> 3 dayWith the sub zero temperatures weve been experiencing here in January 2022, de-burring is greatly desired. Oh, but youre right... this tool set does absolutely nothing for weather conditions. For removing the burrs on drilled holes in metal along with milled edges on bar stock, this is a great set.

> 3 dayI usually do good then bad. Im going to reverse this. BAD: I read another review that said the storage space inside the handle was too small to hold the blades. That is NOT true. That user just didnt know what they were doing. In the end cap that is removed to access the storage there are slots, about 10 of them, to hold blades. If blades are seated in those slots the storage area holds them just fine. If instead the user just tries dumping them into the storage area, they ARE too long. Dont do dumb & itll hold the blades just fine. There is an issue, though, with the storage. The release buttons are positioned so that it is nearly impossible to remove the end cap. You have to push both buttons & then pry the end cap off. If youre fingers were the size of chopsticks, yet you had the strength of a grown man, itd be fine, but even tiny fingers are far too large to push the buttons. The surrounding plastic prohibits it. I got around this by pushing on each button alternately with a tiny screwdriver, forcing it incrementally one side, then the next, then back again, until I got it out. So that I dont have to repeat this ridiculousness I put the cap back in without allowing the buttons to protrude in their designated slot. Now I just have to pull the cap off to access the storage area. The blades arent labeled, nor is there a spot to hold one set of them, making the whole blade storage pack seem lack an afterthought from a hung-over designer whos head hurts too much to do anything useful. The system that allows you to extend the blade also allows you to retract it so far you cant change the blade. Its easily remedied, but is still a dumb design flaw. The mechanism for extending the blade is very stiff & hard to activate. GOOD: Ergonomic. Feels pretty good in my hand. Extended reach feature is snazzy, locking in place at set intervals, and extends quite far. It seems like a decent value, but longevity of the blades is yet unknown.

> 3 dayI previously wrote a 1 star review because the item had not been delivered on time as promised. However, it did arrive, albeit, three days late. The product is as described and very nice.

> 3 dayThis is FAR better for deburring than trying to use a countersink drill bit. The 2-edge design cuts way better, especially by hand. I should have bought one of these 10 years ago. Gives that nice, zero-drama finish to any drilled hole. Comes with 2 diameters, so you can get into smaller/deeper spots with it. My only complaint is that it doesnt ratchet. Cant take a star off; it still works well, and its well worth the money.

> 3 dayGot into 3D printing and needed to do some minor trim work. Posts on a couple sites mentioned this brand, so gave it a try. Works great, has a good assortment of blade types so I can use on more than just my initial need. Pro/Con: The cap at the end of the handle was a bit hard to initially get off. After a few times of taking on/off it got better and I suppose that is good so I wont lose any blades once put in there. Overall a solid buy.
