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

product as described

Worked Great , Good Products ,Great quick delivery as needed as soon as possible to straighten out a Club Car President with Frt. End Lift issue.

I spent over 10 years in a machine shop and can say these are legit taps. Not the cheap carbon ones...these are HSS and ground well. True gun tap, bottom tap and plug taps.

This three tap set could be very useful however the set was supposed to include a taper, plug, and bottoming tap. The set I received included two taper and one plug tap. No bottoming tap was included.

These taps were marked HSS and 12-24. There were no other markings for either manufacturer or country of origin on either the taps or the packaging. Are they counterfeit? Who knows? The good news is that they do have the correct pitch and diameter and at least cut in soft metals. These are quite inexpensive taps, so this is probably a reasonable deal for incidental use. They worked fine for the thread cleanup that I have done, but I would probably not use them in production.

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.

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.

Taps worked great

Nicely made taps, but not a set of 1 each of taper, plug, and bottoming taps as described. Replacement set the same so did not bother to return replacement set.

I needed the bottom tap and used all three. they worked great with ease.
