The Beadsmith Deluxe Diamond Coated Bead Reamer

The Beadsmith Deluxe Diamond Coated Bead Reamer

The Beadsmith Deluxe Diamond Coated Bead Reamer, a handled reamer with industrial-grade diamond files for enlarging bead holes and smoothing rough edges.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Files are coated with industrial-grade diamond for repeated use on glass, stone and pearl
  • + Made to both enlarge a drill hole and smooth its sharp edges so thread does not fray
  • + Beadsmith is an established jewelry tool brand, unlike most unbranded reamer sets

Trade-offs

  • - Roughly double the price of budget reamer sets
  • - Hand reaming hard stone beads is slow compared with a rotary tool
