    I was putting in new rings, but had a glaze on the cylinder bore. this quickly removed the glaze and will allow the new rings to seat properly.

    This 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.

    Honed a Golfcart cylinder in no time, removed fine scratches and ridge at top of cylinder in under 5 minutes. Pricey but cheaper than a machine shop and frankly equal results for all I needed.

    Exactly 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.

    I have personally relied on products from this company for a very long time in a professional setting. As far as ball Hones go Flex-Hone is the best and has been. The quality is top notch and the number of sizes they make are unequalled by any other company

    I used this on my 2004 Tacoma when putting in new leaf springs. I needed to clean and grind down a lot of rust on the inside of the shackle that the leaf spring bolt attaches to. This fit, and worked, perfectly! I went a few sizes up on the diameter of the hone versus the hole to be honed so there would be some additional friction and I could get it as smooth as possible. Attached it to my handle held drill and went to town. Would definitely order it again if I needed it!

    Wow, I didnt know how great a tool this was! Perfect honing and amazing product engineering.

The Flex-Hone® tool was originally created by Brush Research Manufacturing to deglaze cylinder walls in automotive applications. Brush Research embraced the benefits of a plateau finish and pioneered the concept of plateau honing culminating in the introduction of the Flex-Hone tool in 1972. The Flex-Hone has gained many nicknames over the years and including ball hone, ball style hone, flexihone, dingleberry hone, bead brush, glaze breaker and glaze buster. Flexible honing with the Flex-Hone tool produces an oil holding cross hatch pattern and a true plateau finish free of cut, torn and folded metal. Any type or size of cylinder can benefit from the Flex-Hone®. These abrasive bead style brushes are produced in standard diameters from 4mm to 36 inches. Nine abrasive types are offered including silicon carbide, aluminum oxide, boron carbide and diamond allowing the tool to be tailored to finish any base material. A choice of 11 different grit selections are available for precise control of finish parameters. The elimination of peaks results in rapid ring seating, better oil control, reduced seepage in hydraulic and pneumatic applications and provides better seal performance and longer seal life. Successful applications include firearm chambers, shotgun barrels, musical instruments, combustion chambers, air compressors, pumps, valve bodies, valve guides, brake cylinders, wheel cylinders and the list goes on and on. Flex-Hone® tools are also very effective for deburring cross drilled holes, port radiusing and edge blending. Because of its unique construction, the Flex-Hone is self-centering, self-aligning, and self-compensating for wear so it does not require an elaborate set-up or special training. Deburring can be effectively automated and combined in the machining process to allow a complete cylinder finish in one operation or it can be employed as a secondary operation with equal results.
