> 3 dayPurchased 76mm for honing an old ATV cylinder. Some WD40 and several passes later the bore is cleaned up and has a nice surface for the new piston rings to seal in. Cleanup is easy with carb or brake cleaner. Make sure to get the right size hone for your bore!

> 3 dayUsed this to hone both cylinders of a 22 hp Briggs VTwin lawn tractor engine that needed a new connecting rod, a new piston and 2 sets of rings. Honing the cylinders is needed to allow the rings to break in and seat properly. Since I don’t expect to do this regularly I was between a cheap set of honing stones for around $20 and the Flex hone which I’d seen on YouTube and was selling on Amazon for $37. The reviews on the honing stones were terrible (cheaply made and inconsistent result) and the flex tool reviews while not numerous were mostly positive. Several excellent YouTube videos by the manufacturer and a call to the seller about whether the 3 inch (180 grit) tool would be good for my 2.96 inch cylinder convinced me it would be worth the extra cost for the Flex hone tool. What a FANTASTIC result in less than 10 minutes to do both cylinders following the video instructions of coating the tool with clean oil and moving in and out of each cylinder for 1 minute. Perfect cross hatched pattern on both. Great tool and good value considering the $200 of parts and many hours of labor to complete this project.

> 3 dayThis is an easy way to remove a small amount of metal from cylinders. It creates a smooth surface. I would recommend this item to others who wish to enlarge the inside of a cylinder.

> 3 dayExactly what you need to prep a new Nikasil cylinder for new rings. This will remove material quickly, which is what you need to set in a nice hash pattern in Nikasil. However, you only need a slow speed (low gear on most drills) and only 3 or 4 oscillating strokes. Good luck.
