I know what it is - http://northernmachininginc.com/?page_id=21 (no relation, affiliation, or business interest), but it seems that others don't. I brought it up in another thread ( https://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/tap-socket-set.111155/ ) but the beginning of that thread confused me as to what was being asked, and I think it may have confused others as well).
In any case, for tapping in the machine (mill, drill, lathe, whatever), what do you think is the ultimate tap handle? My answer is obvious, but I'm all ears if you think you have something better.
Probably the most expensive tap handle you can buy, but since buying one (8-9 years ago), I have five Starret wrenches that have gone unused. Those unused wrenches are prettier, and together much more expensive than the Northern Machining wrench.
Oh, and for Pete's sake (and mine!) if you're affiliated with Northern Machining, will you guys start marking your tools?! Every time someone asks me where I got mine, I have to go in search of the name again because I never remember it.
