Tap Holder with Ratchet for right- and left-hand-turn No. 1 (10 pieces)

Tap Holder with Ratchet for right- and left-hand-turn No. 1 (10 pieces)

This tool holder serves as an operating and holding tool for thread cutting with taps. It is suitable for working situations where the swing radius is limited and the tool therefore cannot be guided in a continuous rotary motion. The ratchet function supports short working strokes and makes controlled starting easier during maintenance and repair work.

For selection, it is crucial that the tool holder matches the tap design used and the respective holding situation. The switching function for right- and left-hand operation is relevant when a change of direction is required during the work process. The designation No. 1 is used to identify the variant within the system.
