Try this: Model #318-0007

It is, indeed a hand tapping machine. The one listed is over $200, but
I'm sure I paid something less than $100 for the identical machine.


If you don't want to spend anywhere near that much, here's a great
alternative:

I don't think I've busted a tap in the 35 years I've owned one. I got it
after breaking a couple 4-40 taps trying to do stuff by hand. It's the
best $27 you'll on a tool.

Brownells stopped carrying theses for a while, and I'm really glad they
have them again. I need to buy several for the technicians at work.
