I make turkey calls. I use these on turkey “yelper†or “flute†style calls that’s are made from hardwood. Pre-drilled holes can be reamed out with these tools. They work much better than other reamers I’ve tried. Seem to be sharper.

Recently I purchased a bicycle trailer, but during assembly I came to learn the welding was garbage, and the gates, while they could be put into position, were so badly aligned that the lynch pins couldn't go through both holes to lock them in place. After a fruitless search to purchase smaller lynch pins at local stores, and no way to order any as I didn't know the size I had and didn't want to waste money getting some that were bigger or the same size I already had, I decided my best option was to make the hole fit the pin, since I couldn't make the pin fit the hole. Enter this product. As it's made of carbon steel, I figured it would eat through any softer metal without issue and was not disappointed. The trailer is made of a normal steel, so it stood no chance. My gate fits great now and this tool doesn't have a single chip in the blade. Very good quality product. As long as you don't need to cut something harder than carbon steel you won't be disappointed by this tool.

I needed this to enlarge some holes on a backing plate and it worked perfectly. But beware its made in Japan and those guys have small hands so if you have big hands I would recommend one with a better handle.

This tool does the job quickly and very well. Its performance almost equals that of a similar tool I had in the late 1970s. The only downside is the short, poor-fitting handle. The poor fit can be improved a bit by wrapping pipe tape around the part of the handle that contacts the tool. Due to the handle fit issue, I also recommend using the short handle 196 tool for final finishing. I've awarded this tool 5 starts based on effectiveness, though 4.5 stars is the rating if use comfort is included. Highly recommended!!

I frequently need a tool to help me in tapping hard metal such as stainless steel for screw threading. I the past, I would have to step drill and file in order to get the tap started properly. This tool has made my job a lot easier. I've read other ratings on this tool(not so complementary) but I purchased it anyway. Reason: Not made in China or other out-sourced countries but made in Japan, Switzerland or Germany who I believe are the forerunners in making tools for metal working, cutting and sharpening. Hints for other users that gave this tool a bad rating. Be patient, use sufficient manual force for bite and and use a good grade of cutting oil in metal work. "Tee rod frequently falling off?" Solution for those who can't chew gum and walk a the same time: Put some tape(duck, masking, electrical, band aid, chewing gum, etc) on the rod. Addition/modification: Put a rubber washer on the shaft below the handle to prevent knuckle abrasion. Maintenance: Yes this tool will become dull through use or abuse but can be resharpened. I've done it before on other reamers using diamond files.

I bought this to slightly enlarge a hole in the lid of my BBQ grill. It worked exactly as expected and designed. I've put it away for using should I ever need to do something similar in the future.

Rod that is t handle wont fit. Tried to contact seller, nightmare web page found not contact them. If seller reads please contact me. Tool is useless without proper fitting handle.

The reamer is too short so your hand is way too close to the work. Also the T handle is not retained in any way so using the tool is complicated by having to keep the thing in place.

soddisfa pienamente le mie aspettative che sono comunque limitate, forare pvc e canne. Lascia bordi ben netti senza eccessive sbavature. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo.

Excellent quality at a reasonnable price. Use oil and do not push for a deep bite... Be firm and gentle for a smooth result even in s.s.
