Drill America 3/8-16 UNC High Speed Steel Tap Set

Package arrived, but not as described. A sleeve sized for one tap was labeled for a set. Only the taper tap was in the sleeve. Processed a return Some other sizes ordered were OK.

There 1/4 20 but there a cheap tap so be carful not to make a bad job even worse with them.

Works as intended.

Product came fast and they were packaged well. Nice set of taps. Perfect for what I needed.

Did the job.

One of the taps (the bottoming tap) fell out of the box some time before it got put into the bubble-bag for shipping. If I had _really_ needed the bottom tap I would have raised an issue with the seller but the other two taps did the job for me (it was a through-hole that I ended up using in both cases). Perhaps they could make sure that all of the tap boxes are taped before shipping.... NOTE: You do NOT have to send me a replacement tap!!! This is the first time in my life that Ive needed a 4-48 tap. (for storage spots for the little flat & ball-ended tips of a dial indicator and a little electronic height gauge)

Only one tap is a bottom tap. The other two are standard tapered taps.

They worked perfect. The price was perfect since I won’t have a use for left handed taps very often. I used them in aluminum and were sharp enough to make clean threads. I don’t think there will be any issues using them in steel.

one of the three broke immediately on light metal. not a happy camper.

I had purchased these taps to clean out Frame Rail Weld Nuts in a 16 year old car. A lot of rust and road grime. The purpose was the installation of a new trailer hitch. When they first arrived I was impressed with the nice divided case that they came in. Very convenient especially considering the low cost of the set. That is where the good for this project ends. The first two snapped within minutes of use in the first nut. This was very surprising as I was using a T-Handle Tap Wrench and you cant get much torque with one. Im guessing these either had a bad temper or were from a bad batch of steel because the third lasted for the rest of the project (6 additional Weld Nuts). Next time Ill spend the extra money and get something a little higher quality.
