Abstract

See full text

A tap sleeve for accepting one of a variety of different tap tools for use to repair thread damage to an item being assembled on an assembly line. The tap sleeve is configured with a handle portion configured to be held by the worker, and a base portion for securing the tap tool and limiting the depth in which the tap tool can be inserted, while avoiding damaging the surface of the item being worked and while preventing the hand of the user from slipping toward the tap tool. Optionally, a removable head can be used to adapt the tap sleeve for use with another tool, such as a wrench, to provide additional torque.
