CRB Steel Turning Mandrels – 18" with Collars (1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16")

Made my sanding like 2x easier 😭. I 100% recommend to buy this or have it mudhole include this in the pro wrapper g2

Excellent mandrill for gluing and or turning cork. Make sure you use a release agent before use so it does not stick. I recommend this product and will buy again

They work very well I wish I would’ve got a second son and my pieces together. I’ll put them back on it to Dry. I have to wait for the piece of drive before I can start something else.

I purchased 2. Not to turn grips, but rather to use my power wrapper to remove braid line from reels and put into a spool, only then to despoil my reels with the fresh line on top and the older highly used line on the base. I eventually started using them to turn and sand grips. The locking collars help if you need to pinch your item onto the mandrel, such as an old line spool. They’re high quality. I’m actually considering installing a gimbal onto one end so that I can secure it to my power wrapper chuck easier. I seem to only need to have one side open or able to slide items onto or off of this thing.

Precision made of good quality drill stock works great. But wax the mandrel good before putting cork rings on for turning.

These mandrel are tops for turning cork and eva grips. They are very true when placed in my lathe.

Great

I bought a few of these to start building my own grips. They work great but keep a few things in mind.

1. I ordered a few extra collars to put a thicker OD on the end and help the jaws on the power wrapper grip it.

2. If you use a hammer to loosen the grip from the mandrel when finished, it may "mushroom" the end making it difficult to remove a collar.

Keeping those things in mind. This is the perfect tool to build your custom rod grips.

Hard to find a mandrel long enough to do my grips but sure enough, Mud Hole has them. And for a good price too. No problems using the 1/4 on my lathe. It is indeed a little longer than needed, which puts a little flex in the long span, however no issues using it. I’ve done many 7” and a couple 10/11” grips on it.

Works as should

Work as they should

I purchased this for making a fly rod cork handle. It is well make, no excessive flex when sanding a cork handle. I was being taught how to make cork handles, and was shown other rod material to use. While the other products were more economical, they were of lesser quality. I will be buying another 14 inch mandrel.

Glad was able to finally get size i needed. Works great

Great product anr value

Perfect for my needs.

Good value for money.

They work very well and fit the handles well

Easy to use little bit of wax and everything came off nice and simple. Good product I recommend.

This mandrel is of hi quality hardened stock , accurate thru out, turns true with no wobbles, should last along time. I would highly recommend this mandrel.

Nice product, used them on a couple ice rods

It’s a mandrel - a steel rod not much to review but it works fine and the sizes fit- be sure to get the wax though if you have a mold release wax? Same same but you need to epoxy the EVA to the mandrel

Only mandrels I’ll use, work great, collars stay in place.

Sturdy and work well with my lathe. Has made turning my grips that much easier.
