Best Reamers

The RIDGID 29983 is a convenient hand reamer engineered for reaming pipes made of stainless steel and copper. This pipe reamer includes 45 high-quality cutting edges on the interior cone for clean inner reaming and precise outer deburring. And just like any decent reamer that is designed for reaming pipes, this tool is durable and easy to use. Albeit the convenience, the process of reaming the minimally sized pipes takes more time than you might think. As a matter of fact, most reamers are too weak for steel electrical tubing, with the RIDGID 29983 being a rare exception to this rule. Thanks to the clever and well-thought-out design, the tool is more than capable to withstand and cut materials used in electric conduits.

Built to last, it also comes with a lifetime warranty against defects from RIDGID. This versatile tool can also be used for easy fitting or beveling of copper tubes. Other than that, the model is suitable for tubes of ¼-inch to 1-¼-inch outside diameter and will allow you to use pipe cutter with more freedom because it reams perfectly smooth holes without any burrs left behind. Thanks to a dual metric and imperial measurement bar, you shouldn't be able to face any challenges trying to achieve a precise result. Finally, another impressive thing about this reamer is that it has an easy-grip design that adds more convenience and comfort during a prolonged period of use. Made with a distinct RIDGID quality, this inner and outer reamer tool is a perfect addition to your tool case no matter what your field of operation is.

The Klein Tools 85191 is a screwdriver designed for reaming and fitting of conduits. Its plastic handle is arguably one of the most durable ones you'd be able to find on the market. Manufactured specifically to work with electrical metallic tubing, it can be used for 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, and 1-inch diameter holes. This conduit reamer has a hooded-base handle for additional convenience that helps when you work with hard-to-reach conduit fittings and is also useful in terms of keeping the tip from slipping out of screws. Moreover, this updated model has a 1/16-inch hex socket set screw. Thanks to this feature, the reaming blade is securely held in place, which ensures a more accurate fitting of the conduits. When the reaming tool blade gets too dull to use, you can get a new one and replace it with ease. On top of that, when you turn the instrument and push it alongside the axis of the hole at the same time, it allows you to ream an extremely thin layer of material.

Although this device has a convenient grip, it is not insulated and will not protect you from the electric shock, so make sure to always wear anti-shock gloves and eye protection. This particular screwdriver is extremely durable and is, in fact, designed for some real heavy duty. Despite that, you need to apply a considerable amount of pressure for a smooth use. 

The Woodstock D4140 Repairman's Taper Reamer is seemingly a very simple yet highly functional tool. It is not designed for machine use but, as a hand tool, the model is capable of delivering exceptional results. Despite its modest price, it can produce same results as you would normally get from some of the more expensive pin reamers. It is compact and its removable handle makes it easy to fit it in any toolbox or a bag for convenient transportation.

In addition to all of that, this hand reamer has 7 flutes for smoother bores and is 5 inches long with a handle of 3-½ inches. No matter what your objective is, whether it is reaming of the guitar pins, making bores in pipes, or enlarging holes in various materials such as metal, plastic, PVC, or wood, this handy taper reamer will be able to match your needs. However, when in use, the handle of the reamer can slip out sometimes, so it is recommended to hold the reamer in a tight manner. If you need to ream holes from ⅛- to ⅝ inches in diameter, this versatile hand reamer will be able to lend you a helping hand. The construction of this tool is somewhat crude, so if your goal is to cut burrs, there's a chance that you will have to do several runs in order to achieve a perfectly clean cut. Other than that, it does not matter if you are an amateur who is just getting started in the DIY field or a professional woodworker, plumber, or an electrician since this versatile device will be able to meet your demands either way.

The Wolverine PST085 is an outer and inner hand reaming tool. To put it bluntly, the model gets the job done when it comes to deburring the ends of the CPVC and PVC pipes and reducing the duration of the process by a wide margin, especially if you compare the result from the one you'd get using a regular utility knife. Designed with three cutting edges and a cast metal body, this sturdy little inner and outer reamer is a budget-friendly addition to your toolbox.

From time to time, when you're busy cutting a pipe or a conduit with an abrasive saw or a pipe cutter, it can leave a lot of burrs and the clean end becomes a messy one to work with. Having said that, after just a few runs with this reamer, there will be no burrs at the end of a pipe and you will see a smooth result of your job. Even though the specifications of this reamer state that it can handle ¾ inch holes, with a light and even pressure application and some rotation, you will be able to utilize this tool on ⅜ and ½ tubings.

Some customers may find that it is a rather small hand tool but, on the other hand, it is very comfortable to use and convenient to hold in hand thanks to an easy-grip design. When you need to finish your DIY projects such as plumbing, cutting, beveling or reaming pipes in your house, there's simply no other tool out there that will be able to do that as quickly and effortlessly as the Wolverine PST085. Despite its modest price, this model is a solid solution for deburring PVC, copper, and steel pipes.

The General Tools 196 is a combination of a hand reamer and a countersink that allows you to work with wood, plastic, iron or copper pipe, and even sheet metal. The reamer itself is 5-⅛ inches long and has a five-flute cutter made of steel. This handy and sturdy reamer is designed for deburring and beveling holes with ¾ inches in diameter using its sharp blades. Even though you can remove burrs from aluminum, plastic or copper tubes without facing any major problems, if you plan on using this tool with steel, you'll probably have to do a couple of additional runs to achieve a cleaner looking result. Additionally, you can use this tool as a countersink for screw heads, bolts, and rivets. What is more convenient about this reamer model is that it has a durable and ergonomically designed heavy-duty handle. Nevertheless, during a prolonged period of use, the handle tends to slip out of the hand, so be careful with that. Although this reamer tool is more suitable for woodworking, it is still a useful instrument that is capable of enlarging and countersinking holes in plastic, sheet metal, wood, and other materials.

All in all, no matter what kind of project you are working on, this reamer tool with a screwdriver grip is an ideal choice for removing burrs and screw countersinking and will find its special and important place in your toolbox.
