Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What type of taps is this tap wrench suitable for?
This tap wrench is specifically designed to hold square-driven taps. The adjustment mechanism allows for secure clamping of squares in the range of 22 mm to 50 mm.

Q2: Why is the length of 1300 mm so important?
The length of 1300 mm is crucial for leverage. When manually cutting threads, especially large diameters or in tough materials, high torque is required. The great length of this tap wrench reduces the effort, makes it easier to position and guide the tap, and ensures a more even and precise cut.

Q3: Can I also use this tap wrench for small taps?
No, this tap wrench (No. 9) is designed for an operating range of 22-50 mm square drive and is therefore specifically intended for larger taps. For smaller taps, there are correspondingly smaller tap wrenches.

Q4: What does the DIN 1814 standard mean for a tap wrench?
DIN 1814 is a German industrial standard that specifies the requirements for adjustable tap wrenches. It guarantees that the tap wrench meets certain quality and dimensional standards. This ensures high precision, reliability, and good compatibility with standardized taps.

Q5: How do I correctly adjust the clamping jaws of the tap wrench?
The clamping jaws are adjusted by simply turning the handle. Turn the handle until the jaws firmly and snugly enclose the square of the tap. Make sure to insert the tap centrally and straight to ensure a precise thread cut.
