Abstract
A pipe cleaning tool has a longitudinally extending hollow shaft with a honer head on the forward end and stabilizing legs behind the honer head. The shaft is adapted to be connected to a machine for pulling the tool through the pipe while rotating the tool such that the cutting elements on the reamer head remove debris from the inside wall of the pipe. The legs center and stabilize the reamer head to prevent contact with the internal pipe wall during the cleaning operation. Water or other lubricating fluid is ejected from the shaft during use of the tool to lubricate the tool in the pipe, and to flush loose debris out of the path of the tool.
