Hand reamer YATO YT-28965, length 310 mm, single-piece manual reamer

The YATO YT-28965 hand reamer is a single-piece manual tool with an overall length of 310 mm, designed for precision enlargement and finishing of existing holes. Built for metalworking and maintenance tasks, this hand reamer provides controlled material removal and consistent hole sizing. Its compact form factor and single-piece construction make it suitable for both workshop and field use where manual reaming is required.

Advantages

This hand reamer offers accurate cutting geometry for uniform hole finishes and stable diameter control during manual operation. The single-piece design improves rigidity and reduces the risk of misalignment compared with multi-component tools. At 310 mm length the tool reaches recessed or deeper holes while remaining manageable by hand. The tool is intended for durable use in routine maintenance and metalworking tasks where precise hole sizing is important.

Suitable for

• Finishing and sizing of existing holes in metal components
• Field maintenance and on-site repair work
• Workshop use for mechanical fitting and assembly tasks
• Applications requiring controlled, manual material removal

When it may not be suitable

This manual hand reamer is not intended for creating new holes from solid stock; it is designed to enlarge or finish pre-drilled holes. It may be less efficient than powered reaming or machining for high-volume production runs or very hard materials where specialized powered equipment is preferred.

Key specifications

• Tool type: single-piece manual hand reamer
• Overall length: 310 mm
• Primary use: precision enlargement and finishing of existing holes
• Suitable materials: metalworking applications (steel and similar metals)
• Operation: manual, hand-driven

How to use

Select a reamer size matching the required final hole diameter and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Start reaming by aligning the tool with the existing hole and apply steady, controlled turns while maintaining axial alignment. Use light cutting pressure and clear chips frequently; reverse the reamer occasionally to break and remove swarf. Finish with a consistent number of passes until the required diameter and surface finish are achieved. Use appropriate cutting fluid for metalworking to reduce friction and improve finish.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that the reamer diameter matches the required final hole size
• Assess whether manual reaming meets your production volume and material hardness needs
• Ensure you have the means to hold the workpiece securely during manual operation
• Consider using appropriate cutting fluids and chip removal practices for metalworking

Usage recommendations

For best results, clamp the workpiece rigidly, use suitable cutting fluid, and feed the reamer with steady, controlled strokes. Inspect the hole periodically with proper measuring tools to avoid oversizing and to achieve the desired finish.
