QISF Adjustable Silver T-Handle Ratchet Tap Holder Wrench with 5pcs M3-M8 3mm-8mm Machine Screw Thread Metric Plug T-shaped Tap

Good tool for the competent machinist!

For the price you can’t beat these ratcheting tap handles. While the taps are not production quality, they serve the purpose for threading a hole or cleaning up some buggered threads and I haven’t had any issues yet. Having a ratcheting tap allows you to limit the side loading and you are much more likely to avoid breaking a tap plus it aids in improving your patience When it is so easy to back it out, break the chip, and cut new threads.

I was looking for a more simple tool to tap 3mm threads. I found this one to meet the cost and versatility. The ratchet is OK but does seem to be over kill for the smaller threads. Works great for larger threads and make it easier. It's seem well made and for what I need it will fit the bill.

Good

I’ve tapped a lot of threads over the years and this thing is by far..The literal Worst tapping handle kit I’ve ever seen. It was so bad I just started the tap with a hand drill and then squared up the bit and used some locking pliers as my handle instead of this thing.

The chuck is not self aligning, there is too much play in the assembly. The thread tap can be clamped down, but not straight. The finish and operation seems to be very good, except for the chuck.

Price was right worked good

This tap worked great for me, and I had no issues with it. You do need to make sure that the bit is tightly secured before starting your tap, but that's common sense (to me, anyway). I had zero issues with it, and it did exactly what I wanted and expected it to do. I don't normally have a need to tap things, so when my need arose I looked for something inexpensive. This item was a whole kit and it delivered a job well done. No regrets at all.
