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.

Great deal quick shipping Thanks

I purchased an Irwin 1/4" NPT tap and this 1/4" to 1/2" tap T-handle thinking the handle would work fine for the 1/4" tap. However, the tap handle tool is too small for the Irwin 1/4" NPT tap. The end of the 1/4" tap to be inserted into the T-handle is square shaped and slightly more than a 1/2" across; won't fit. So be aware that a tap's end size for T-handle insertion can be much larger than the stated tap size. The T-Handle quality appears to be fine, but just too small for the tap I purchased.

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.

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.

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

This tool worked nicely. It was smooth. Got to be careful to not over tighten the tap in the jaws!

Works as advertised.

Buen precio calidad

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

Good

Unfortunately this handle did not fit the half inch tap that I wanted to use it on.
