Far better quality than I expected. Tapped a few holes in cast iron yesterday with no problems. Solid set. Would definitely recommend.
Eulalia Goodwin (verified owner) –
So far it works very well. My only concern is if the threads will hold up.
Verdie Gleichner (verified owner) –
Good quality and performs like it should.

This is a very nice, comprehensive tap & die set. For the price and for how often I need taps and dies (not that often), I really like this set. I gave 4 stars because it is not of highest quality, but for the money it is great. Many of the taps & dies have some flashing, not sharp and crisp edges like a high priced set would have, but still not bad. I like the ratcheting handles, and I have an old static handle to use if I don;t want the ratcheting. For hobbyist and small business, this set should serve well.

This GearWrench Combination SAE/Metric Tap and Die Set is very good. It includes 34 of the most common sizes of both SAE and metric taps and dies; Ratcheting “T” wrench; Small and medium tap adapters; Die adapter; Spacer adapter to allow use with round dies; SAE and metric screw pitch gauges; Sliding “T” handle. The fitted case is excellent for keeping everything organized. I didn’t think I’d like the ratcheting “T” wrench because I ALWAYS back off ¼ turn or so to clear chips while cutting threads. However, with the 5 degree arc, I found it very easy to just flip the lever to reverse it, and in some tight places, the 5 degree arc of the ratcheting wrench would certainly be helpful. If needed, the sliding “T” can be used. The die adapter with the “Twist Lock Guide System”, to keep it centered, is a very good feature. However, the adapters have a ball bearing in the end preventing the use of a “Center Tap Guide” (see photo below) which is something I generally try to use when tapping. To use a Center Guide, I’ll have to use my other tap holders. . I tapped four 3/8-16 holes in my drill press table for my cross-feed vise and found the tap to cut extremely well, and clean One of the bolts used for that had some bad threads and I used the die to clean the threads up. That cut extremely well also. Instructions are not needed, or included, but some literature would be nice. The only literature included is the handy tap/drill size chart. I had to go to another seller’s web site to find ANY other information about this set, and even that was incorrect. I’m very pleased with this set and can recommend it.

I am impressed with this set for the price. It has everything you need up to 3/4″. The machine work on the taps & Dies looks quite sharp. I have only used one so far to clean up threads and it worked great, but this is not a very good test. The storage box is very nice and the hand tools are impressive. The smaller “T” handle even comes with a 3/8″ adapter so that you can use it with your 3/8″ sockets as a driver. In one of the questions in this advertisement some one said that the set was made in Mexico, mine says it is made in Taiwan. The only reason I did not give this set a 5 star was because the add stated that it had a limited lifetime warranty. When I read the fine print after I got it, it states that the hand tools are guaranteed but the taps and dies are normal wear and tear, bummer.

Man, worked like a charm. I am not a mechanic buy any stretch and so for me to utilize this tool and get work done is saying something about this tool Definitely would recommend. Love the ratchet feature.

Looking at the pictures, particularly of the case I had assumed like most other cases it would be flimsy, particularly the red tap holders. I was proven quite wrong. This is a very well built set and upon initial inspection I am very impressed. I originally purchased this so that I would have the taps and dyes but primarily for the wrenches and adapters. I figured I would be replacing the taps as they broke with higher quality. Thus far I have had no issues with anything breaking or cutting less than good quality threads. I would highly recommend this set over more expensive high-speed steel sets. This will perform more than well enough and you get good quality tools that are easier to grip and if you late than the old style t-handles.The only problem with this and thus the only reason it did not get 5stars is due to HomeDepot advertising it as a 117 piece when it is actuality a 114 piece.In all this set is well built and well worth the money.

This is without a doubt, the best tap and die set I’ve ever used!! Yes the ratcheting handles are great, but I’m talking overall quality!! I’d take this set over the more expensive and lower quality Hanson/Irwin set ANYDAY!! For the price you get a very diverse and good quality set!!!

Haven’t had a chance to really put it to the test yet but from what I’m seeing I think it will be a work horse.

This set of Tap and Dies in English and metric sizes is outstanding.it comes in a well constructed carrying case and everything is very well made. It has a tremendous capacity from very fine to very large sizes. Home Depot gave a great value on this in comparison to other options. Very pleased.

I have gotten so much mileage out of this set. Beyond the legitimate uses of the product, I’ve found it endlessly useful for chasing / cleaning threads and repairing damaged threads. It gives you a great confidence when doing repairs to know you’re doing something “the right way” instead of merely getting something to work “good enough”. With this set, there are a lot of projects I’ve been able to tackle that I otherwise wouldn’t, and projects where I can affect more professional work than prior. In four years, the set has never let me down and only once did I run into a size / pitch combination that the set did not cover. Money well spent.
Dessie Bradtke (verified owner) –
Overall this is a great set. I have used it multiple times since receiving it just a month or so ago. Only found 3 issues to beware of.1. When using the larger die, the retaining ring that keeps the ratcheting mechanism popped out. It seems that under pressure it isn’t that sturdy and comes loose. 2. There is no easy way to apply more torque to the large die where it’s needed. There are a few adapters that connect to a standard ratchet, but can’t be used with there die. 3. There are larger sizes that i could have used, but realize that for a hand tool this may be difficult to use given the torque needed.
