Descriptions:
1. Spiral flute design, upward chip removal. Right hand thread cutting, clear threads with no burrs, fast tapping with accuracy.
2. High-speed steel tool is with high hardness and toughness for wear resistance, good for general purpose applications. Features nitriding coated surface for rust prevention and long service life.
3. Suitable for processing holes and sticky materials. Great for drilling and tapping aluminum, die steel, stainless steel, bronze, hard plastics, etc..
4. Used on drilling machines, tapping machines, CNC and milling machines. Use with tapping oil to get higher quality threads and more durable taps.
5. Machine taps are suggested to be used with tap collets with overload protection. Hand use is easy to cause damage to the tap due to uneven force.

I had a lot of holes to tap, >100. This on a dewalt impact driver made short work of it.

The taps arrived quickly and I immediately put one of them to work.The cut extremely well, proving to be quite sharp and the machining is exceptionally clean.Chip removal is fantastic due to the design of the tap and I'm extremely pleased with them.I'll be ordering more to keep in my tool chest.After using these spiral design taps, I really don't intend on going back to the more traditional design as they simply snap and break too easily. These spiral taps, due to the drill bit design really help to move the chips out of the way, making sure the taps are cutting fresh metal and not re-cutting work hardened chips which bind a tap.Yes, I would recommend these taps.

I bought these to tap extruded aluminum ends. I was using a hand drill at very low revolution speeds, I mean creeping. I had a very thin stream of compressed air in the hole/tap to keep chips from building up. WD40 in a small squeeze dropper with a blunt needle tip was used for lubrication. I found it only takes about 5 drops to be good enough and maybe adding a few while tapping if it feels like it’s binding up. I was taping up to the shoulder of the tap which is about an inch and an eighth deep. I didn’t have any big issues however I did have one break off in the hole after about 80 holes. I don’t think it was the taps fault, it was most likely the hand drill wobbling while holding it. I managed to tap 104 M5 holes and 136 M6 holes in extruded aluminum using the uxcell spiral taps. These threads don’t seems to be the tightest fit to any of the bolts I have, but cinch up solid without stripping the new threading. I will be buying another pack of uxcell M5 to replace the broken one since this brand seems quite durable.

These taps work very well in steel using power drill.

Bought this to tap 12 holes in a small setup jig. In general you want spiral flutes on your tap for blind holes of which only two of the 12 were in this setup. The good news is 10 holes got threaded through quarter inch mild steel. Used plenty of tap magic and by number 11 it was already dull enough that it snapped off. I guess they’ve known this is an issue because it’s a two pack of taps. This was ok, finished the job, but the commercial 5mm bolts I used were too tight until I ran them in and out 3-4 times each. That could have been the hardware as my thread wires don’t go small enough to mic the bolts so I’ll give the taps the benefit of the doubt. $10 for 2 5mm taps was reasonable, but I was hoping to get more life out of the tap. It wasn’t long ago you could expect a few dozen holes out of a tap before you even noticed wear on the teeth let alone being worried about it failing. I’m running these in well above hobby grade equipment, I would think the average person that doesn’t do this stuff all the time is going to be 50/50 at best of snapping this in their first hole. Normally I would stay away from this metric hardware purely based on its cost in my area, but the socket heads on the bolts had to be able to pass through 3/8 holes with some clearance which would mean a #8 in imperial, I felt the 5mm bolt will be stronger in the long run over a #8 machine screw. A weak bolt could wreck a couple thousand dollar piece it’s holding in the jig, so I wasn’t going the cheap route. I wouldn’t by this brand again, but at least the job got done.

Over sized the hole .010†and it still snapped.Couldn’t possibly be made of quality material.
