Pros & Cons
Pros
Starrett is famous for their quality of workmanship. Now that i am doing some model machining, this is my first choice daily user tap wrench. Far superior to the collet style wrenches. I am not a machinist but needed something that could firmly hold t... Read More
Light enough to two finger tap the really small holes without snapping off the tap. Allows sensitive feel on small delicate taps. My only gripe is that the knurling is a bit sharp on the fingers.
These starrett wrench handles are well made and comfortably fit your hand. This is much better than the 2 cheaper tap handles that would slip on the tap when i provided moderate torque.
With more than 50 yrs. Starrett is still the best. They also have fantastic resale value. Highly recommended and worth every cent.
Cons
Where the jaw point meets the tool point is misaligned. This makes the tap sit at an 80° angle which spells disaster when tapping. This item was used very and very wore.
Highlights
Quality
Beautiful craftsmanship, and i am being extra skeptical given the quality of some starrett stuff i have seen in recent years.
You can see and feel the quality.
Made for small taps and the quality cannot be beat!
Great quality and package, us made and you definitely can see that in the quality of the tool.
Competitiveness
Thx over priced but you get what you pay for with tools.
The other brands just don’t compare imo.

The t style was made by a different company and felt rough to use and would not hold the tap without wobbles
