Very few accounts of using them successfully. Oh well, I guess it's about 15% chance I may be able to use them ok.

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.

I would like to request a write up when you use them. I figured you would document the process when you get to that point, but I thought I’d throw it out there. I have no experience with reamers so I like to see how they work, successfully or not I think it would be interesting.
