Looking For A special Tool

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?

Have you looked through a Grainger or McMaster Carr Catalog? Matco/Snap On?

I know what your talking about though, would be nice to have something like that.

Dont lose faith because its out there. I used one a friend of mine had back when I worked at GM. Everything he had was either snap-on or matco, so i would try there.

I use a 6mm 12pt socket or one of the smaller ones. Fits nice and snug

THe snap on ones are nice but you can just get away with a 12pt most of the time and sometimes it even fits where the snap on ones wont.

I have a mac tools set similar to the snap-on ones posted. I think they were only like 30-40 bucks when I picked them up. They work very good and are a must for most tight areas...
