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

Used it the first second I got a chance with proper cutting fluid. Extra careful 1/4 turn and back out a little to break the chips. Broke off inside of the hole.

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

Did the job.

The taps shown are not what I recieved, they had a point at the front of all of them and on the backs of two of them. But they did work great for what I needed.

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

Apparently there QC is not very astute. The tap packaging was labeled as 1/2-20, however the actual taps in the package. Well they were 1/2-13. Verify the actual item matches the package label, that is the lesson to learn from this.

Item not as described and pictured, TWICE! First order received was in a small damaged plastic flip lid box with 3 compartments but only a single PLUG tap. Requested replacement. Received second shipment in 2 days to Amazons credit but again it was wrong! This time i received a similar 3 compartment plastic flip top box with an identical label on it that contained 3 IDENTICAL spiral point taps none of which should have been included in this set!!! Attempted a second replacement request only to have system tell me that amazon could not accept my request at this time!! This is not rocket science. 1 SET of taps as pictured and described = PLUG TAP, BOTTOM TAP, TAPER TAP. There is a reason for each of these taps and thats why i was ordering this item. Can we get it right folks? Clearly whoever is packaging these items doesnt have a clue what the difference is. If you are confused, look at the pictures posted in the listing and compare the items with those pictures.

Used for threading bored out delrin rods. Worked great. Excellent results.

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

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.
