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

This is a taper tap which easily advances in a prepared hole of correct size or for use in chasing damaged threads. Good value for the money.

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.

Fast Prime delivery and solid unit. Thank you

Works great for the price

Good price for my needs easy to use for re-tapping holes

My first/only use of these so far was to tap some holes in brass, drilled about 1-1.5 inches deep down the length of 2 brass rod (so the holes were not through-holes, and required bottom tapping). These got the job done with no fuss. Mileage may vary on harder metals, but I had no problems getting these holes tapped perfectly in brass with these taps using a little cutting lubricant (did them slowly by hand). For the money, I felt it was good value to get all 3 varieties.

I used this to chase threads in blind holes in an automotive cast iron housing prior to reassembly. It did the job I needed and after waiting for more than two weeks for the local hardware to obtain one of these taps, I had this one through amazon to use in two days for slightly less cost.

good!

I bought the set for a one-time use of this odd size (M13x1.5). Price was right at about 1/3 the cost of other taps but the steel isnt top quality. The worked well to cut the threads I needed in cast 6061 aluminum. They came out clean, sharp and accurate but I dont think the taps will hold up for the long haul. Theyre a very good value for limited use. If you need to cut a lot of threads or plan to keep them for years, youd be better off spending more and getting better quality tools.

i like that it was cheap and they gave you 3 taps. it did what i needed it to do but was starting to show wear immediately, probably not an heirloom tool. if you need it for a one time use then it may suit your needs
