Adjustable Tap Sockets

[Ditchdigger]

I have both the lisle and the snap on pieces. I quite like the snap on set. Yes the Lisle is great but I always seem to wind up with a tap with a strange shank size that won't fit them.

The snap on adjustable set was only like $22 when I bought them. They hold tight but are a bit bulkier so won't fit in all situations.

Lisle made a die socket but I believe it is discontinued.

I found that a friend of mine had the Lisle die socket. Here is what it looks like.
There is an allen screw where the flat is that holds the die in place.
