Lisle 15000 Engine Cylinder Hone

This rigid hone trued-up +/- 1.5 thousandths out of round and tapered cylinders with little effort for new piston ring installation. Very satisfied with performance. The included 80 grit stone eats through material fast and the micrometer adjustment (with included 120 grit stone) allows you to get really close to final finish. Finished-up with a ball hone for a really nice bore. The stone racks where in backwards so study the included directions. Simple to place racks in correct position.

Used one before. Works professionally.

Received the hone fast and in good shape except it wasn't shipped with the correct stone set. Called Lisle customer service and they sent the correct stones promptly free of charge. Very happy with Lisle products and customer service. Thank you.

My first order arrived with both stone sets broken. Everything comes in a plastic case with no padding or separation at all. The hone collides with everything in the plastic case and with the first order, in my case broke both sets of stones. The replacement order I thought came in with no damage but when I went to use the finer stone set I discovered one of the stones was in fact broken. I will say, I really like the hone! It performs very well and comes with easy to understand instructions. The Lisle 15000 would have easily earned a FIVE star rating if not for the broken stones... I recommend ordering hone and stones separately !!!

WOW! That pretty much sums up the words needed to describe this tool. I bought this to hone out the cylinders in a Ford Ranger 3.0 I recently got. The previous owner ran it hot. Super hot. Three pistons were melted and the cylinders had minor scoring. I was able to use this tool to take out .003 of material with ease. Also making the cylinders true in the process. Only complaint would be that the stones seem to wear out fast but I took out a good bit of material from 3 cylinders and still have enough meat to do another engine most probably. I would recommend this tool for anyone that does any engine work. It's easy to set up and use and way cheaper than sending the block in to the machine shop.

Genuine Lisle hone should last for years.

Although I bout this used option.lisle needs to step up there packaging.the stones get beat around and broke

Not for boring an inline cylinder engine to fit oversize pistons. The stones pivot and increase the cylinder taper. Possibly using an extremely low rpm drill with cutting oil and low side wall pressure you might reduce taper, but when machine shops will bore a block for 20 dollars a hole. This hone is a complete waste of time. Three stone spring type hones beat it to bad to talk about when it comes to leaving hatch marks. Going on the reviews, I thought I'd give it a try. I wish I could get a refund, as I gave it every chance to perform and it is a big disappointment. If I can't get a refund I'll destroy this disappointment so no one else will get expecting results this tool isn't capable of producing.
