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

Good design and quality!

Good tap handle for smaller taps. Lots of reviews saying they broke and didn't work properly, but it has worked great for the few holes I've had to tap out!

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.

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.

So much better using this then my previous method of trying to use a wrench. sure it worked, but was so hard to keep a good grip and also keep it straight at the same time. Anytime you are tapping a hole, use one of these instead.was able to use this to tap a crankshaft without any issues and sped up the process quite ea bit compared to before.

Purchased this to clean out the threads in the undercarriage of the car to mount a receiver. It's a specialty tool and I haven't used it since, but it worked phenomenally well for the task at hand and I know that if I need to use it again it will be solid and work like it should.I've never had an issue with IRWIN tools like this, which is why I went with this one. Solid, well constructed, worked exactly as needed!

Bought the handle and a 1/4”-28 tap from them. Handle will not tighten down enough to hold 1/4” tap. (Same company)

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.
