Greenfield makes the taps and dies everyone wants. The cost of Greenfields is what drives most people to HF.

Hello jniolon,

I don't know, it is maybe 10" long?

It's for threading a set screw hole in a gear, pulley, or sprocket hub that is too close to turn the T handle.

Or any other application that requires a deep reach.

Well in the case of not having a long tap wrench like that you can always get a pulley tap also called extended tap, McMaster Carr has them.

Hi Guido, mine is a #337 but not sure what the difference is. Also included a few more, I use the 337 or the round one most of the time and it has 4 different sizes.

I bought a set of 4 or so ? similar to that at a yard sale years ago. The ones I have the tap is made to the handle soldered in or something ? Handle at the tee part looks just like yours. These let you go way down in a deep hole.

Dad had a collection of differnt sized T handle for taps when he worked for a company that rebuilt International heavy mining equiptment. He rebuilt cylinder heads for them.

I was a small kid then. But remember everything was "pay" except for the T series dozers.. Pay Hauler, pay scraper, pay grader, pay loader.

Nothing like hearing a freshly remaned. T25 dozer engine running under full load on a dyno for 24 hours.

I remember at work it was usual to press a nut on the end of the tap using a bench vice & then a socket & extension & ratchet used to run the tap!
I still have a few taps with nuts still on them.

I have a whole set with nuts pressed on them, used them with an impact, you would be surprised how good it works. use good lube, and reverse often. I learned this from an old time shade tree mechanic.

I brought a socket set to drive taps I have not used one of those thangs in years...
