Abstract: Various downhole tools, such as drilling motors, drilling tools, reamer tools, casing reamer shoes, and related methods of installation, assembly and use. Casing reamer shoes and drilling reamers or motors may have internal impellers, progressive cavity pumps, hollow rotors and other parts, universal joints, and other features. A progressive cavity section may have a rotor and a stator. Rotor contacting surfaces of the stator, and stator contacting surfaces of the rotor, may be rigid during use. The stator contacting surfaces and the rotor contacting surfaces may be made of metal. After the casing is run, the casing is cemented and the reamer shoe drilled out.
