Verdict. If you can handle the price tag on this set, there’s absolutely no reason not to get it. Irwin tap and die set has everything you could need. As a veteran machinist/toolmaker I have a lot of familiarity with all types of threads and thread sizes as well as the tools used to create them. I have hands-on experience using all sizes of threading tools so I know what features work best. My Recommendations

Verdict. This is an excellent, versatile, and high-quality tap and die set. There’s really nothing to complain about here. Even though the price is not low, it’s reasonable when you consider the set’s quality. Happybuy 110Pcs Tap & Die Set Tungsten Steel Titanium Tap & Die Metric Tool Tap & Die Combination Set For Cutting External & Internal ThreadsTap handles: The handles are used to rotate the tap into the hole. They typically feature a mechanism that allows the bit to be held firmly in the center of the handles. Both tap and die handles come in a variety of sizes to accommodate many applications.

Two-Piece Adjustable Dies. These are best if you want to create a long thread, but they require a relatively elaborate series of cutting operations where the die must be closed after every thread. This makes them somewhat unwieldy for beginners. d) All lots must be paid for in cash, or in other manner acceptable to the auctioneers, on the day of sale and before delivery is given. Taps and dies vary according to their diameter, pitch, and hardness. Diameter must vary because the diameters of holes in metal sheets and bolts, as well as of rods and nuts, vary. Pitch also makes a difference to the kind of threads created. Varying levels of hardness are also appropriate, depending on the type of metal that you are trying to work. Types of Taps and Dies I'm a home/hobbyist user of Tap and Dies, but I can understand why a Professional who uses these tools in a daily business setting can feel differently about what they need. But for my use at home, this is a great set, and for what you get, a very good price. I could not touch an equally configured Irwin/Hansen set for this price point. I have also used this set and it does a very acceptable job for my needs.Circular Dies. Circular dies are intended to give you a complete thread in a single operation. They are also tapered, making them the rough die equivalent of taper taps. Circular dies are the easiest for beginners to use.
