Review on RIDGID 34945 Straight Reamer 8 Inch by Russ Mashlan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Will work properly after repair

Arrived incorrectly fitted. The ratchet was rotated 180 degrees so the cutting teeth rotated back and did nothing. I had to disassemble and fix it to get the teeth rotating in the correct direction (clockwise). Now it works fine. The quality of Ridgid isn't what it used to be. I recently had two matrices that didn't work or broke after a few uses. I first started using Ridgid products in 1978.

Pros
  • Model S reamer suitable for use with electric drives
Cons
  • New competitors available
