Looking for a good daily use condition tap handle. Most tapping will be between m5 - m8 taps. So a medium size tap is needed. Also would be interested in other sizes but mainly a decent mid range.
Post up here with a pic.
Thanks

Thanks.
One thing I would like to add is; I prefer the switching to be on the side body of the tool. The ones at the top bother me. If anyone has one they want to part out or sell cheap then I need the top switching lever piece. Mine is a General but appear to be the same as a Crapsman also.
My favorite brand has been the old Stanley ones. I still use my first one daily and it has performed flawlessly for 25 1/2 years now. Wish I could find one like it to hold 3/8 and larger taps.

I went through that web site last night. You got a few things I want. Any multiple discounts? Is shipping flat rate USPS? Do you accept USPS MO's?

I seen the Stanley. I want that.
There were a couple of T-Bar tap handles as well. Any of them capable of holding up to a 1/4" Pipe thread tap? Would have to open up to about 1/2" or so. If not how wide do they open?

Should I take this quest to your email or can we do it here. I'll get the numbers for a couple of other things I have questions about.
