General ratcheting tap holder

[NC Rick]

@mksj I was very surprised that it broke.
And you are correct, this one is definitely an import.
I’ll look for a used one or just find a Starrett.

I have a made in USA general which ratchets. At times, in tight spaces it has been invaluable but I don't like using it generally. Don't know the brand of the USA made one with the rear pilot but it is the most commonly used by me.

I have a P&N (Australia) that I’m quite pleased with. I bought it used and not sure how common they are but it’s really solid. Not ratcheting but still my favourite. Wobbly and ill-fitting tap wrenches are like saws with loose handles — just plain wrong.

I have a set of P&N taps and dies also. The tap handle is 14” long though so it’s a bit large for small taps.
