Look at how smooth that is. Now, this little specialty tool is a pencil reamer. You can see this copper pipe right here. You can see that it's got a little lip on it. It's a little bur. What you want to do is after you cut it, you just want to get rid of that lip. You want to make sure that there's a smooth flow of water through your pipe. Go around it. And you can see those little pieces of copper. It's just taking the edge right off of that copper. It's pretty awesome. These things really are great. I mean, you can see the difference. Look at that jagged edge, right? And then now smooth and clean. When you cut plastic pipe, go right around there and look at that. Bam. That's one cut around and you've already made this awesome smooth pipe. Didn't have a countersink bit, you could take your pencil reamer and you could actually counter sync with it. This has come in so handy for odd little jobs. I know it's a specialty tool, but I keep finding uses for it. You guys use these things for anything else?
