One fantastic produc
Used this to hone both cylinders of a 22 hp Briggs VTwin lawn tractor engine that needed a new connecting rod, a new piston and 2 sets of rings. Honing the cylinders is needed to allow the rings to break in and seat properly. Since I don’t expect to do this regularly I was between a cheap set of honing stones for around $20 and the Flex hone which I’d seen on YouTube and was selling on Amazon for $37. The reviews on the honing stones were terrible (cheaply made and inconsistent result) and the flex tool reviews while not numerous were mostly positive. Several excellent YouTube videos by the manufacturer and a call to the seller about whether the 3 inch (180 grit) tool would be good for my 2.96 inch cylinder convinced me it would be worth the extra cost for the Flex hone tool. What a FANTASTIC result in less than 10 minutes to do both cylinders following the video instructions of coating the tool with clean oil and moving in and out of each cylinder for 1 minute. Perfect cross hatched pattern on both. Great tool and good value considering the $200 of parts and many hours of labor to complete this project.

Worked on my U-Joint Yoke Bores
Good product for smoothing out the yoke bores on my Corvette drive shafts. After forty years and 90,000 miles, the bores had become lightly faceted and had a few scratches on the surface. But after a few passes with this honing tool lubed with WD40, they look great and the new U-joint bearing caps will still fit tight inside the yokes, which is what you want. Because of the properties of the hone, I bought one oversized by approximately 1/4” which was perfect. And I used my battery-powered drill to run the hone until the bores looked good and clean. You just want to thoroughly clean off the slurry this process creates, so have handy paper towels and a parts or brake cleaner spray. Thank you for reading and good luck with your project.

Nice finish with little effort.
Great item. Purchased to fit a 68mm 2-stroke cylinder. This size in my opinion was perfect. 15-20 strikes in each cylinder with a good amount of Duck Oil and it came out perfectly cross-hatched. Great item for the money.
