Looking For A Tap Holder

My tap set has the two traditional holders which are not good for tight spots.
I haven't had any luck finding a holder on the internet that will hold the square base tap and also fit either a 1/4 or 3/8 drive racket.

Any help here?

Hey Chuck!

Something like this maybe?

That's one thing I can stand to get for my toolbox. Beats using an adjustable crescent wrench.

Chuck, we used aluminum interference nuts of the same size as the tap pressed on to the square end of the tap.
Then use your regular rachet set and extensions to get into tight places.
A Tee handle in the set still works best for taps so you can reverse every 1/4 turn or so.
And don't forget the Tap-Magic.
