> 3 dayThis is a great upgrade over regular 3 blade hones, especially for those that dont have much experience with regular hones. This hone is very easy to use and works very well, make sure you use a good lubricant while you hone, 10w30 oil is what I used. The one major downside to this and any other ball hone, over a regular hone, is that you can only use this hone for the specific size cylinders. Where 3 blade hones can be used for several different size cylinder bores. Other than that I would highly recommend this hone, it worked flawlessly for me.

> 3 dayI have six of these now, and I buy a new one if I need a size I dont have. They work perfectly to take the glaze off of a motorcycle cylinder before installing a new piston and/or rings. They are sturdy, and last a very long time if treated well. Pro Tip: Dip them in transmission fluid before honing.

Greater than one weekThis 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 dayIf you are only a tiny bit over the nominal size do not follow the instructions and go up one size. They are oversized to begin with (my 1 1/8 hone being a few thousandths shy of 1 1/4). I bought a 1 1/8 hone to remove the seam from 1 SCH40 pipe and open it up from 1.03 to 1.06 so that 3/4 pipe will telescope in structural applications. I also intended to use it to open up 25mm aluminum C-cell flashlight tubes to fit 26mm LiFePO4 cells (1.026). I am hoping that after breaking in the hone on the steel pipe I will be able to start it in the aluminum tube without damaging the end. I think in both cases I would have been better served in not following the instructions and buying the 1 hone instead.
