IRWIN Hanson 12002 T-Handle Tap Wrenches, 1/4" - 1/2"

I used this with a BILITOOLS 3/8-16 inch Thread Repair Kit for repairing threads on a lawn mower engine block, and it worked as expected. Like any tool, you want a good quality one, something that will last, complete the job, and not break. This tool fits the description.

Great tap holder.

The T handle here was made well and would serve it purpose if i needed this. but because i ordered another product that went with this and turned out i messed up the thread size, which was my fault. I no longer needed this. Seemed well made and would serve it purpose.

I bought this to hold a tap. The tap fit in it just fine. The screw down part to hood the tap loosens very easily. I had to crank down on it with pliers to keep the tap in the jaws from coming loose. I have other Irwin hand tools that are really nice. This was not up to the standard I expected.

Great deal quick shipping Thanks

Bought this to go along with my 7/16" 3 tap set I bought on here as well. It's nice to have this tap wrench, as the handle can be offset, so you can clear things that might be in the way on one side of where you are working (like up against a wall or something). Not only that, you'd have to work hard to put enough force on this to break a larger tap, unlike the tap handles that give you far more leverage. Even still, this tap handle was very easy to use, and didn't wear my hands out trying to get it through the frame I was working on. Tapped about 50 holes, and not once was there an issue with this. Nice also that it adjusts to the different tap sizes, so you don't need quite so many handles.

This tap handle does NOT accommodate 1/2 inch taps. Max would be 3/8

I have US and metric sets of tap & dies from that discount tool store (farbor hreight). I am only a hobbyist, use them rarely, but the tap wrench included doesn't hold the taps well. This one works great. I have also replaced some of the taps I use frequently with better quality. If you struggle with a bad handle, or don't have one at all, this is great. Note - there are different sizes of handles, so make sure you get the right size for your taps.

Works as advertised.

Buen precio calidad

Great piece of kit. Should have bought one years ago.

Good

Works great. Just a bit hard to secure bit and then very hard to release it after using. Perhaps doing something wrong?
