    FLOATING TAP WRENCH! FLOATING TAP HOLDER!

    Taps can break due to incorrect efforts, falls, end of life, etc.
    Incorrect efforts can be controlled using a floating mandrel.
    Falls from the tool can be avoided by controlling the tightness of the tap on the holder.
    End of life can be noticed by the wear of the tap or by the occurrence of external cracks.
    Microcracks and internal cracks are not easily noticeable.
    This modification in the holder allows excessive efforts not to be applied to the tap.
    It also functions as a floating holder.
    In addition, it keeps the tap always attached to the holder (due to the action of the spring), which makes it difficult for the tool to come loose and fall to the ground.
    The spring action is somewhat proportional: lighter for taps of smaller diameter and heavier for taps of larger diameter.
    Finally, it allows the quick change of the tap to be carried out, being only necessary to pull one of the holder rods.
    I hope this modification can be useful for any of you!
    Usually we all have a spring stored somewhere, so it's time to use it!
