It would certainly be prudent for you to realise that it's spelled "adjustable" reamer. Whether it would be prudent for you to buy any depends on what you want them for. For removing small amounts of material by hand from bores of non standard sizes they are ideal. For reaming multiple items to the same size on a machine tool they are not ideal.
The J&L own brand ones use the same blades as Taylor and Jones ones (the best) but at half the price. I commend them to you if you decide to go that route.

Thanks Dave, I`ll go for the fixed sizes, Pete
Cocky basket!
It might be better if you were to look up the past tense of the verb 'to spell' prior to criticising others.
'Spelt' is the word you require.
Meaning: To use the correct combination of letters for a word
Conjugation of 'To Spell' Base Form - Spell Past Simple - Spelt/Spelled Past Participle - Spelt/Spelled
3rd Person Singular - Spells Present Participle/Gerund - Spelling-- Dave Baker
LOL This is "uk" rec.models.engineering isn't it? When did the yanks take over?

Strange site. They can't spell 'contributor' themselves I've never heard of 'clapt' as a past participle for clap, it's not in my dictionary. Sounds unpleasant to me!
