What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Great low cost, but quality reaming set. Much smoother and concentric bore operation. Bottom rounded so there is no sever taper.
Go slow and take your time positioning the reamer. The different sized reamers are handy & the design of the tool allows me to use a bit more force when i want it. The variable sizes enable you to leave a desired cake thickness.
It reamers the walls evenly and consistently from the top to the bottom. Visual examination with a bright flashlight lets you evaluate the reaming process.
Bought to remove cake buildup in my tobacco pipes. They seem to be grinding the grime out of them. Be prepared to reveal unruly things under that decades old estate lava cake.
Attachment bits push fit very firmly into a square socket in the handle held by friction. Handle is ergonomic.
Cons
Save your money and pass on this thing. You are better off with an old fashioned pipe tool that has a scraper blade on it. The blades for the reamers are rounded off on the edges so they don't really scrape well.

It provides excellent tactile feedback and holds the reamer bit securely
Good thing the reamer blades arent sharp
Read the reviews it is plastic you can only put so much torque or it will break the handle
Price
With that said for the price yes i would buy again
That aside this is well worth the money and id buy this again
Overall a good machine for the money
For the money this is a good value’ simple and easy to use
Shipping
Reamed three pipes the day i received it very nice
Competitiveness
I also bought a set with the decatur brand and they appear to be identical to this set in every way
Much better than the multitool looking one sold on here for five bucks
Ive tried many different pipe reamers and the only equal to this one is the 34savinelli fitsall34
By the way the decatur brand is sold by an online store in pa

While everything works as it should the handle could be more solid which would help the quality
