    I am no expert on cylinder homing, but had no issue using this hone. It worked as expected and my cylinders are now honed. Just a few seconds per cylinder and the job was done. I only needed it for 2 cylinders so I dont know how durable it is, but it seems like it is good quality to me.

    It worked well for my SBC. I thought it should last longer than 1 V8 engine honing. Maybe its not supposed to, I dont know when I was done I noticed the dingle balls were smoothe.

    I have a 3000 mile freshly rebuild 355 sbc. Went with new rings rods and pistons.. A quick Hone to knock the glaze off was exactly what it needed. Does a great job !!

    Ordered a few different grits to take out some gunk and pits from an engine i am working on. You can definitely see the improvements and new life these products can provide under the right circumstances. Sadly for my case the damage to my engine is more than i feel comfortable dealing with, with a hone at least. Will be buying these products in the future for sure!!

    Did a quick hone of the cylinder walls while refreshing the engine over the winter, Bore size on my motor was 4.030

    I love this hone! It works great and no fuss. I used it on a 6.5 turbo diesel to remove surface rust and bring it back to running order for a rebuild

    Good Tool

The Flex-Hone® tool was originally created by Brush Research Manufacturing to deglaze cylinder walls in automotive applications. Brush Research embraced the benefits of a plateau finish and pioneered the concept of plateau honing culminating in the introduction of the Flex-Hone tool in 1972. The Flex-Hone has gained many nicknames over the years and including ball hone, ball style hone, flexihone, dingleberry hone, bead brush, glaze breaker and glaze buster. Flexible honing with the Flex-Hone tool produces an oil holding cross hatch pattern and a true plateau finish free of cut, torn and folded metal. Any type or size of cylinder can benefit from the Flex-Hone®. These abrasive bead style brushes are produced in standard diameters from 4mm to 36 inches. Nine abrasive types are offered including silicon carbide, aluminum oxide, boron carbide and diamond allowing the tool to be tailored to finish any base material. A choice of 11 different grit selections are available for precise control of finish parameters. The elimination of peaks results in rapid ring seating, better oil control, reduced seepage in hydraulic and pneumatic applications and provides better seal performance and longer seal life. Successful applications include firearm chambers, shotgun barrels, musical instruments, combustion chambers, air compressors, pumps, valve bodies, valve guides, brake cylinders, wheel cylinders and the list goes on and on. Flex-Hone® tools are also very effective for deburring cross drilled holes, port radiusing and edge blending. Because of its unique construction, the Flex-Hone is self-centering, self-aligning, and self-compensating for wear so it does not require an elaborate set-up or special training. Deburring can be effectively automated and combined in the machining process to allow a complete cylinder finish in one operation or it can be employed as a secondary operation with equal results.
