What do you use to clean primer pockets?

Title says it all. Do it by hand? Use electrons?

I started reloading by cleaning primer pockets for Dad about 1965. He used a small Grace hollow ground screwdriver. The handle is placed in the palm of the hand. Index finger on the stem. A quick turn of the wrist and carbon comes right out. It may not look pretty but it does short work of the chore.
I use a harbor freight rotary tool (9.99) and a small bronze brush
The good thing is the rotary tool is so weak there's no danger of over doing it
Unlike a real Dremil tool
Which would be way to strong for that delicate work
