Century Drill 98502 T-handle Tap Wrench 1/4 to 1/2 Inch 2 Pack

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 98502 is a T-handle tap wrench designed to hold taps and screw extractors during threading and extraction operations. It accepts tooling from 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch in diameter, equivalent to 7.0 to 12.0 mm, covering a wide range of common tap sizes. The sliding T-handle provides extra leverage for controlled torque during hand-tapping, which reduces the risk of tap breakage in tight or hard materials. Constructed from hardened, tempered carbon steel, the 98502 is built to withstand the torsional loads typical of production tapping and field repair work. This listing includes a package quantity of 2 wrenches.

The 98502 is suited for use in metal fabrication shops, mechanical contracting environments, and field service applications where hand-tapping threads is a routine task. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance mechanics reach for a T-handle tap wrench when chasing damaged threads, installing threaded inserts, or starting taps in confined spaces where a tap handle with a longer cross arm is impractical. The 1/4 to 1/2 inch capacity range makes it appropriate for the most common fractional tap sizes used in trade work.

Key Features

• Accepts tap shanks from 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch (7.0 to 12.0 mm)
• Sliding T-handle delivers extra leverage for controlled hand-tapping torque
• Hardened, tempered carbon steel construction for durability under torsional load

Compatibility

Designed to hold standard fractional and metric taps and screw extractors with shank diameters from 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch (7.0 to 12.0 mm).

Installation Notes

A T-handle tap wrench is a hand tool requiring no power source or special installation. When tapping threads, secure the workpiece firmly and align the tap perpendicular to the work surface before applying torque. Back the tap off periodically to break chips and prevent binding, particularly in ferrous materials. Keep hands clear of sharp tap flutes during use and wear appropriate eye protection.
