All along, I've been using an x-acto knife to clean up the inside corners of the ends of tubes. It's quick and easy, and I have plenty of them on my workbench. I kind of smirked at the "deburring tools" in the catalogs - they make sense for tough materials like steel, but a knife works just fine on brass.
Well, I was placing an order at LMS and the deburring tool was cheap, so on a lark I went ahead and got one.

What a difference! It works way better than a knife. It's hard to explain, since a knife does the job so well, but the deburring tool is actually quicker and more predictable.
It's probably not worth spending a lot on or paying for shipping, but if you have a chance to get one for 2 or 3 bucks piggy-backed on an order you're paying shipping for anyway (or buying locally), I think it's well worth that much.
