This is one of the best all-around reamers that I know of. If my conversations with Steve Fallon (the Pipe Stud…we all need to boost our self-image one way or another) I think he feels the same way. One of the advantages of this tool is that it can be expanded to fit all but the very largest chambers…none of my other reamers (I usually end up using two types, with this model doing the vast bulk of the work) is this versatile. It might be best, or most economical, to purchase this cleaner along with a pipe to save on postage. This one is fairly old, but never used and the label indicates that it was purchased from my dear friends at Iwas Ries tobacconist in Chicago.
