Product Description
A flexible ball-hone tool designed for refurbishing brake cylinders, hydraulic bores, and valve guides. The abrasive-tipped flexible shaft conforms to the bore for even cross-hatch finishing. Ideal for automotive brake technicians and hydraulic component rebuilders.
Key Features:
- Flexible shaft conforms to the bore diameter for consistent, even abrasive contact
- Restores proper surface finish on brake cylinders, hydraulics, and valve guides
- 8" overall length reaches typical brake cylinder and valve guide bore depths
- Abrasive globules embedded on flexible filaments prevent gouging or bore damage
- Compatible with a hand drill for quick, controlled honing
- Covers a full range of small bore sizes from 1/2" to 3" in a single product line
- Extends component life by properly finishing the bore surface before reassembly
Technical Specifications:
| Bore Size | 1" (25.4mm) |
| Weight | 1.0 lbs |
| Overall Length | 8" |
| Shipping Weight | 1.0 lbs |
| Material Composition | Abrasive globules on flexible steel filament shaft |
| Voltage/Amperage | Not applicable |
Materials & Construction:
Abrasive globules are permanently bonded to flexible steel filaments, which flex outward under rotation to match the bore diameter. This self-centering, flexible design is what allows one tool to finish a bore evenly without the rigidity (and gouging risk) of a solid hone.
Use Cases:
- Brake technicians refurbishing wheel and master cylinder bores
- Hydraulic component rebuilders finishing cylinder bores
- Valve guide refinishing during engine rebuild work
Included Items:
- (1) Flex-Hone tool in the selected bore size
Compatibility:
Used with a standard hand drill; sized specifically to the bore diameter selected.
Brush Research Manufacturing is the original inventor of the Flex-Hone and remains the industry-standard name in flexible cylinder honing tools trusted across automotive and industrial rebuilding.
