    Very good tap handle for light use September 12, 2010

    I have two of these tap drivers and they work well for lighter work with small taps, where you want a good feel for how the cutting is going. I've never broken a tap with this handle, and I think it's due to having less leverage. Myself, I also find it easier (less bulky) to spin for a quick cleanup of threads. I've never used the hole on it for a cross handle, but think it's a good idea to add to the tools' versatility. 

    The only thing I now don't care for is that they seem to be making this handle in China now, opposed to the US made ones I have. I can only guess these new ones are the cause of the bad reviews that I was quite surprised to see. If you can find a store with the last remaining stock of the ones, I would encourage you to snatch one up while you can. I would also encourage Sears to re-think the decision to start importing these (and other) tools.

    Tap Driver #52171 has a basic design flaw. May 04, 2010

    Not long after buying and using this tap holder the "fingers" that hold the tap splayed outward since they extend out past the tightening nut. Now they will not hold the tap tightly enough to work properly at all and there is no way to bend them back into their original position. Even if you could, they would simply spread out again as there is nothing to hold them in. I asked if I could exchange it for a Craftsman #52557 which does work because the fingers are held in by the tightening nut, but I was told I had to exchange it for the same faulty model. That is not an option for me since its basic design is bad, so it destined to simple fail again.

    HANDLE IS POOR QUALITY. THE NUT FOR TIGHTENING THE CHUCK IS HARD TO GRIP. IT'S CHEAPER MADE THAN THE ONE IT REPLACED. IT'S IMPORTED AND MADE OF POORER QUALITY MATERIALS. IT DOESN'T HOLD THE TAP SECURELY. I TOOK IT BACK. WISH I COULD FIND THE OLD ONE!

    Not the same quality as the older, made in USA tool. July 08, 2011

    Pros:
    Handy size, there when you need it.
    Cons:
    Tap Collet Freewheels in handle.

    I previously owned one of these tap drivers (the clear-handled variety w/'t' handle capability), and was extremely pleased with it. After loaning it to a friend (shame on me) and never receiving it back, I purchased another one (the blue-handled variety) from my local Sears store. It is JUNK!!!! The white cap on the end free-wheeled from the start, which I could have lived with, but when the wrench itself began to free-wheel in the handle (at a most inopportune time), I just threw the thing away - it is not worth swapping in for another inferior quality tool. Instead, I will fashion my own from a Brownells screwdriver handle and a quality Irwin tap handle.

    Cheap plastic handle cracks under pressure! LITERALLY! September 21, 2010
    via sears_dot_com
    By liqudus of Mountain View, CA

    Cons:
    New models now made in China,cheap plastic, cracks easily

       I purchased this tap set because I needed an inexpensive way to put a few 8-32 holes in an aluminum heatsink i was working on. Sadly the handle is cast from very poor quality, brittle, blue plastic. The top of the handle that holds the knurled end of the aluminum shaft, cracked and allowed the shaft to spin in place. This rendered the handle useless and I ended up turning the tap the rest of the way with a pair of vicegrips. 

       This is an appealing tool due to it including 3 common taps which conveniently store in the handle, but the quality of the handle is so sub par you will be very disappointed. Your better off starting off with the #52068 13 piece set (which includes an all metal tap wrench) or just getting the single tap and drill combo for the size/s you need and a nice ratcheting tap wrench. Both options are around 30 dollars but well worth the extra money.
