I have several different holders, is a small 3/8 holder designed to use the 16ER series inserts, the one I use the most is a TLSR-163D Top Loc that I modified by cutting a dovetail in it so that it mounts directly onto the QCTP on my 12 inch lathe and the inserts I have are some that I got off of the Evil Bay for like cheap but I like it cause it does a decent job of threading, not sure on the insert number but I know that there are a couple different ones cause some are purple and some TIN coated.
I also have both a right and left vertical threading holders but don't care for them too much, something about them I can't put my finger on that I don't like.
David,
Post some pictures of the tools you've got. That will help a lot.
