- They are great for cleaning the heads of 1/4" tape decks, and also for the
- 2" decks. Unfortunately they aren't much good for 8mm decks, 4mm decks, or
- most video decks because the heads are so small and the cotton gets caught
- around the end (but they are okay for 2" quadrature scan video decks, which
- have a greater tilt to the drum and much larger heads).

- Oh yes, and they're quite fine up your butt, too.
