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

Great addition for the hobbyist, starting and bottoming taps included.

Small taps need to be high quality and these are. Good value too.

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.

These are not high speed taps, so if you put them in your cordless drill to tap a number of holes, there is a good chance youre going to break at least one. I guess thats why they come in 3s.

cant have to many 1/4x20 taps

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.

Just what I needed.

Was just tapping aluminum, but did a great job. Had some mounting bolt threads that stripped on a Kohler engine. I drilled them deeper, and tapped with this set. The bottoming tap gave me a few more threads to screw in to.

I am frustrated at the photo not accurately representing the product. The product photo shows the threads wider than the body so you can tap both sides of a tube with a single tap. What was delivered did not look like the photo. I wouldn’t have ordered them.

Works as intended.
