Anyone who buys cheap tools knows your buying it to get a job done. ( as in 1 job done). Then throw it away. Because next time you use it it’s going to break on you. Now these things I haven’t done one successful job yet. The first job was on galvanized pipe it went in as a tap came out looking like a framing nail!! The second was aluminum round stock. “ the round stock won”!! That’s right aluminum !!! Third cleaning grease off a bicycle axle. Finally some sort of success. Hmmm a 3$ wire brush would have been just fine. And faster.

The factory that made these does not understand the concepts square or center. The holes are all over the map. The cutting surface are burred up and mushed. The surface finish looks like the metal has been smeared not cut. I tried to use a 8mm die on some mild steel and could not get it to start. I tapered the stock on the lathe down to 7mm with a heavy champher and still could not get it to start. I grabbed the 10mm die and it would not cut at all. A quick test with a file revealed that these are not hardened and file like butter.

You get what you pay for,cheap quality. I had to go and purchase individual size taps that I needed to do the job.Save your money and purchase something that has a reputable name,you’re going to pay more for the product but it will last you for years to come. I don’t recommend this product

If you need a set of taps and dies for a home that will not be used in a business this is quite adequate. I have a small work area and need to tap a hole or chase the threads occasionally. These sets work great for that purpose

NICELY PRICED SET, BUT, THERE ARE SOME WIERD SMALL METRIC SIZES THAT I WILL PROBABLY NEVER USE. THE PIECES, ESPECIALLY THE TAPS LOOK STAMPED. AS LONG AS I AM JUST CHASING THREADS THEY MAY BE OK. I DON'T THINK I'LL TRY CUTTING ANY THREADS WITH THEM THOUGH. AS THEY BREAK I'LL BE ABLE TO REPLACE THEM WITH IRWIN'S OR HANSON'S YA KNOW SOMETHING OF BETTER QUALITY. THE STORAGE CASES SEEM TO BE HANDY THOUGH
