    Default What's the name of the handle that holds a tap?

    Hi guys. What is the name of the handle you use to clamp the shank of a tap? Is it the same name for the round one used to clamp a die?

    There are two types of tap wrench I am aware of.

    The flat one that one handle screws in to tighten and the T piece type that closes like a collet and sometimes has a ratchet. I don't know if these are differentiated as I only know them both as tap wrenches.

    Cheers Fellas. I will now start shopping for tap wrenches to replace the one I lost.
