    It has a large surface area for big or small jobs. Great looking quality. Balls did not easily chip in shipping as some hones do.

    I used this hone on a BMW M20 rebuild out of a mid-80s E30. The hone worked perfectly. I first used the hone with an old 9.6V Makita cordless drill that, sadly, didnt make enough torque to get the job done right. I went out and bought a 6.5 amp Porter Cable 1/2 chuck drill and it cleaned up the cylinders perfectly. Note: if the hone starts to bind a bit, do your best to _not_ stop the drill from spinning. I learned (the hard way) that if the hone stops, and you (in your infinite wisdom, like myself) try to reverse the hone out, the metal braids that hold the hone balls in place will unravel. Youll spend more time than you car too putting the hone back together again (with or without all the kings men). Even though there is still life in the first hone I used, I ordered another one just to have on hand. Thats how much I liked this hone.

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.
