Good quality and very useful

These tap holder sockets make tapping holes much more convenient as one can use many different tools to rotate a tap, allowing better access to tap holes in a constricted area, or just making it easier to turn the tap other than a crossbar type of tap handle. They also hold the tap securely so it doesn't fall from the tool. They are very durable, too. I've has a set of these for many, many years and have found them to be durable with no loss of performance over time.

Needed just this one as I lost it from a complete set. It’s perfect for holding taps while tapping.

I have 4 tap and die sets. One large metric set and two large STD sets (all the way up to 1.5 inch!) and another regular smaller set. I use an Irwin Tools 21102- T-handle Ratcheting Tap Wrench For Tap Sizes 1/4" to 1/2" - see here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0039MNCGA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=308B46AMJR9OA&coliid=I3U6ADYQEXUNLJ but it just wasn't good enough or big enough for all my taps as they come in many different sizes. These tap sockets are hands down the best tools you can use (IMO) for taps! I recently used them for a waterpump R&R job and I wanted to clean the threads on the block of my 02 Acura when I was changing it out. I used a 1/4 inch impact drill with an extension adapter (very slowly and very carefully) but in no time flat I was able to clean out all 16 or so holes using these tools. Yes, yes, I know an impact drill is the wrong tool to use, especially if you're making new threads (which I wasn't) but I wanted to save time and these worked perfectly! And yes, I know a tap is not what you use to clean threads either, but that's what I had as my tap chasers were the wrong size. Like you, I've been around the block and have completed the circle in my 50 yrs, but if there's a better and faster way I'm gonna try it. These come in many different sizes and I love how I am now able to use my taps in places where my T-handle wouldn't permit. Anyone who's ever used taps will instantly realize the utility of these tap sockets. They are made of forged steel and are tougher than Tequila and the tap is held in place with a circlip or something so they don't fall out easily. Since I'm a motorhead and I'm always playing with tools fabricating or doing something, these are perfect for using my extensive set of taps! I even bought the large LI70940 set as well and those are heavy duty units too! I now have more options with my tap sets. I feel like Jeff Spicoli's uncle because now I really have the ultimate set of tools! These will probably last till I'm 85 and can't turn a wrench anymore, then, and only then, will I hand them down to my son! For now these babies are mine! If you're a mechanic or DIYer - then buy these as these are what you've been wishing they designed to solve your tapping problems. Actually, they've been around for years but I just recently decided I really wanted them. Good luck with your projects!
