Abstract: A battery post and terminal cleaner includes a hollow base with a hollow mandrel in the base with a space around the mandrel. A scraper element is disposed in the space between the mandrel and the outer surface of the base. The outer portion of the base houses the scraper blade. A reamer extends from and above the base and a cap is provided removably connected to the base and covers the reamer. The cap has a ribbed surface to provide a friction surface which is engaged by the hand for operating the scraper. The base is ribbed and provides a friction surface for the hand when the cap is removed, for performing a reaming operation.
