No one has mentioned the difference between chucking reamers and hand reamers.The most obvious difference is:
Chucking reamers have a straight shank. They cut on a 45º at the end of the reamer.
Hand reamers have a square end to fit in a tap driver. They cut on a long angle perhaps 3/4 of an inch long, depending on the diameter.
I expect there are exceptions to this so I'm prepared to be corrected.
