The tool I needed!
I just upgraded my Epiphone Les Paul pots and wiring. I needed to enlarge the wholes in body to fit the larger CTS pots. This tool worked perfectly. It is sharp and opened up the holes very cleanly. Very impressed. And feels like a quality tool that I will have in my toolbox going forward.

Reamer is a funny word
Wood Reamer. This lil' handheld tool is legit. Handle is attached well..nice & solid. This joker is good n sharp. Balanced & even from top to bottom.I just needed to expand some smaller holes that were already drilled into an inch of some beautiful cherry plinths...so I could screw attenuators into the wood.I didn't want to spend a small fortune & the handheld gave me more control of the hole size I needed.This Reamer was of nicer quality than I expected. I guess I was expecting something light in weight with a screwy handle. For my uses this Reamer could last me forever.Came in a nice box instead of just thrown in a bag.

Perfect for installing Endpin Jack in Acoustic Guitar
I used this to install an LR Baggs HiFi Duet in my D28. There was a small hole from the strap button installed at the factory, so I used this reamer to widen the hole to the needed half inch opening. The reamer blade is very sharp. I started slowly and frequently removed the reamer and vacuumed it clean. It took several minutes to completely open the hole. You do have to go all the way in for the jack to easily fit. This was much less expensive than some of the luthier step drills I was looking at and far less scary.I would highly recommend this if you are comfortable working with wood and confident in your ability to control the reamer.

Used for ukulele
I wanted to change the machine heads on my ukulele and the holes were not big enough so I bought this tool and it did the job very well.

Taper is 2.7 degrees
Luthiers need the taper of a reamer expressed as a degree, since bridge pins come in either a 3 or 5 degree taper. This one appears to be just shy of 3 degrees (2.7).

Good Price/Performance Ratio
This is a good tool that can easily achieve the 10 mm holes needed for many common tuners used in electric guitars. That ability makes it a good complement to the StewMac reamer, which oddly maxes out at 9.5 mm. The only downside: this reamer isn't quite as sharp as the SM model, slowing down your progress when working with a maple headstock.
