Over time, the metal connections of ¼ inch plugs and jacks are exposed to dirt, dust, moisture and other contaminants. In addition, these metal connections will also oxidize over time. This accumulation of oxidation and contaminants can cause loss of signal, noise and poor audio.
Regular cleaning of the male and female connections of 1/4 inch connectors will assure your equipment delivers the best signal and sound quality. The AMERICAN RECORDER 1/4 Inch Jack and Plug Tool has a specially designed nylon brush and cylinder pin pad sized for exact fit and maximum contact with metal surfaces of 1/4 inch connectors. The knurled aluminum handle delivers a sure grip and control when in use.
This tool also Includes a tube of DeoxIT® D-Series contact/connector treatment, which removes oxides and sulfides that form on metal surfaces, restoring the contact's integrity and leaves a thin microscopic layer that protects the metal. Special additives improve conductivity and prevents oxides from re-attaching, keeping them in suspension and allowing them to be easily dispersed by the cleaning tool
