Reader Find: Snap-on Deburring Tool
By Chuck Cage
Trevor D. says that while this tool isn’t amazing, it does work great and is one of this favorites around the shop. He writes: “Run the reamer/deburring tool along the edge of a motor’s mating gasket surface, around freshly drilled holes, leading edges of oil seal cavities, and so on and – bam! – you get burr-free edges insuring a perfect seal and gouge free entry of any parts that will go right past that edge. I use mine on steel, aluminum, plastic, you name it.”
The one pictured above is from Snap-on and is most certainly a nicer version than the decades-old one we have here. And, at just $30 it might be worth coughing up the cash for a quality version. If you’re looking for one on the cheap, though, you can find them (via the search below) starting around $6.

Buy the ones Noga and Vargus makes, don’t waste money on the Snap-On name, it looks exactly like any other deburring tool that I’ve seen.
They are handy tools though, and they make some very cool heads fro sheet metal and other deburring jobs.

I have the version sold at Sears (about $12) that also has replaceable tips (one extra tip included in the package). All that and less than half the price of Snap-on

The similar Noga tool (heavy duty with 5 blades, part # 4253A16) is $9 @ Mcmaster Carr.
