Are tap wrenches classified under HSN 8204?

No — tap wrenches are explicitly excluded from HSN 8204 even though they're a type of wrench. List them under their own applicable heading, not this one.

Does HSN 8204 cover power-operated spanners too?

No, this heading is for hand-operated spanners and wrenches only. A power tool version belongs under a power-tool heading instead.

What about interchangeable spanner sockets sold on their own?

HSN 8204 covers interchangeable spanner sockets whether or not they come with handles — a socket set sold separately from the wrench body is still classified here.
