Tou would think they would make it to fit all 2” Pipe outside dia!

Great

Cool reamer. Only issue is does not work on 1-1/2 pvc pipe.

Saw a co-worker with something similar but was not rigid no comparison Ridgid works great

This tool works Great

This is a beautiful looking reamer. But if you are used to working with Rigids excellent professional plumbing tools you might be shocked at the quality of this Chinese made piece of junk. The reamer is made from two parts: 1) The inside is a nicely machined hardened steel conical shape for reaming the inside diameter on one end and the outside diameter on the other end, 2) A machined aluminum extrusion handle. The problem is that the steel is very poorly pressed fit into the aluminum extrusion. When mine came the two pieces were loose and the first time I used it the steel just popped right out the aluminum. I thought this was some sort of feature that I didnt understand but no, its just a very poorly made tool. What I did to fix the problem was to set the reamer down on concrete and hammer the hell out of the top edge in order to deform the aluminum and hopefully retain the hardened steel core. It failed the first several times but eventually I got it to stay pretty well. This is not what you expect to have to do with any $65 tool let alone a rigid plumbing tool. Eventually I was able to use the tool to ream several hundred large diameter aluminum tubes. It worked fairly well but takes a lot of muscle. Sometimes it is better to grip the reamer in a pipe stand and rotate the work rather than the tool. I did not see anything else on Amazon designed to do the same thing or anything that looked nearly as good but I cannot recommend this tool, particularly at this price.

Great item, just as described.

Very smooth to use great purchase

This product is definitely the most expensive reamer I found, and that might deter some people. But compared to other similar types of reamers this one gets the job done incredibly well. Ive used the typical inside/outside reamer that has 4 blades and though they work fine, they feel rough to use. This thing is super smooth! With the 42 blades it has, there is almost no resistance when I ream my conduit. And it can work on conduit up to 2 inches in circumference which is super helpful! Like I said, its pricey but I am glad I bought it.

Use a lot of progress fittings. No more worries putting pipe into fittings.
