Case does not hold the parts securely during shipping. The pieces were jumbled up inside the case when I opened it. Fortunately none of the taps rubbed against each other and ruined the cutting threads like I saw in another review. Can't ask for much more than this at the price point, though. Works great in aluminum and stainless steel.

Well, first off when I received it most of the dies, etc. were scattered throughout the plastic box, cardboard sleeve and envelope as they did not stay in place during shipping. One of the dies had seen extensive metal to metal contact and had a groove worn across the threads damaging it, making it unusable. I am still trying to get it replaced weeks later. The plastic case is of very poor quality and needs extra trimmed bubble envelope inserted between the two halves to keep everything from falling out or shifting spots. The steel and thread quality of the taps & dies and accessories are very low quality, mediocre at best. It is okay as I got them to cut and clean up threads in plastic 3D prints and they seem to serve in this function. I would not trust them in metal other than very light non-ferrous metal and am not sure how accurate they are? These are not for heavy duty mechanic type work but then for $17.00 that was not what I expected. I do have quality SAE sets and these are nothing like them in steel quality fit and finish. Just know what you are buying and the limitations of what you are buying them for!Read full review

For the price, it definitely meets my needs. I almost immediately configured an 8 mm x 1.25 tap and set to work redoing the failing threads, in two threaded holes, on the side of my aluminum engine head. Worked beautifully. If I have a suggestion for improvement, it would be to make the markings, identifying each piece DARKER. Currently, the identifying marks will wear off rather quickly, leaving me guessing what sizes they are.

I got this little beauty by accident, I didn't read the ad closely, now I'm glad I did because every once in a while I need a metric tap or die. It's already paid for itself in time saved. Personally I don't use metric that much, but when I do need one it's nice to have. Great deal for getting the job done. I wouldn't use them on tough metals, I got them for the quick and easy tapping. It looks like they are intended for more delicate jobs.
