I have got from 0 ba to 16 ba, and use them all the time, along with with ME taps and dies. All the large steam fittings on mt steam plants are BSB or BSP (3/8 - 1/2)
Knowing the size of a 16 BA, the size of my thumbs, the poor old eyesight !!!! I'd have no chance with 25 BA (utill now I thought 16 was the smallest)  :-\

25 BA, just how do you read that from the shank?

I would really be struggling to find the tap wrench,   :o

With the same eyes that can see the SCREW / NUT in that size ?

but actually the main shank is a lot bigger than the cutting shank  O0
