"Steel circular file teeth appear to be very durable - we'll see about that after several years. Note that according to Ridgid this is for tubing or conduit not steel water pipe. (I suspect that in a pinch it would work OK - hardened steel.)."
"This is the PERFECT deburring tool no matter what your field."
"So I keep one in a soldering bag, one in my plumbing bucket (use with Milwaukee press tool), and this latest will be with me beburring EMT. I haven't have to debur any stainless steel, so I can't comment on the efficacy there."
"Good chamfering tool, worth the money if you run copper pipe, also works on plastic."
"I just received this and tried it out on Type M rigid copper and soft 1/4" OD copper tubing."
"used this on different thicknesses of copper lines, worked very well and really helps you get a clean flare."
"What can I say..... it's Ridgid!"

"Gorgeous tool, very nice construction."
"CAUTION: Until the tool rotating mechanism 'loosens' a bit, don't move the 'poker' tool from the tip."
"I look forward to a long life for this little guy =). *Not especially easy to clean because of the design, but get some rubbing alcohol and you should be good to go."
"After years of using my thumbs as tampers, I now realize what an idiot I’ve been!!!"
"Besides fulfilling its purpose very nicely, this tool looks really beautiful and is easy to maintain, it also fits the pocket on my boyfriend's leather pipe case, so it's perfect."
"I will probably buy a couple more of these for the price just so I can be lazy and leave em in a couple places and not have to go far to find one."
"My only complaint is that the rotating action on the tool set seems too stiff, and I worry that if I force it too hard or fast that the bronze ring holding the whole thing together might snap."

"Hand held reamer is 2 times the cost @ my local supply house. I have run roughly 12,000' of 3/4 EMT (it's made for EMT only) and it is holding up well."
"Reaming a few conduit ends by hand is fine, but if I have a lot of them to do, this bad boy will get them all done is short order."
"I've been pretty hard on it and haven't experienced any issues, so I don't know how others are managing to break the blade."
"Great reamer for a great price."
"Works better in a drill than impact."
"This thing is amazing."
"great tool, reams out conduit much quicker than i can do it with a file."

"This purchase was a good surprise on the upside."
"The "poker" was very helpful with an off-standard type of pipe that I tried today as was the "spoon/scoop.""
"It works, there are several much better pipe tools at essentially the same price or less, i.e.3 in1 Smoking Red Wood + Stainless Steel Tobacco Pipe Cleaning Tools Set from care4health413."
"It's a little bit long, longer than I thought, but, had I read the reviews before purchasing, I would have seen others mention this as this tool's only drawback."
"This thing is legit."
"Doesn't feel too bad to work with."
"Works great and easy to store, I keep it in my bag."

"I poke out the ash and dottle from the bottom of the pipe with the poker, scrape the extra carbon off the edges of the pipe with the reamer, and use the tamper while I smoke. This thing cost less than 4 dollars w/ free shipping and it looks great. I highly recommend this pipe tool."
