Drill America - DWT57129 1/4-20 High Speed Steel 2 Flute Spiral Point Tap, DWT Series

Works great.

While taps break, it sucks this one broke so quickly. If I had more than one to review I would either give it less or more stars, but since I cant properly test if it was just a fluke, I give it 3 stars.

Quick shipping. Only used it for a single cross threaded hole. Fixed my issue in 2 minutes. So worth the $7!!!!!!!

#8--32 tap worked well. I used as a re-threader in an old junction box so I could use two semi-corroded screw holes

Nothing to dislike. It was properly packaged, arrived on time, looked pristine, and worked like a champ.

I am a Machine Tool Field Service Technician for the past 23yrs and have drilled and tapped literally countless holes (thousands), especially 1/4-20. I install CNC and DRO retrofit systems on machine tools. I purchased 10 of these taps to try and unfortunately, I am somewhat disappointed with their performance. I ended up snapping two of them on their first time usage. For some reason, they just didnt perform well at all. Just tapping through holes in machine tool castings. I dont plan on using the other 8 taps

They work well.

I needed to tap a piece of metal on my shower valve. This tap, along with the handles I bought separately, did the trick. This was a hand tap. But it says its suitable for high speed tapping. Maybe Ill try that, too.

The price is right but you get what you pay for. It seems like a Chinese tap to me. Broke one after 14 taps. Set up on a Bridgeport, low rpm should not have been a problem.

ordered a pack of 12 taps. assumed they would all be right hand. some of them were left hand and useless.
