I have a T-handle that fits my three flute 2-56 taps. I do not remember where I bought it, and I cannot find another that will chuck down small enough to grab a 2-56 tap.
It does make life easier.

FWIW: For tapping a 2-56 screw into a bolster or draft gear box, I don't even bother with a tap and just use a screwdriver, as the metal screw will cut the threads into the plastic hole. And I've never had an issue with the screw going in crooked.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
Prob suffering from analysis paralysis, but looking at suggestions. The tap wrenches are used to screw in freight car trucks and couplers. I know micromark sells them but want to see if you suggest any from Amazon. Plan to get 2-56, 72, 80 trap sets.
Here are twp potential options:
