Drill America DWTT1/2-13 1/2-13 Carbon Steel Taper Tap (Pack of 1), DWT Series, Uncoated (Bright)

I ordered a BOTTOM TAP. I received an angled spiral cut tap which is not what is described, not what I ordered, and not what the protective box it came inside said it was. I was able to get the job done but had to modify the item I was working on to do so.

Works great for the price

Bought to thread in a Grovtec Push Button Base into a Luth-AR MBA Buttstock. Easy peasy

This procuct met all of my expectations and was useful in the application I needed it for.

I’m not sure how long it will last but I don’t use taps very often and it served the purpose I needed it for

Nice tap. Made out of metal. Surprised that it came from China but looks as though it could have been made in India. Came with neat plastic storage box that pulls apart. I don’t know why but mine has a faint smell of a grilled cheese sandwich. If that troubles you then maybe you should see if they have different flavors? I bought this to repair bolt holes but I’m sure it will come in handy to throw across the shop or at something when I get frustrated. Makes a nice Christmas gift for the handyman that has everything! I just wish it could have been made in Mexico or at least California as I like to purchase high quality crap to use once and then throw away, but I suspect I’ll lose this one like I misplace everything else! Y’all have a great day and keep on tapping!

Jan2023: a performer for the price point, cuts cleanly with properly ground/dressed flute edges. Nickel-alloy content similar to more expensive taps thus easier to get started in steel.. At least the ones i received this order werent like the poorly manufactured threads you see too often.

The bottoming tap cutting edges were not formed properly or were rolling over.

Worked as advertised. Easy and did a great job.

I didnt need all 3 but it was a size I didnt have out of my 500 taps I have so I figured get all 3 . For me this is the size for my 3point hitch on my tractor
