Prime-Line RP77271 Pipe And Tubing Reamer, 1/8 in To 1-5/8 in Diameter, Red (Single Pack)

Great little tool.Does the job well.

I was surprised at how well it works given how inexpensive it is. I use it at work for deburring the outside of 1/4” OD copper tubing. It is shallower than the other one I have (which is a lot bulkier and cost a lot more than this one). This makes it good for when I’m deburring a tube that has a short end after a 90° bend.The frame is made of plastic and it’s very light so I know it’s definitely not gonna hold up forever - that said, for how cheap it is I can always easily just buy another whenever that day comes.As I mentioned before though, I can really only speak having used it for 1/4” OD copper tubing. It most likely doesn’t work as well for larger-sized tubes.

This is my first time working with copper pipes, but I needed to replace an outdoor freeze proof faucet, and the old one wouldn't come loose, so I had to cut the end off the pipe and put on a new fitting.I was working with 3/8" pipe, and it was a bit tricky to keep the tool straight as I turned it around. It got the job done, but it would probably work better if it had more blades to help keep it aligned. But, that's why it's so cheap, I guess.One thing worth noting is that it seems to cut by turning counter-clockwise. The blades appear to only go one direction. It seemed counter-intuitive, but once I figured that out and applied some pressured, it did a decent job.I found that reaming the inside first and then the outside led to a cleaner result. And then definitely follow up with an emery cloth or sand cloth or whatever and try to finish any last deburring with that.

Not expensive, but worked perfectly.

Small size

Great reamer - used on PVC 1/2" and 3/4" pipe did a good job of beveling inside and outside. Yes you get some chatter on the bevel but that really doesn't matter as far as pipe fitment is concerned. Sturdy tool but like any tool if you use it harshly or abuse it, will break or become regraded. If you use medium pressure with this tool it will last a very long time. Cutter blades are quite sharp, will work on PVC pipe up to & including 1".

As people know, you need to debur PVC after you cut it and before gluing a connector. The problem with reaming pens is that while they work great on the inside edge, they do not do as well on the outside edge. Also they are hard to use for in ground repairs of PVC. This works great. Exactly what I needed and edges seem sharp. Hopefully will last a while. (I had a break on 315 PVC pipe in my sprinkler system. 315 PVC pipe is thin walled and will not cut with a standard PVC cutter - the PVC cracks, so needed to use a hacksaw, which leaves rough edges that need to be deburred.)

Great value for the money. Aids in making a strong connection.
