Pros & Cons
Pros
Fresh quality tap cuts so finely, it almost brings one to tears. Starrett quality. If you want to own the finest, this is it.
The feel of the wrench is solid. The wrench is top notch, which is what i expected from a starrett wrench. It fits the really small screw extractors.
The hardened collet jaws hold small taps securely and accurately centered. The starrett handles do and it worked perfectly with a tap guide to keep the tap aligned. Use a spring loaded tap follower to guarantee flawless tapped holes.
All sterrett tools are top of the line. Exceptional tooling.
It's a little pricey, but sturdy. Nice dimple in the handle which is inline with the tap axis.
Cons
The tee handle tap wrench is intended only for hand tightening. This holder fails upon realizing the tap will not be held centered because they cheaped out on the smallest, easiest piece. It's like someone pulled it out of the'rejects/garbage' bin and... Read More
Highlights
Quality
Nice heavy quality tool i highly recommend
It is very sturdy, machined well, has a good feel and heft in the hands, and adjusts within each limit with precision.
I wanted a quality tool, a buy-once tap handle, and this is it.
This t handle cannot support the sideways pressure and will break.
Price
The best money that i’ve spent in quite a while!
Disappointing for $60 the product looks great but does not meet description.
What i didn't like:nothingfinal thought: don't waste your money trying to go cheap.
Starrett is expensive, but in this case you get what you paid for.
Packaging/appearance
From the boxing, wrapping and how it was oiled before packing to the precision of it, you know it's us made.
Competitiveness
Buy them from (any) machine tool supplier, they are worlds better than 98% of the hardware store items.
I have the other big box brand version craftsmen, and this is soooo much better.
It’s a little pricey when compared to the other imported options, but it will likely last a lifetime.
