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.

I needed the bottom tap and used all three. they worked great with ease.

Only one tap is a bottom tap. The other two are standard tapered taps.

The taps shown are not what I recieved, they had a point at the front of all of them and on the backs of two of them. But they did work great for what I needed.

I used grade 8 bolts into schedule 40 pipe after drilling and tapping. The tap started and cleaned easy.

Works as intended.

The tap set (I ordered #8-32 3-piece set) arrived promptly. It was nicely packaged and appeared to be of good quality. The cutting surfaces were sharp, and the taps nicely finished. I used them to tap several blind holes in brass, and they worked just fine. Other reviewers have complained that they are flimsy and not durable, but I certainly didnt observe that. They seem just like any other tap I have used in the past. Id definitely recommend them.

Just one tap. Expected 3 as shown in picture.

Just what I needed.

Had no problem tapping a through hole in stainless steel. Use lots of oil (even cooking oil is OK).
