DIY Small Tap Wrench

Main body is made from a single piece of round bar taper turned down at each end, then milled flat in the middle on both sides. Drilled and tapped for M6 thread on the short side and counter bored deep enough for the tap to go all of the way to the middle. The counter bore was necessary due to both of my M6 taps having a limited maximum depth.

Finished Project

The bolt was again turned from a single piece of round stock. Turned to same size as the handle, knurled and then turned and threaded for M6. The hole was drilled in the centre, I then used a piece of tool steel mounted in the mill to slot the angled part of the hole. The slotting didn't come out particularly well so I had to finish up with a needle file - I'd probably just use a file next time.
