Cle-Line C67197 Straight Tap Wrench No 14

Straight Tap Wrench No 14

The Cle-Line C67197 is a fixed-handle tap wrench designed for straight threading tasks. It accepts fractional taps from 1/16 in to 3/8 in, machine screw taps #0 to #14, and metric taps from 1.50 mm to 10.00 mm. The 9 in overall length provides leverage for hand threading operations. It suits mechanics and maintenance technicians cutting new threads or chasing damaged ones.

Upgrading from adjustable tap holders

Adjustable tap wrenches can slip under high torque, risking tap breakage or misaligned threads. This fixed straight handle eliminates jaw movement, delivering consistent alignment through the cut. The jump is worth it when repeatability matters more than versatility, especially for production runs or repair jobs where a broken tap in a workpiece is costly.

Verify tap compatibility before ordering

Confirm the taps you intend to use fall within the 1/16 in to 3/8 in fractional, #0 to #14 machine screw, or 1.50 mm to 10.00 mm metric ranges. This wrench does not accommodate pipe taps. Ensure your workpiece material and thread depth suit a 9 in fixed-handle tool, as longer reaches or harder alloys may require a different handle style.
