Do you ever use a sliding t handle

[Crispycritter]

I have a couple of these but have never found a use for them.. what about you?

My typical use is to drive a 8pt socket on a thread tap, tho it tends to be for the larger sizes, other than that they just sit idle in the drawer.

similar use for me but i have also  used them on difficult fasteners. if you have the room they can work well to work a stubborn fastener back and forth when trying to work some lube into the threads. using a hand on either side keeps the tool in line with the fastener and gives a lot of "feel" to what is happening. similar to tapping with a t handle.

Ill have to try that all good ideas so far

I hardly ever used the traditional sliding "T"s, but once I found these Craftsman handles, I was hooked. Definitely a cut above the old "T" and speeder handles of the past. They come in 1/4" and 3/8" drive and I use the 1/4" drive version all the time when working in tight spaces.

I've been pretty happy with the crafty 1/4 drive spinner goodfellow shows but its just a bit too long. I got a 3/8 drive that's only @8in long and its much more functional. These are both "fixed" heads and not the sliding head. don't use the sliders that often.

I have a couple for collectible/filling a set purposes but never use them. If a ratchet or breaker bar doesn't get the job done it's Vise Grip, nut buster, or torch time.

I rarely use them, have a bunch of Plomb and Craftsman ones, just to complete sets. But now and then ill use them when spinning down a bunch of fasteners, say on valve covers. I have just figured how to spin then down fast, then the final cinch down.

I also have them , but rarely use them. I have a 3/4" drive in the tractor tool box with a few sockets. Nobody steals these.

When using crowsfoot wrenches for prewired components. When building emergency vehicles, often the antennas are attached in fairly inaccessible areas.

MY 3/4 drive one can in handy once but that's it so far.

Like others have said, with an 8 point socket, they make a nice tap handle.  Otherwise, I like to put a long extension on them and use them to run down fasteners quickly.

I can tell you they don't sell well

Never used one, but my son does a bit.  He builds heads for high performance Subaru's.  I assume it is a feel thing when installing rockers and such on a fresh build

Don't even own one.

I have a Craftsman V in both my 1/4" sets and I do use them.
I like the ability to spin small bolts and head head screws out, once I loosen them I can twirl my finger around and spin the fastener out.
I do this using a 6" extension.

That Craftsman that was posted looks coo and handy l but I don't like the COO.
