Had broken battery post on golf cart, used this and a threaded insert to repair. Bit worked great, just have to drill slow in lead and clean the filings out as you go. Tap worked well, again went slow and cleaned as I went. Cart is now going again.

Broken screw in an HO locomotive frame.This tool worked to drill new hole and tap a 2-56 hole. Used some Labelle 102 lubricant while tapping the hole.Worked flawlessly.

When I received my package the tap was broken. Contacted Amazon and they made it right. Second tap and bit work great.

This is the first hole I've ever tapped. To say I'm a novice would be an understatement. But I bought the cheapest M6 tap/5mm drill combo on Amazon and threw caution to the wind. I drilled 2 holes in standard 1" wide bar steel from Lowes and then tapped them for an M6 bolt. The drill bit made short work of the drilling. It cut without much pressure and easily ate through the steel. I added a couple drops of oil for cutting fluid just to be on the safe side. I then put the tap in the handle, added more oil to the bit/hole and proceeded to cut threads in the hole. 1/2 turn forward, 1/4 turn back. The tap bit easily and I was left with 2 perfectly tapped holes in my project. My skill isn't what got the job done here, it was the tool. I don't know how this will hold up through the years but for this project, the price was right and the result was perfect.

This was my first time creating threads in ANYTHING. A buddy of mine had a tap and die set and of course the size I needed was damaged AND I didn’t have an exact drill bit for the hole size. So I ordered this here and took my time drilling straight and creating the new threads and it worked out PERFECTLY.Thank you for having one of the few sets that comes with both to create the hole AND to tap it.

How these taps have above 3 stars is beyond me. I work as a quality manager in a machine shop. Was in a pinch for some homemade parts that needed tapping so ordered this real quick to try out. The tap flexes so much when tapping the first hole that I was almost positive it was going to break just from how much it was twisting at the top near my tapping handle compared to the bottom as the cutting threads started to engage the hole. I stopped tapping at that point and decided to borrow a proper tap from work. I then continue to use this tap to start the threads and then used my tap from work to finish the threads. Needless to say on the third hole out of eight this tap broke only being two or three threads in...not too hard to get out but if I would have tried to cut more on the first hole it would have surely been a scrap part... Or maybe not since a standard drill bit is probably going to be harder than this tap... Even if the drill bit was from China it would probably still be tougher than this tap.

I've only used this on aluminum, but cuts nice threads

Only had one broken bolt to drill out and tap and this set worked perfectly. Seems like good quality steel, I’ll buy this brand again if I need something.
