Default Taps - the thread cutting kind

As a supplementary: what kind of tap wrench is preffered. The straight
bar type or the tee handled chuck type?

In my past work experience; the second type you mention was used with small
taps mainly, and the first type with larger ones. I don't remember seeing
any small straight bar type ones (my Screwfix HSS set has only a large
straight bar one).
I think that you will find the tee handled chuck type wrench more
comfortable and more "sensitive" to use with small taps (in my humble
opinion, of course).
