This set comes with two ratcheting T handles, each equipped with a reverse/forward lever on them. The smaller size comes in at just over nine inches in length while the larger size is just over 13 inches. Made of polished chrome with a plastic insert (one of the only plastic pieces in this kit I might add). They fit comfortably in the hand. As mentioned above, the friction ring holds the die holder firmly in place but not so tight in becomes difficult to remove when desired. Gearwrench has even included a socket adapter to allow further versatility within this tool kit.
Also included in this set are three sizes of tap holders. The smallest opens large enough to accept a 1/4 shank. The next size opens large enough to accept a 3/8 shank. The largest will accept a 1/2″ shank. All of them easily center and securely hold the taps. The small and medium size tap holder also have holes in the side to accept a smaller (included) non-ratcheting t handle for more precise and delicate threading tasks. The larger tap holder does not include this hole, most likely because this tap holder requires much more force due to the larger tap sizes. The larger tap holder also includes a spring loaded lock that engages once inserted into the ratchet. This locking feature is easily undone by twisting the end of the tap holder.
Extra features not found in many other kits in include a small set of extractors in case you need to remove a seized/broken bolt or screw. No sizes are given, however, the extractors look like they would work well on bolts 1/4″ through 3/4″. The set also includes two thread pitch gauges, one metric and one SAE.
