Plain Tap Wrench No. 12 for taps up to 1-2 inch

The General Tools 318-166 is a hand-operated tap wrench designed for threading operations in maintenance and repair work. It accepts taps within the No. 12 capacity range, making it suitable for professional mechanics and hobbyists who cut internal threads by hand. The tool is sold new as a single unit.

Adjustable jaws grip the tap square during manual

The wrench fits into a toolkit alongside tap sets and cutting fluid, supplying the leverage needed to start and advance threads without a powered driver. It frees the user from relying on machine tapping when only a few holes are required or when workpiece access is limited. Buyers who need powered tapping or larger capacity will require different equipment.
