Ratchet T-Handle for Small Taps
The Westward 2CYT5 is a ratchet tap wrench designed for fractional taps from 1/16 to 1/4 inch. It also covers machine screw taps 0 to 14 and metric taps M1.6 to M6. The T-handle ratchets right or left and can be locked for fixed use. Hardened steel jaws and a knurled chuck sleeve hold the tap securely. Its zero-clearance handle works in confined spaces.
Users Needing Small Tap Capacity
Machinists and mechanics cutting threads up to 1/4 inch will find the range suitable. The reversible ratchet speeds repetitive threading in tight spots. Builders who need capacity beyond 1/4 inch or M6 should look at larger wrenches. Anyone requiring a fixed T-handle without a ratchet mechanism may prefer a simpler design.
Fractional Tap Range 1/16 to 1/4 Inch
The decisive specification is the fractional tap capacity of 1/16 to 1/4 inch. This defines the maximum thread size the wrench can drive. Match this range to the taps you plan to use before purchase.

Questions about this item
How do I set the ratchet direction on the 2CYT5 T-handle tap wrench?
Use the ratchet selector to choose right-hand, left-hand, or locked non-ratchet operation before engaging the tap.
What tap sizes can the hardened jaws of the 2CYT5 grip without slipping?
The self-centering jaws hold fractional taps 1/16 to 1/4 inch, machine screw taps 0 to 14, and metric taps M1.6 to M6.
When does the 3 1/2 inch body length limit leverage in deep holes?
The short body reduces reach, so torque drops off once the tap extends beyond the handle in blind or deep holes.
