> 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 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 dayWorked great for what I needed, it is important to know how to use this tool before you try to use it. And it’s suggest using 10W-30, I saw some use transmission fluid, I actually used vegetable oil with great results.

> 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.

Greater than one weekUsed the 3” 240 grit. Did an amazing job on the steel sleeves in this machine for a set of SPI pistons. Compression and performance are still spot on after 800 miles of use. Definitely would recommend.
