I used this set to complete a job that needed 24 holes tapped. I used plenty of lube, and they held up great, and are still sharp. Just go slow and gentle, as they are small and easy to snap if you horse them.

The tap set (I ordered #8-32 3-piece set) arrived promptly. It was nicely packaged and appeared to be of good quality. The cutting surfaces were sharp, and the taps nicely finished. I used them to tap several blind holes in brass, and they worked just fine. Other reviewers have complained that they are flimsy and not durable, but I certainly didn't observe that. They seem just like any other tap I have used in the past. I'd definitely recommend them.

I have only used this set once so far, but that's all I really hoped to get out of it. I have an aluminum AeroPrecision lower that came to me with a stripped or poorly threaded takedown pin mounting hole, which takes a 4-40 setscrew.I used the bottoming tap in this set and a little oil to successfully re-tap the mounting hole. These taps are tiny and any tap handle you already have will likely be too big. You need what is called a pin vise, basically a handle with a small collet on the end, to hold these small taps.These taps saved me a whole lot of hassle, dealing with returning a serialized item for warranty work. They cut quickly and smoothly, at least in aluminum. Worth every penny, even if I never use them again. Besides, what real man has ever said "I wish I had less tools?"

Id never used a tap in my life before and to save money I figured now was the perfect time to learn. This set is to be used with a hand tap wrench which I also bought from Amazon to be able to use these. In this set you get three different taps of the same size. One is tapered and is the one that is used when starting a new hole to be tapped. You then have another one that is basically a tap used to recut threads that have either become rusted or damaged in some way. And finally you have an end tap, that is this is the tap that you can run through the entire project and then back out to make sure that youve cleanly cut the threads. One thing I did learn about doing this is to take your time going a quarter turn then backing out then starting again to cut more thread. You do this until you have completely gone through the piece of metal then swap over to the end thread. Take some patience and time but its all worth it in the end.

I needed this because I am a BONEHEAD and made a stupid mistake.12-28 is far from a common thread and I expected more difficulty in finding one but Amazon came through.I have had some difficulty getting the correct tap in the past from Amazon. This time I was excited to receive a "Bottom" tap!Now that I have complimented Amazon and the seller, onto the tool!It is labeled as being the correct size and pitch, though there is no indication of Country-Of-Origin. The machining of the tap is good with nice sharp teeth and four flutes.i am confident this will turn out to have been a pleasant transaction with a piece of tooling I expect will work well for me in correcting my boneheaded mistake ;-)

I bought this to chase the threads on a transmission I'm rebuilding. It cleaned the hole so the bolt screwed in with no issues.

This set of taps is NOT what is shown in the photo to be a set of three taps taper-mid-bottom taps but what arrives is a single tap. Don’t be fooled by the photo and lack of item description like I was, buy elsewhere!

Broke several brand-name taps when tapping into railroad spikes for a small DIY project, but those held on. Positively surprised.
