Vintage Parallel-Jaw Tap Wrench Held And Turned Tap
11 inches long
This tap wrench is designed for use with taps and features a parallel clamp design. It is a durable tool suitable for metalworking tasks.
The wrench holds and turns a tap, which cuts screw threads inside a drilled hole.
- Drill a hole of the correct size for the tap.
- Place the tap’s square end between the parallel jaws and tighten firmly.
- Position the tap straight in the hole and add suitable cutting lubricant.
- Hold both ends of the wrench and turn clockwise for a standard right-hand thread.
- With a conventional hand tap, advance about half a turn, then back off slightly to break the chips. Repeat gently.
The two handles provide leverage and help keep the tap straight.
