Shocked Reedy Tools-Tap Handles

Post  dckrsn Thu Jul 08, 2021 9:16 pm

For the last few years, I've been trying to settle on a small tap handle, for
2-56, 5-40, and several nearby thread-tap sizes. I gave up on "T Handles",
because they were way too heavy handed for such a small task. I won't
feature my poor purchases  Mad , but I have a little faith in this one.

I know it's not a Starrett, but I'm at an age where I don't need a premium tool.
I tried a few pin vises, but they're mostly 3-jaw, and not really compatible
with a  tap. I don't like grabbing the cylindrical shank of the tap with just 
three jaws.
Just wondering, what you all were using?

I have several tap and die sets, the best being a vintage Craftsman, back when they offered quality tools. But I have never found a suitable tap handle for my 2/56's and other small taps, something that would tighten/grip properly.

I like a T handle but I can never get a perfect vertical down-push with them. Your suggestion Bob may cure that.

I normally use one like the above picture, but have one about that size with a ratchet handle that I like too. It makes it quicker to remove the tap using the ratchet rather than the bar. I also have a piece of 2" x 3/8" x 1/4" steel with a square hole drilled in the middle that works well for the smaller #2 and #4 taps because you can sort of feel it before it breaks.

Received the handle, weee. What a beauty. Just a
hair big for the flats on a 2-56 tap, but it grabs the
tap shank just fine. cstatman is my new best friend. I Love This Forum!
