GTD no. 7 tap wrench
« on: November 16, 2019, 10:33:12 PM »
Been after one for a while. These seem to retain excellent resale value. Found this one on eBay, looks to be dated 3/98, USA NOS shelf stock. A lot of the mystery substance that looks like rust wiped off with wd40. This is a big guy, up to 3/4 sq and 19.5" long.
Happy to finally have one.

Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

I've yet to run into an instance I run out of room to swing big tap handles. If the hole is too close to the floor I pick the part up with the bridge crane. Lol. I even used to have a crazy big no. 8 iirc that was 40" long. It had tubular steel handles threaded into the forged head, but someone had brazed them on permanently. Greenfield even made larger sizes. I saw one about 6' long once.

As the saying goes, when it rains it pours...now I have two no. 7s. Old and new. Although this one isn't that old. Got it with some other goodies.
