Tap Wrench

[Rich_GSX]

Please can someone recommend a quality tap wrench brand. I bought a set from RDG and they are going back as they are absolute poop. I wasn't expecting top quality but I was expecting them to at least hold the taps straight! I would rather spend more and get a quality tool. Thanks.

I have picked up decent ones at car boots for pence but give Tracy Tools a try.

Thanks, I should have said it's T type wrenches I'm after for the smaller taps. The one on the Tracy site has No Stock.

ebay or car boot sales preferably moor and wright- the cheapo ones have rough threads on them

Eclipse do some decent ones.

Eclipse 246 and Eclipse 143.
Had both a long time and they work.

Seconded for old Moore and Wright. I've bought a few off Ebay for peanuts and they are top quality.

I've got a couple of Eclipse wrenches, inherited from my father, a lot better than some of todays tat.
