Product is very loose. Biggest issue is that it does not have reversible female end as advertised. One end is pointed, the other end is flat. No way to hold a smaller tap. I returned and will try another brand.

As advertised, I really can’t review the quality of this yet as I haven’t used it, but looks to be a very good piece. Delivery was great too

I'm fairly new to using tap and die sets so keep in mind that my opinion comes from a beginners perspective. I purchased this item in order to help me use my taps to cut threaded holes into various places on a motorcycle I was rebuilding. I discovered this thing existed after screwing up a few holes and watching some instructional videos. It did its job well and helped me get consistently straight holes in the pieces I was working with. Wish I would have found this sooner and saved myself the aggravation.

This device works as intended. The spring is strong as Nd has some adjustment.

The spring pin has a slight movement in it that makes it a little difficult to line up the tap properly. It would be better if the tolerances was closer on pin. I would not recommend this product.

There are many much higher priced/quality products, but this works just fine.

I enjoy using this tap, I do some wood working projects and metal working too, it comes in very handy during my home shop activities. If there are others doing this sort of work don’t overlook this nice tool.

This does what it's supposed to, no issues. I use it on my wood lathe with an el-cheapo Irwin 1/4" tap holder and get great results. Good spring strength.

Bought 2 of these together. One works just fine "perfectly good", however the other is drilled off at an angle where the pin is located and the pin gets jammed badly once it's been depressed about half way. Female of reversible side is flat as opposed to concave of some tap followers.

This tap guide is a great. It has a spar tip and a very strong spring to give you great pressure to get your tap started. I would recommend this to any Machinist I know!

I bought this for a guy at work but secretly I wanted to see what kind of quality this was for such a cheap price. Well as you can expect it was not B&S quality like the one I have in MY toolbox. In fact, I don't think they even ground the small shank. It slides in and out like a turned shank. But hey, it is on center and holds the tap just fine. That's all you need - isn't it? I told him to keep it and his cash. It was worth my curiosity.
