Tap Holder with Ratchet for right- and left-hand-turn No. 1

The VÖLKEL Tap Holder with Ratchet (No. 1) is a specialized hand tool designed to securely hold square-shank taps and precisely turn them into various materials. Its unique feature is the integrated ratchet function, which allows for continuous work without having to reposition your grip – a crucial advantage, especially in tight working areas.

Who Is This Tap Holder For?

This tap holder is ideal for you if you:

• Want to cut precise manual threads in workpieces.
• Frequently work in tight or hard-to-reach areas where a full grip rotation of the tool is not possible.
• Are a craftsman, model maker, electrician, or precision mechanic who values efficient and clean threading results.
• Need to produce both right-hand and left-hand threads and require a versatile tool for this purpose.
• Are processing small to medium thread sizes from M3 to M10 (suitable for square drives from 2.4 - 5.5 mm).

Standard tap wrenches require repeated repositioning of your grip to continue turning the tap. This is often cumbersome or impossible in confined spaces. Furthermore, uneven pressure can lead to binding or messy thread cuts.

The VÖLKEL Tap Holder with Ratchet elegantly solves these problems:

• Working in Confined Spaces: The ratchet function (as seen on the smaller model in the product image) allows you to continuously turn the tap with small swivel movements, without having to lift and re-engage the tool from the workpiece. This is invaluable when space is limited.
• Fatigue-Free Work: The smooth right and left-hand turn of the ratchet reduces strain on your hand, allowing for more fatigue-free and faster work.
• Versatility for All Thread Types: The easy switching mechanism of the ratchet allows you to quickly change between right-hand and left-hand rotation. This means you can effortlessly cut both right-hand threads (standard) and left-hand threads without having to change tools.
• Secure Hold for Precise Results: The robust holder securely and snugly fixes the tap's square shank, which is essential for clean and precise thread guiding.

The VÖLKEL Tap Holder with Ratchet (No. 1) is an investment in precision and efficiency:

• Compact and Efficient (Size No. 1, 85 mm Length): With an overall length of just 85 mm (see the smaller model in the product image), this tap holder is extremely handy and perfect for jobs requiring precision in tight spaces. It fits ideally into any toolbox.
• Integrated Ratchet Function for Right- and Left-Hand Turn: This key feature allows for fast and continuous turning of the tap without repositioning. The simple switching mechanism makes it instantly ready for both right-hand and left-hand threads.
• Wide Application Range (M3-M10): The tap holder reliably accommodates square-driven taps from sizes M3 to M10 (for squares from 2.4 - 5.5 mm). This covers a wide range of common thread sizes you'll need in everyday work.
• Robust and Durable Design: VÖLKEL stands for quality. This tap holder is made from high-quality materials that guarantee high load capacity and a long service life. The precise mechanics ensure reliable function even with regular use.
