It’s a great tap and die set. You just have to get your drill bits.

I dont know how many times I have wished I would have had a good complete tap and die set when working on small engines and other mechanical things. Well this set covers it very nicely. The different options of dies is great and covers just about all of the sizes of threads I have been working on. I commonly chase threads on bolts that I have pulled out of stuff just to make sure that they are clean and will go back in the hole smoothly. When I drill out a stuck bolt, then I tap the hole and insure that it is cleaned out before I put a new bolt in. This set so far has saved my hide on a snowblower and two lawn mowers. As far as I am concerned, its paid for its self already. I will keep you posted on how it does over the summer and into next fall.

This GearWrench 75 piece SAE/METRIC Tap and Die Drive Tool Set is as complete a tap and die set as most craftsman/mechanics will ever need or want, even including a metric and a inch screw pitch guage which will allow you to know exactly what the screw (metric or American ) is that you need to tap or chase the threads on, and believe me with what you buy coming from all over the world, knowing exactly what you are dealing with is extremely important! Only time will tell how long they will last, but based on looks, I will be surprised if I ever need to purchase another tap or die. The reason for the 4 star rating instead of a 5 is the lifetime warrant does not apply to Tap and Die components? I think that “GearWrench” may need to re-think that if they hope to compete in the quality tool market.

Nice large set to handle most needs, good quality, and excellent storage case (review video below). This set is both SAE and metric and ranges from 3mm to 12mm and #4 to 1/2 inch including both taps and dies. It also comes with metric and SAE thread pitch gauges, 2 tap collets which are nicely machined, and a ratcheting handle used for both taps and dies. I really like the plastic blow molded case that helps you keep the set organized and is well labeled so you don’t have to squint to read the tiny writing on the tools. The clasps on the case are better than the typical plastic case and I expect it to hold up better long term. Keep in mind to use the tap set you’ll need a set of numbered drill bits (not included). Fractional sets will not give you the right sized holes. It’s probably not a machine shop quality but I expect it to handle my needs for decades to come. About my rating:5 stars – Exceeds all expectations. Better than the competition in all aspects, design, cost, operation, and support (A+). 4 stars – Nicely done. Better than the competition and solves the problem. (B)3 stars – Works as expected. Has some shortcomings but gets the job done. Might be short in design, cost, longevity, or support. (C).2 stars – Falls short of expectations and needs improvement. Pass and look elsewhere. (D)1 star – Fails miserably. Does not get the job done, might even make things worse. Someone at the company should be fired. (F)

This useful set of taps and dies is capable of handling many thread forming operations. The easiest operation to perform is repairing an existing thread that has been damaged. Both bolts and nuts can be repaired with this set. Cutting new threads, both male and female, is also possible but takes some skill to ensure that the thread is aligned with the axis of the work-piece.
