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

I bought a "Great Neck" Metric tape 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)?

Tap wrenches come in different sizes for a range of tap sizes. The tap
wench you have problems with is likely the wrong size.
