HOW TO USE:

1. Insert the Tap: Open the adjustable jaw of the wrench by rotating the handle. Insert the square end of your tap, reamer, or screw extractor into the jaw.
2. Tighten the Jaws: Rotate the handle in the opposite direction to securely tighten the jaws around the tool's square shank. Ensure the tool is centered and held firmly to prevent slippage.
3. Position the Tool: Place the tap into the hole you intend to thread. The offset handle design allows for a better grip and access in tight spaces.
4. Begin Tapping: Apply firm, steady pressure while turning the wrench clockwise. For threading, periodically reverse the rotation to break the chips and clear the hole. For reaming or extracting, continue turning in the appropriate direction.
5. Remove the Tool: Once your task is complete, loosen the wrench's jaws and carefully remove the tool.
