    Looks great. But how does a square tap work in a round hole?

    Just screw the bolts in and they grip on the flats

    The torque end of a tap is of square cross-section. This tap's handles are bolts. They are set against opposite sides of the tap's square end. The tap is now captive in the tapping handle.
