Pros & Cons
Pros
Tap and die set seems fine for our intended use (occasional hobby-related usage). Even if i break a tap i can replace it and put in the case which promises to last.
Cons
The dies don't even go 1/2 turn onto the bolts. If you apply enough force to turn them, they flatten the tops of the threads. The numbers are to never-ending recordings that drone on with long website addresses.
Highlights
Quality
Good set, comes with a lot and works really good
Good selection of taps and dies in a good case.
Tap made a very tight bolt through the toughest matco tool steel.
I tried to tap a 3mm thread through 1/8" steel and the chuck could not gripe the tap.
Price
A really good tap & die set for the money.
My cost was $3 for the bolt and flat washer.
Shop around - the prices vary - as low as $90 on sale.
Shipping
He loved the set and was so happy it arrived so quickly.
I drilled it out and tapped the next size up metric bolt (m12 vs m10) and i was on the road in no time.
Item arrived sooner than expected and has been used countless times since.
Competitiveness

Project farm on youtube reviews and does comparisons of many different items.
I have had another brand of tap and dies and several times had to borrow a friends craftsman taps because mine wouldn't work.
I ordered these to replace a 1980's set that my dad gave me hoping they would be at least half the quality, i've used a few tap... Read More
