This Thing is a set of handles for the smaller sized sae and metric taps that I use frequently on my projects. I am mostly tapping into plastic so the loads are low and even a small T handle is cumbersome. These make tapping those small holes a breeze!

The handles are marked on one side with the thread size and on the other with the recommended tap drill size for plastic. I will still use one drill size smaller than recommended on printed ABS to keep the threads tight.

Some post processing will probably be required for a tight fit on your taps. I even found that the sizes vary slightly based on the color I am printing. I printed mine at 10% infill. I printed them standing on the bed and they seemed to stick without rafts or brims. (Not like they show in the STL previews, rotate 180, flat end down.)
