Adapter Kit Makes Taps Easier To Use
“I came up with this adapter because it’s always a pain to use a Vise-Grip or a crescent wrench to turn a conventional tap,” says Iowa farmer and machinist Eliot Evans. “Standard wrenches don’t fit conventional taps, so my tap adapter, which has a pattern like a bolt head, just fits over the top of the tap so common wrenches can be used to turn it.”
Evans worked on his invention almost 3 years before finalizing and patenting the product, which he calls Make Sense Tap Adapters. They fit all common fractional taps up to 3/4-in. standard and 22 mm metric. He sells the adapters as a set that includes a stand, set screws and an allen wrench for $60. “The adapters are fully-machined CNC parts made from 4140 heat-treated steel,” Evans says.
Evans’ adapters made quite a splash nationally when he was invited out to California to show them to Jay Leno. He got to visit Leno’s famous garage where he stores his collection of more than 200 cars and motorcycles.
Make Sense Tap Adapters are simple and unique. “You might not need them every day, but they’re very handy to have around.”
