Looking for a thread that had a youtube video of different honing tools & which one worked better, like a ball hone versus a 3 finger hone.

I have to disagree Rusty, I've used a handheld 3 stone on dozens of refreshes over the decades, with great success .
And custom made Scotchbrite "shoes" to fit over the stones, for final finish on moly rings .
Cheers .
You're certainly free to do so!
