As a Journeyman Tool, you have a lot of experience. I've owned every single one of these die makers - Starrett, Mitutoyo, Fowler, SPI, Tesa, and Chinese junk, to name a few brands, are still the best. The tap wrench I received today is a true work of art - The finish is flawless, the threads are silky smooth, and the knurl is perfect. If your budget allows, spend it all on Starrett.
This is a wonderful program. It is attractive and comfortable to hold, as are many Starrett products. br>br>It is a small wrench, measuring only about 3. 5 inches in length For small taps like 4-, this provides a true fingertip feel. 40s. The clamp is not a standard slider with a triangular notch due to its small size. It's simply a hardened plunger rod that rotates as you tighten it. This hasn't been an issue for me. My taps stayed firmly in place, and the plunger shows no signs of wear. br>br>The wrench has a 1/4-inch capacity. You'll need the leverage of a longer wrench anyway if you want to drive bigger taps.
These Starret wrenches are light, small, and delicate, allowing you to 'feel' smaller taps (such as 3mm or 4-mm). 40) into the pilot hole is a good place to start. Unfortunately, Amazon does not appear to have a smaller size available for the tiniest threads. I prefer chuck-it-out to the more common chuck-it-out.

These Starret wrenches are exactly like the ones we used 'back in the day,' before Chinese tools ruled the world:.
After wasting $13 on a T style tap wrench from a big box store, I debated whether or not I should spend $30 on this tap wrench. The T style, which was made by a different company, was difficult to use and wouldn't keep the tap from wobbling. This Starrett wrench is beautifully finished, holds the tap securely, and has a small hole in the tightening screw if you need to tighten the tap even more. This wrench is small, as others have stated, so make sure it fits the taps you intend to use it for. I use it for a M5 tap that fits perfectly. It's great to see Starrett still produces a high-quality product that, with proper care, can last a lifetime.
I paid for a high-quality product, but all I got was disappointment. Because this is the third defective product I've received from Starrett in a year, they've fallen off the wagon.
With a 1/8" bolt extractor, I was able to accomplish this. I'm not a machinist, but I needed something to keep the extractor in place. Yes, it's a little more expensive than the others, but I guarantee it'll grip and hold. br>br>It feels good in my hand, but it does need to be cleaned and oiled before use, as others have suggested. br>br>I am pleased with my purchase. It is worthwhile to invest in good tools.
It's not only well-made, but it's also a joy to hold in your hand; my only complaint is that the knurling is a little rough on the fingers, but the balance and feel are excellent. It simply makes you want to go out and find more things to thread. br>As others have stated, it is smaller than it appears, so double-check that the taps you want to use will fit.
Starrett is a fantastic tool manufacturer. This isn't any different. Especially for taps with a diameter of less than four inches. br> You'll need a small tap wrench like this if you're over 40. It allows you to detect when the flutes are becoming clogged with chips. br> br>br>If my copy had not come with a minor flaw, I would have given it five stars. That blemish was something I wanted to add!.
