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

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.

havent used them much but they work as expected and have not broken yet.

Used for manual thread cleaning. working well even w/o lubricant

I have bought products from this company before and have been satisfied with their products. With this product the diameter of the shanks was pictured as the minor thread diameter. The set arrived and the diameter of the shanks was the major diameter of the threads. This means that you cannot tap a deeper hole than the cutting length of the tap. This was contrary to Top Dogs question that was answered in 2020: Q: are the 1/4-20 taps like the web page picture, or like the customeer picture. In other words is the shank smaller than the minor diameter? A: As pictured By Top dog on December 7, 2020

Great for the money.

These tap are marked HSS and seem to be well made. Im threading in Bakelite so they should last awhile.

Individually contained in plastic containers so you can isolate them and be able know what they are and what they are I marked them as you can see in the photo.

Good solid tool

I was able to tap into a harden shaft with this. Did it very slowly and a lot of cutting fluid.

One of the taps (the bottoming tap) fell out of the box some time before it got put into the bubble-bag for shipping. If I had _really_ needed the bottom tap I would have raised an issue with the seller but the other two taps did the job for me (it was a through-hole that I ended up using in both cases). Perhaps they could make sure that all of the tap boxes are taped before shipping.... NOTE: You do NOT have to send me a replacement tap!!! This is the first time in my life that Ive needed a 4-48 tap. (for storage spots for the little flat & ball-ended tips of a dial indicator and a little electronic height gauge)
