Product Information

Also known as a bladed deburrer or deburring knife, a pen reamer consists of a swivelling metal blade mounted on a handle. You use it to scrape round the inside of pipes, holes, tubes or sheet metal to remove burrs. However, great care is needed to avoid damaging the pipe with the sharp blade. If you’ve already done that, your item hasn’t arrived, or it’s not as described, you can report that to Etsy by opening a case. Some products may be delivered straight to your door from one of our suppliers and these products will be labelled within the product description.

At each tip of the tool is a wire brush, one for 15mm pipes and the other for 22mm ones. Insert the correct sized one into the end of the pipe and turn briskly to clean it inside. This type of tool is cheaper than the ratchet-handle variety, but requires more effort. This device costs about the same as a ratchet-handle pipe cleaner but may be less suitable for small spaces as it needs to be attached to a drill. It comes in 15mm (½”) and 22mm (¾”) sizes. A scouring pad is usually made of plastic and comes in various sizes, some types being more abrasive than others. Emery cloth is a disposable fabric strip which has been coated in small metallic or synthetic particles to make it abrasive. It is suitable for smoothing and polishing all types of metal pipe surfaces as well as removing paint or corrosion marks. Although much cheaper than a ratchet-handle cleaner, it is of course much less durable and cannot be used for cleaning the pipe inside.Other types have rows of abrasive metal teeth curled around the inside of the drum which are designed to only clean pipes on the outside.

They tend to cost more than a ratchet-handle cleaner but should be long lasting. They are usually made of steel and come in various sizes.

A wire brush is relatively cheap, can be used in small spaces and comes in a variety of sizes. However, it requires more elbow grease than a ratchet-handle pipe cleaner and is only suitable for cleaning pipes on the inside. A pipe reamer, or hand reamer, is often also known as a deburrer, and consists of a tapered steel head attached to a handle. Push the head into the pipe and rotate several times to cut away burrs inside the rim. You will need a separate method of polishing the pipe. These kinds of deburring tools are worth considering if you’re looking for a small, lightweight device that won’t take up much space in your toolbox. However, they all require rotating by hand and you might find the repetitive wrist action tiring after a while. Also, using a drill at too high a speed (more than 300 rpm) may damage the pipes, so there is more margin for error than with a manual tool. while another type, called a turbo tube cleaner, is equipped with a rotating wire brush at the front which you push into the pipe end before switching on the drill. To polish the outside, press the wire brush down into the body of the tool, pull the head forward and insert the pipe. The head is lined with rows of wire bristles which sweep across the pipe to clean it.

There are various types of electric drill attachments on the market which will both clean and deburr pipes. There are various types available. Some contain mesh strips which smooth and flatten out any roughness, together with an internal metal deburring head which gets rid of ridges inside the rim.
