Where to buy a 1-1/2" pipe tap?

[Harvey]

Hi Guys and Happy Thanksgiving!

I have a temporary need for a 1-1/2" pipe tap and I'd like to know where to get one. I only need to get 4 uses out of it and don't imagine needing it ever again. Therefore, I need it as cheaply as possible without getting so cheap that it's not useable. Any suggestions?

Hmm, i'd see i homedepot rents taps, if not there might be a used tool dealer close that can rent one to you.
or ebay

Maybe a local tool rental place might rent one? Probably not. Look on Ebay, I didn't spend much time but found this:

Buy it, or another, and resell it.

Drop by my place and you can use mine. )

If you only need to tap a couple things, can you take it to a local guy (plumbing/gas/whatever) and just ask them to do it for a few bucks?

visiting a plumbing shop would be my choice too. that sounds like a nasty project. times 4

The residential plumbing shops that I checked with don't have taps up to 1-1/2". That's more of an industrial size and those shops who do industrial work charge industrial rates!

I will give Tried and True in Fridley MN a call/visit tomorrow (if they are open) there is a possibility they have one.
If they have one in reasonable condition, and a price that seems right, would you like me to purchase it for you and mail it?
