Hi all, I recently bought a stack of machinist tools, some mics, spring calipers, and the like.
I got these Allen key looking things with it, and when I was buying the lot, the guy referred to them as "German Reams" and he put great emphasis on them as good tools. I have looked online at different types of hand reamers, but cannot find anything that resembles these here.
They look like allen wrenches as you can see, but they certainly do have a cross section that looks a bit like a reamer.
They don't really have a significant taper, so i dont know how well they are going to ream by hand. Also some of them are pretty damaged due to rusting.
What do you guys think of these things?
Thanks.
