This is a new ‘segment’ I’m going to have on my blog. For now I will call it “Cool Tools” (unless I come up with a better name). It will just be where I tell about a tool that I find to be very handy, interesting, or just plain awesome. I don’t know how frequent this type of post will come up, but I guess it will be just when I find a tool that is worthy of being accepted into the Backroom Workdesk’s prestigious Cool Tool’s segment (Lol).
This is a new ‘segment’ I think I’m going to have on my blog. For now I will call it “Cool Tools” (unless I come up with a better name).

So the first tool I’m going to talk about is the Harbor Freight Circuit Board Reamer. The reason I have decided to write about this tool is because I have found it to be extremely handy to keep on my desk. I have never used it for circuit boards (and probably never will) but I have used it many times for various things. The main thing I use it for is to ream out the holes on servo horns to accept bigger wires.
This tool has two ends – one is square and one is round. They both come to a sharp point. I normally use the square end because it ‘cuts’ better, but I have used the round end a few times.
So you might be thinking to yourself, “Big deal. It’s pretty much just an awl.” Well, yeah it kinda is. But I’d highly recommend you pick one up and just keep it on your workdesk because you will quickly find many tasks that his tool is great for. For $1.99 you can’t beat it!
