Kleen Reem Pipe Tool

[jaytex1969]

I just snagged this device on the evilBay.

Auction link, more pics.
Anyone who's used one, please share your "pros and cons" and any usage tips.
Thanks.

There was one for sale locally as well. I wouldn't mind hearing some reviews too.

Don't have that brand but have that type of reamer. It's the only thing I've used for years, preferring it over my Butner, which I never use anymore.

Here's a link that shows the original manual. Looks pretty straight forward to use.

Great for cylindrical bowls, but uneven on conical.

I actually can get the blades to conform fairly well to most parts of a conical bowl, or other bowls where they don't seem to want to conform to certain spots, if I start from the bottom, and pull up as I tighten it each time.

What balkisobrains said.

I gave up on all of them, and get my best results with the clip blade on my Case XX Stockman.

This type works decent. I do inital reaming on some estates with it.

Nice looking pipe tool! I only have a British Buttner reamer.

I like vintage, I may take a stroll through the "evilBay" listings ...

Another brand to keep an eye out for is Pipnet.
