Pipe Reamer AFA Tooling Inner/Outer 3/8″-2″ for Copper Steel PVC

Description

Product Overview

The AFA Tooling Pipe Reamer is engineered to provide a reliable solution for deburring and reaming a wide range of pipe materials. Featuring both inner and outer cones, the tool presents 45 precisely ground cutting edges that engage the pipe wall evenly, removing burrs and expanding the bore with minimal effort. Its hardened steel construction ensures long‑term durability, resisting wear even after repeated use on abrasive materials such as copper, stainless steel, PVC, and aluminium. The ergonomic aluminum handle is designed for comfort, offering a secure grip that reduces hand fatigue during extended projects. With a capacity to accommodate pipe diameters from 3/8″ up to 2″, this reamer fits the needs of professional tradespeople and dedicated DIYers alike.

Usage

When working on residential or commercial plumbing installations, the reamer excels at preparing pipe ends for soldering, compression fittings, or mechanical connections. Simply insert the tool into the pipe, rotate gently, and allow the cutting edges to smooth the interior and exterior surfaces. The dual‑cone design makes it equally effective for cleaning the inside of conduit, removing excess material from the outside, and ensuring a perfect fit for connectors. Electricians can also benefit from the tool when preparing conduit for pulling wires, while hobbyists find it indispensable for custom projects involving metal, plastic, or composite tubing. Its lightweight design and intuitive operation mean that even users with limited experience can achieve professional‑grade results quickly.

In addition to standard plumbing tasks, the reamer is valuable for maintenance work such as clearing corrosion buildup, reshaping worn pipe sections, and preparing surfaces for repainting or coating. The tool’s versatility extends to automotive and marine applications where pipe diameters often fall within the specified range, allowing mechanics to address fuel line or coolant system repairs with confidence.
