KOOTANS Adjustable T-Handle Ratchet Tap Holder Wrench + 5pcs M3 M4 M5 M6 M8 Machine Screw Thread Metric Plug T-shaped Tap, Bothway Hand Screw Tap Set Manual Tapping Tool Kit for Home Use (Long)

Good product

works well for what it was intended

The tool appears to be well made and suitable for its intended purpose. Since I have not used it yet, I cannot provide a complete review.

I needed this for an M6 1.0 bolt hole that holds the headlight in a 1993 Mitsubishi Delica. It worked great for me and the headlight is now fully bolted in. I can't speak to the durability since I used one part one time but it did what I needed and the long handle was awesome for the fitment I needed.

One use, and it broke. To be fair, it actually broke on the third tap, but that third tap was within the same 20 minutes on the same piece of metal. Having said that, though, I was tapping M6x1 into existing M5x1 holes in an aluminum piece by hand--is there anything that should be easier? This kind of quality and longevity is inexcusable. I would not suggest buying this for your worst enemy. I recommend Amazon remove this junk from their inventory.

Feels cheaply made, but worked well enough to tap about 1/2 holes. Could not get it to tighten as much as I would have liked on my 8 by 32 tap

Bottle cage bolt rusted and snapped inside of my bike frame, so I needed to drill the hole out and tap new threads. This tool got the job done in a situation I was worried wasn't fixable, so I'm very happy with it. Obviously for $11 it's not the highest quality tool in the world, but it works in tight places, and the ratcheting mechanism is neat as well, I'd never seen a tap with that feature before.

I have never threaded anything before but as far as I can tell this definitely does work and for the price you really can't go wrong. Thanks!
