## Description

desertcart.com: Starrett Tap Wrench with Tempered Gripping Surfaces - 1/16-1/4" Capacity Tap Size, 6" Body Length, 3/32-5/32" Square Shank - 91A : Tools & Home Improvement

Review: Quality tap wrench - This is a sturdy tap wrench that is very well made and a pleasure to use. I used it to tap 1/2"-13 threads into 27/64" holes in 3/4" aluminum. The wrench had no signs of breaking, and it was easy to start the tap straight. Pros: - Solid/sturdy construction - Easy to grip and turn. The knurling is excellent, as it really grips so you do not slip. The adjustment does not come loose unintentionally while using, unlike some cheaper Irwin tap wrenches (made in USA) I have. - A joy to use when you are tapping something by hand. This product feels like it will last. - Made in USA (not a global Starrett product) Cons: - Price ($122) - Threads were dirty/grinding, looks to have chips from manufacturing inside. Lightly cleaned out threads and used moly grease on rod end. - (Manufacturing defect) There is a ~1mm lip between the internal rod and the staked on bushing. This results in the adjusting end only contacting the center half of the rod, instead of the full tapered rod end inside. My other tap wrenches do not have this gap.
Review: A piece of art, which works perfectly. - Sterrett are an old, highly respected company who make highly accurate tools. I will confess, I am a fan of this company. I have many Sterrett measuring, cutting and layout tools. They have been in business since 1880. This is a tool for holding taps up to 1/4" (6.5mm) and cutting treads in metal holes for bolts. There are many competing tap holders which, for this purpose, will work ok and are cheaper. But this one you can pass on to your grand-kids, still functioning like new. Look at the body of the tool; it is forged out of one piece of tough, hardened and polished steel which glistens in the light. Like all my other Sterrett tools, it will be stored in it's original box after use and having been cleaned and a lite coat of oil applied. I inherited from my grandfather a Sterrett surveyors measuring tape covered in leather. It still works fine and the leather is still fine as well. My grandad died in 1953 and, according to my dad, used it in the 1930s. Only a rich man can afford cheap tools.

## Features

- Durable Construction - Starrett Tap Wrench is made from the highest quality of materials to produce strength and durability, perfect for any home improvement or professional workshop.
- Get a Strong Grip - The tempered gripping surface will hold your shanks tightly, giving you the leverage you need to finish the job on time. You can grip the round shanks with extra care, as excessive pressure may break the moveable V-jaw.
- Operate with Ease - It is plunger operated by a knurled sleeve, the spring inside the sleeve causes the plunger to back off when pressure is removed, making it easier to use.
- The Perfect Tool - A tap wrench is used together with a drill tap. It is the preferred tapping method for when precision tapping is required on prototypes, one-off, post-processing, and when minimal material exists around the hole.
- The Standard for Excellence - Proudly made in the USA, Starrett combines over 140 years of American heritage and innovation with globally sourced materials to deliver exceptional quality tools and products.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb Design
*by R***K on January 24, 2020*

I have not tapped many holes before, but now have a project requiring me to tap nearly 100 holes in extruded aluminum, so buying a quality tap wrench was easily justified. Mine was made in the U.S.A. and did not have the thread gunk that others have mentioned here (the first thing I did was take it apart to check). I loaded up my 5/16-18 tap and got to work. The way this feels in your hand when turning and spinning is fantastic. The handle tightens down well on the tap and doesn't come loose. The monolithic design is really worth the price of the tool in my opinion. No one likes tapping holes, so at least get some satisfaction by using a high quality tool during the process. In my case, I 3D printed a 3 inch long jig/template to affix to the end of my profiles to ensure I'm getting perpendicular taps (see photo). This method is working very well and I don't have to worry about the tap getting out of alignment on the first bite of the aluminum, especially since my extrusions are very long so I have to tap horizontally.
