I used to have a tap, most call a triple tap. *The one I had was
actually 6 taps. *It had a screwdriver handle and three taps on a
shank that you could flip in the handle and had 3 more.


I have not been able to find this online. *Anyone know who makes
these?

Those multi-taps are cool when you need to clean up the threads
on some sort of panel cover or electrical box...

They aren't really meant to do much more threading than that...

Definitely much easier to carry one reversible tool in the tool
bag when up in a bucket lift than it is to carry a tap set...


I've used mine for adding a ground screw to an old box that I don't
feel like busting out of the wall and replacing... pre-grounded stuff
era boxes don't usually have the tapped holes in the back for the
ground screw
