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

Works as intended.

Great tap set at a good price.

First order had only two of the three taps, no bottoming tap. The replacement had only one tap. Ni shrink wrap or other packaging other than the plastic box for either set. So, the replacement is also going back. Dont waste your time ordering this.

I love the different coarse of cut on each tap. Cut straight through solid steel and each finer tap made a clean cut for my bolts to snug up into.

I needed a tap that would thread deeper than the shank. The ones in the illustration would do that. The 1/4-20 taps that were delivered will not. That said, these taps are nicely made and should work well for a lot of applications.

Good HSS taps for us

product as described

Delivery was timely, cost was righteous, quality was good.

Got a set of two tapers and a plug. Complained and got another set as replacement. Same thing. If you really need a bottoming tap I guess you need to order it separate. Quality was not bad.

The cheap sets you get at mass retailers are okay, but theres no substitute for having a taper tap, a regular tap, and a bottoming tap all in the same size for some jobs, and the cheap sets you see usually only have regular taps. I still use my cheap taps, but when Im, working on something special like a steam engine kit, I order up one of these sets in each size Im going to need.
