    Fast, easy to use. I lubricated with transmission fluid. Took glaze off fast and left nice crosshatch. You must move quickly up and down. Lubricate hone between each cylinder.

    The only gripe I have is that it got hung up in the bottom of the cylinders and at one point it pulled one of the nylon bristles (with the balls on them), partway out, so that it was longer than the rest. I had to cut it off. Perhaps there is nothing to be done about this, but it was constantly getting hung-up in holes and crevices at the base of the cylinder.

    Great tool, used this on a 305 chevy and made a excellent hone on each cylinder, even and consistent on each cylinder.

    Works to re-hone a cylinder by yourself if you dont want or cant take the block to the machine shop, wich, of course, would be the only proper way to rebuild an engine. I had an engine that was seized from rust in one of the cylinders and this hone was able to clean it up enough to put this thing back on the road. it didnt remove the rust pitting but it made it smooth enough so I couldnt feel it with my fingernail.

    I bought this because the idiots i work with pretend to be LS experts. So far everything theyve said has been wrong. They said LS engines cylinder walls will be ruined with a ball hone. So I bought the best ball hone which comes sized perfectly for my engine Im building. Makes perfect cross hatchs. Good product.

    Needed to buy this when I was rebuilding my motor for my 3000gt. Worked beautifully. Crossed hatched nicely and will buy another when it is time to rebuild the motor in my truck and my motorcycle.

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.
