Who are you guys renting reamers from? I had an "iffy" experience with 4D recently and probably won't be using them again.

I rented and used a reamer from them a couple months ago, sent it back and got an email this week that the reamer was damaged during my use. It is possible, but two months later seems skeptical to me. I asked them why the delay but no response...

Had the same experience... I've been gunsmithing for 52 years, have numerous reamers and have never had any of them damaged. Rented a .32-20 (floating pilot) reamer. Inspected it prior to use and after use. Cleaned it and the day following use returned it to them. Two months later rec'd an email stating it had been damaged. When I returned it to them it was in perfect condition. Had no choice but to pay $171.95 to have it resharpened. Winn not use 4-D Reamer Rental again. I now use Elk Ridge Reamer.

I'm not a fan. Same shady practices. I am also not a fan of a statement they have on their emails that they "Appreciate the business from their "friendly customers". They also try to rent their dies at a price one can purchase for the same rental price.

i would buy one new and resell it on the forum when done. you have no time limit and will not lose much money
