Apparently it's some sort of collectibles. The guy said someone from Australia wanted these for his collection.

I have been looking for a set of reamers for a long time. Finally this old USA made set, adjustable manual reamers with pilots came along at what I considered a decent price.

I know some people consider the adjustable reamers pretty useless but I'm hoping they'd be just fine for the odd fine adjustment I need to make to a hole. Sure, I'd rather have fixed sizes but the prices on those are pretty crazy. This set covers holes from a little less than 1/2 inch to about 1-1/16.

Adjustable reamers are way to hard to use . You should drop them off here and I will store them with the rest of us vintage tools .

I have a cheap set of adjustable reamers, and I can easily use them to --














--MAKE A COMPLETE MESS.
:violin: :violin: :violin:

I don't know if it's the lack of quality, the lack of user skill, or the lack of user patience to dial them in properly. But SOMETHING is lacking.

So they sit there in the reamer drawer, ready if I need them. While I hope and pray that I DON'T need them.

It seems your experience is pretty common from what I've been reading on machinists forums, even for quality adjustable reamers. Very few accounts of using them successfully. Oh well, I guess it's about 15% chance I may be able to use them ok. When I get to do the bushing for the 644 loader repair I'll find out. :33:
