Straight Tap Wrench Overview

The Westward 2CYU3 is a straight-handled tap wrench designed for threading operations in maintenance and repair work. It accepts fractional taps from 1/4 to 3/4 inch and metric taps from M5 to M16. The 15 inch overall length provides leverage for manual thread cutting.

Replaces Adjustable Tap Handles

This fixed-handle wrench replaces adjustable or ratcheting tap holders when a rigid, straight drive is preferred for through-hole tapping. The jump is worth it when the job demands positive tap alignment without the play of a sliding T-handle. It also covers pipe taps from 1/8 to 1/4 inch and hand reamer capacity from 7/32 to 19/32 inch.

Check Tap Shank Compatibility

Before ordering, verify that the tap shanks you use fall within the listed fractional, metric and pipe tap ranges. Confirm the straight handle shape suits the access and clearance around your workpiece. The fixed handle does not ratchet, so ensure the application allows full rotational swings.

Questions about this item

What tap sizes does the 15 in straight wrench accept?

It holds fractional taps from 1/4 in to 3/4 in, machine screw taps at 1/4 in, metric taps from M5 to M16, and pipe taps from 1/8 to 1/4 in.

How do you secure a tap in the fixed straight handle, and what step is often missed?

Open the jaws, insert the tap square fully, then tighten the chuck until the tap cannot rotate; the missed step is not seating the tap square completely before clamping.

When will the jaws or chuck need replacement on this 15 in tap wrench?

Replace them when the jaws no longer grip the tap square tightly or the chuck threads strip, which typically appears as tap slippage during use.
