Description

Your custom-made tap handle will be the talk of the party!
 
You can create your own tap handle and mount it with this threaded insert. Simply drill a 1/2" hole in the bottom of your wooden piece and thread the D1299 with a flathead screwdriver (a coin can also be used in a pinch!). When you’re finished, mount your custom tap handle to your faucet, pull a pint and admire your handiwork!
 
Internal threads are 3/8", 16 thread-per-inch. Mounts to any standard faucet.

Frustratingly functional
The outer thread on these are pretty aggressive, next time I'd go with a 5/8" drilled hole. My 1/2" (largest in a home bit set) were straight enough but once the first half of a thread caught purchase, the whole piece cocked to the side. I should have reset it, that's on me. I'm happy they weren't so aggressive that they split my mahogany.

Similar to a 2013 review, two of my three notches sheared off and I couldn't get these lined up with the icons correctly, so I'll need to attempt to undo those and pick up another couple.

Anyways, they got the job done for now. Very sloppy (cocked to the side, not lined up properly, brass thread still showing) but done.
The first one deceptively easy and straight.
Sloppy.
Broken tabs.

Make cool tap handle
Works great. You can make your own tap handles. I used JB weld to secure it to the handle which was plastic

Tap Handle Inserts
I bought a bunch of these from a Chinese part retailer a while back. These are much superior to those. Nice machining. Actual parts are nicer than the image shows.

Some experience required
This product definitely performs as advertised, but if you're not really good about drilling a well-centered, straight hole, well...it's not going to stand up straight on the faucet. Someone with more experience is going to get a better result.

As advertised
Bought 4 of these to make tap handles for my keezer. Drilled a half inch hole and used a 3/8-16 bolt with a nut to drive the insert into the wood with no issues. The only problem I had is that my brother in law liked my tap handles so much I had to give him one. I had to buy more of these inserts to make more tap handles.

Just about everything is now a tap handle!
Used these to make custom handles from NHL Lightning pucks for my TB Lightning keezer. Other that drilling the pucks, these things work perfect.

custom tap handle
drilled a .5 inch hole with a drill press as advised into the base of a hard wood tap handle. could not for the life of me get the insert to thread in strait and the notches in the top sheared off before it was completely threaded in. the end result was sloppy because the handles would not line up.

Response from MoreFlavor
I've been having the exact same problem! I ended up just drilling a 5/8" hole, putting some gorilla glue around the outside threads, and dropping the insert into the hole. The gorilla glue expands quite a bit, so I had to keep tabs on it while it dried. At the end of the day, though, the threaded insert ended up working fine and wasn't crooked.

Custom Tap Handles
I've picked up a number of these to make custom tap handles from a variety of items. Use a 1/2" spade drill bit on the base of a wood carving or resin sculpture. Screw in the dual-threaded insert with a bottle opener and voila, bad a** tap handle!
