Works well. I used it to re-cut the removed brake mount bushing. The instructions, especially when it comes to using Prewind, could be a lot better. What annoys me is that it doesn't come with multiple inserts of different lengths. I don't know how durable the faucet is as I've only used it once on magnesium. As for the reviews complaining about the wear and tear, I'm wondering if they used any type of cutting oil.
