Review: Works great to chamfer drilled holes in sheet aluminum - I wish I got this sooner. I use it to remove burrs and sharp edges from holes drilled in a sheet aluminum musical effects pedalboard. Works much better for this specific application than the reamer I previously used. This is easy to use, fast and effectively smooths the holes, leaving a professional smooth result. So there are no issues with wires or fingers getting cut on sharp metal edges or nasty burrs. I use a black sharpie to darken the topside appearance of the raw metal holes, and it looks like a professional machine shop did the work.
Review: 5.0 out of 5 stars Value priced, meets or exceeds description, works as advertised and is a value. - I purchase several things on desertcart and was giving pretty in-depth reviews. From this point on, here's the new agenda…. if it works as advertised, is well made, meets or exceeds the description, is a value, and arrives in a fair amount of time, it will get a "star rating" equal to what my expectations were/are. If it doesn't meet these criteria, then I will most definitely and descriptively tell the short comings of the products and you as a consumer will not have to go through the trouble of buying the product without some background knowledge. If the sell pulls that item and relists under another description, I will put the exact same review on the seller's feedback page. Sellers have done this a couple of times in the past, and I was true to my word then as well as now. DR

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it a one piece tool or does the bit slide out ?**
A: This is a one piece tool.

**Q: what is the countersink bit angle?**
A: The countersink bit removes stock to allow the head of a screw to sit flush in the hole

**Q: Will it work on 1/2" EMT conduit?**
A: I have used it on 1/2 conduit, and it works fine I do not do a huge amount of conduit bending right now.

**Q: Does it ratchet? It would be fantastic if it ratcheted instead of constantly lifting and repositioning your wrist/hand constantly!**
A: This tool does not ratchet,   I suggest that you look at and consider this item available from Amazon, the countersinks will work in just about any drill. https://www.amazon.com/External-Chamfer-Stainless-Countersink-Deburring/dp/B08GNZ22QL/ref=sr_1_8?crid=1DE2079GEFHLR&keywords=deburring+tools+for+metal&qid=1658354733&sprefix=deburing+tools%2Caps%2C93&sr=8-8

Excellent little deburring tool for the money. I only use it for aluminum so I don't anticipate any durability concerns.
