The knob can be turned to unscrew it from the main unit. In the bottom edge of the case there is a banded group of cut pipe cleaners.Ī brilliant part of this tool is found under the adjustment knob on the top. The case that the reamer came in is functional and strong. In the U shaped bowls I have to finish the reaming by using the second tool below or a piece of sand paper wrapped on a dowel. It is perfect for the conical bowl or V shaped bowl that tapers to a point. The one draw back of this reamer is that it does not do a great job on the heel of the bowl in rounded or U shaped bowls. The hardened steel does a great job cutting back the carbon of the cake and can be adjusted to allow for different cake depths. It works very well for cylindrical shaped bowls. The blades remain vertical so that the bowl does not taper. The utility of this reamer is that it is able to be adjusted to multiple bowl sizes. The top is the adjustment knob and as it is turned it opens the blades wider or narrower. It is an adjustable three blade hardened steel reamer. There is also a similar reamer available going under the label of the Senior Reamer which can be purchased at most of the online pipe vendors. The first of these is readily available on EBay as Kleen Reem pipe reamers.

I have written of the advantages and weaknesses of both in the review that follows. They work on the thickest and hardest cake that I have found in these old work horse pipes. Both of them have different strengths or advantages that I have come to count on in the process of using them. In the process of refurbishing estate pipes, a thing that I enjoy doing, I use two pipe reamers almost every time I begin the work.
