1/4" - 1-1/8" Tap Capacity Adjustable Tap Wrench, DWT Series

Bought this to do assist in the reaming of seat tubes on bicycle frames, works way better than a crescent wrench to do the job right. Great price, as well as fast shipping. Works well!

Build is generally solid but you will have to really crank down on your taps to keep them in place. Will also back out easily so you will have to re tighten as you tap threads. Especially big ones.

What I liked is it was ready to use right put of thr box. Great rugged tool.

I got the 1/4"-1 1/8" version, and boy, between that and a little m3-m12 one, I can tap anything I please. someone stop me, or this wall's gonna get it. I have a tap wrench and even I don't know what size thread I'm gonna use. in all seriousness, I used an m22 tap with it, because, y'know. a square clamp works for everything.

Drill America is packaging up a totally different wrench than what is being shown here and what they show as the DWTTW7 wrench on their website. The wrench is not 19" long, as advertised, but 16.25". The wrench body is not steel, but zinc or aluminum or something, and it seems low quality The wrench cannot grip a 1-1/8" or even 1" shank, but it looks like it will grip 7/8" and it *might* grip 15/16". Last, the wrench handle doesn't have the hole through the knurled section, which I would like to have in case I wanted to insert something and torque on it harder. See the other negative reviews for similar complaints and photos of the wrench that they are shipping - I received the same non-steel wrench that they received and at least one reviewer had crack apart.

Misread size and ordered by mistake. I needed one that went up to 1/4". But this one seems of good quality.

And other statements I've never heard in the bedroom :( Seriously. I didn't think to check the overall size of this thing. It's massive. That's a standard office chair in the picture to provide a size reference. Should provide plenty of leverage and I doubt it will break in the materials I'll be threading. Then again, I haven't actually used it yet. I did try to unthread the holder all the way out. Which brings me to the 4 star rating. I believe the threaded portion of the rod is slightly bent. Every few rotations it binds up. You can force it through, so it's useable, but it's there. The threaded portion does have a hole in the end to put a screwdriver in to help apply extra torque to rotate the bar. It's not bad enough that I'll bother returning it.

Opening is 1/4 to 21/32 so approximately 5/8. I have a 9/16 tap with 11/32 (~3/8 inch) chuck worked fine with this tool. Overall length 16 1/4 inches. This tool should be sold in more stores.
