Default "Great Neck" tap wrench doesn't grip tap

I bought a "Great Neck" Metric tap wrench set, but the wrench does not
grip a 6mm tap securely. The taps all have square ends, but there does
not seem to be anything in the wrench that is designed to mate with that
square end.

The "sure grip" chuck doesn't. Anybody familiar with these tools? Are
they normally OK (at least for occasional use)?

Perce


Great Neck = Made in China = highly variable quality in design &
manufacture.

Typically junk, not worth the gas or time to purchase.

Buy used on ebay or Craigslist,
you'll get better quality and keep the $'s in the US but not as
quickly available.

You can get it fast, right or cheap....pick two.
