The RIDGID 34955 Model 2-S Spiral Pipe Reamer is a hand reamer designed for fast, clean deburring of pipe and sheet metal from 1/4 inch to 2 inches. Its self-feeding spiral design pulls the tool into the work, so you can remove burrs with less effort.
RIDGID Model 2-S Reamer: Fast, Even Hand Reaming
Use it to smooth cut pipe ends, enlarge conduit box outlets, and deburr sheet metal edges. The spiral flutes deliver a smooth finish without the chatter of straight-fluted reamers. This tool is meant for hand use only—do not use it in power tools.
Capacity and Suitability
The 1/4-inch to 2-inch range covers most residential and light commercial plumbing and electrical work. The hardened steel construction holds up to repeated use.
Self-feeding spiral: pulls itself into the work for faster reaming.
1/4" - 2" capacity: handles common pipe and sheet metal sizes.
Precision-ground flutes: produce smooth, clean edges.
Hand tool only: designed for controlled manual use.
Features
Self-feeding spiral design cuts faster and smoother than standard reamers.
Deburrs pipe, sheet metal, and conduit box outlets from 1/4" to 2".
Precision-ground steel flutes create clean edges with minimal effort.
Hand use only—ideal for controlled, accurate reaming.
The spiral flutes on this RIDGID reamer distribute cutting pressure continuously, so you get a smooth, even edge without the bounce you can feel with a straight-fluted design. The self-feeding action also makes it easier to keep your wrist steady, especially on larger pipe.
Hand Reaming vs. Power Reaming
Power reamers are fast but can easily gouge soft pipe or sheet metal. A hand reamer gives you the control to remove just the burr and produce a clean, ready-to-connect surface. This RIDGID tool is built for that kind of precise, controlled work.

Good tool for the price
I bought this to deburr some copper pipe I was installing. It does the job quickly. The self-feeding action is nice.

Still the best pipe reamer
I've been in the plumbing trade for over 30 years and I've used many reamers. This RIDGID is my favorite because it self-feeds and doesn't chatter. It easily handles 1/2 to 2 inch pipe. The cutting edges remain sharp after many uses. Definitely a must-have for any plumber.

Good solid tool
It's a well-made reamer. The spiral design pulls the pipe in. My only complaint is it could come with a handle, but I can use it with pliers.
