have had more problems maintaining a good seal with the clamp on version
The seal is good enough on my flush kit from @davec2 at Lucky Bag that when I pushed a little too forcefully on the cleaning rod, I launched the bucket end out of the container of water spraying sulphury water all over, lol.

I've since threaded on a fitting with a ball valve to his brass end that goes in the bucket to better facilitate a soak period but haven't tried it yet.
 
Does anyone know anything about the lucky bag? I placed a order on the 21st of May and can't get any into about tracking and have sent 2 emails with no reply?
Just wanted to make sure that everything is above level because money already withdrawn?
 
I don't feel the need for a cleaning tube. I clip off the very end of a toothpick and stick it in the touch hole. I use Windex and a swab to run in and out of the barrel. Some say to use windshield wiper cleaner. It doesn't take all that much. I run enough patches down the barrel until it come out clean. Then I run patches down the barrel until they come out dry. After that, I wet a patch with Ballistol and coat the barrel. Again, not too much! I have never had a problem with rusting. I've used the tube method and found them a PITA. My 2¢
