    Miniature tap wrench

    Although I have one of the Starrett 174 tap wrenches, I only use it with my piloted tap extension...

    http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/tap-holders-26298

    The reason I don't use it in the expected fashion is that it's just too easy to unknowingly loosen the screw and have the tap fall out onto the concrete floor. A few broken taps convinced me to make a miniature of this style...


    which locks securely onto the tap.

    The arms are made from 9/32" square stainless stock turned down to 1/4". I don't like knurling on tap wrench handles so they were left plain.
