Champion SA80-1-1/8 Car Reamer Stainless Steel 1-1/8in Hand Tool

Description

Product Overview

The Champion SA80-1-1/8 Car Reamer is engineered for professional automotive technicians and serious DIY enthusiasts who demand accuracy and durability. Crafted from high‑grade stainless steel, the reamer resists corrosion and maintains sharp cutting edges even after repeated use. Its 1‑1/8in straight shank is compatible with most standard hand drills, allowing seamless integration into existing toolsets. The design incorporates a safety collar that automatically limits penetration depth, protecting both the workpiece and the operator. A 30‑degree left‑hand helix efficiently evacuates chips away from the cutting zone, reducing heat buildup and extending tool life. The reamer measures 7.25 x 1.44 x 1.44 inches and weighs just one pound, offering a balanced feel that minimizes user fatigue during extended sessions.

Whether you are restoring classic vehicles, performing routine maintenance, or fabricating custom parts, the SA80-1-1/8 provides the precision needed to achieve tight tolerances. The safety collar ensures consistent depth, making it ideal for repetitive tasks such as aligning bolt holes or preparing mounting points for accessories. Its robust construction also makes it suitable for light industrial use, including machinery repair and metal fabrication where clean, round holes are essential. The ergonomic straight shank allows for easy attachment to a variety of drill presses, hand drills, or rotary tools, giving you flexibility across different work environments.
