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

Nicely made taps, but not a set of 1 each of taper, plug, and bottoming taps as described. Replacement set the same so did not bother to return replacement set.

Just one tap. Expected 3 as shown in picture.

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

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

Always a great product. Never had any issues. Keep em lubed.

These taps DO NOT have the center for using a tap follower as pictured.

Worked Great , Good Products ,Great quick delivery as needed as soon as possible to straighten out a Club Car President with Frt. End Lift issue.

These taps were marked HSS and 12-24. There were no other markings for either manufacturer or country of origin on either the taps or the packaging. Are they counterfeit? Who knows? The good news is that they do have the correct pitch and diameter and at least cut in soft metals. These are quite inexpensive taps, so this is probably a reasonable deal for incidental use. They worked fine for the thread cleanup that I have done, but I would probably not use them in production.

I love the different coarse of cut on each tap. Cut straight through solid steel and each finer tap made a clean cut for my bolts to snug up into.

This is not a set. It is only one item. Pictures are very misleading.
