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

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

I spent over 10 years in a machine shop and can say these are legit taps. Not the cheap carbon ones...these are HSS and ground well. True gun tap, bottom tap and plug taps.

Arrived in good time, and used in Aluminum material tapped gave a great thread.

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

Works great. Used it at work to tap out some screw holes.

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

I needed a bottom and plug tap for 8-32 metal/jewelry working and it took awhile to get all 3 types in one item and purchase price separately was not as good as this offering. They look perfectly all right, so it was felicitous.

Did the job.

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

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