Greater than one weekIf 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.

> 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.
