Wow, this stinks. I have a nice, well used Ridge reamer that my dads dad bought. It has been passed around and handed down. I dig it out of my tool box all excited that I finally get a bit of time to pull out the pistons from my 289, and it only has the one centering collar/shoulder on it, and that collar is a 3-7/8" thru 4-1/8" collar and I dont have any of the others from the set. It is an All Power style that you have to unbolt the collar/shoulder part and replace it for larger and smaller bores.
Anyway, I start to look online for another one and I cant believe what some want on ebay. I went to Snap-on online and they have a nice one for $59 and the same looking one on ebay, not labeled a Snap-on were all over $68 + shipping....seems wierd to be able to buy a brand one name with a good {lifetime?} warranty for about $10 less that from "who knows where" on ebay.
But ultimately I found a barely used Snap-on one on ebay for $40 including shipping....figure even if it is bad or breaks I should be able to exchange it from my buddies Snap-on truck guy.
Oh well, just venting I guess.
