This set is very good value for money and the quality is better than I expected for the price. Ok it's not full engineering machine shop quality but for occasional use on DIY projects it can get you out of a jam. Use cutting paste and clear swarf often with reversing every half turn.

Fit & finish leaves a lot to be desired as the tap wrench (chuck type) is useless (mine went in the bin). Fortunately, I already have a wrench that serves this purpose. The die holder is excellent and holds dies firmer than others I have tried. I also like the metal box rather than the usual plastic that comes with sets of this price. So, for me, it was good value. However, I wouldn't recommend it because it requires an alternative tap wrench to the one supplied and purchasing a separate wrench would take it out of the 'good value' bracket. For this reason, I cannot describe the kit as 'good quality'. The taps and dies are fine so, if you have a spare tap wrench or some other means of holding the taps, you can make a reasonable saving.

I’d been putting off repairing my splash shield to my Ford Escape/Maverick xlt for awhile now,unfortunately the original fixings had deteriorated so much that when I tried to access the engine they snapped off so I’d been using plastic rivets,anyway 100 rivets later I finally got round to buying a tap and die set and was very surprised how easy it was to use (always remember to thread a 7mm hole you need a 6mm drill bit) my only gripes were that the handles of the thread making drill bit (Tap) stood out to proud making it hard to keep parallel while turning a thread in a confined space ,the sump under each thread bit in the box could of had the number of the bit too so as to put back in correct place, I also found the tools themselves abit brittle but for £20 I say it was a great starter kitRead full review

Excellent range of metric size taps and dies made from good quality materials and well presented in the purpose made metal container. Includes a thread gauge too which takes the guesswork out of judging the correct thread depth for any particular job. Ideal product for the DIY enthusiasts.

Great product & a very good price. I've never used a tap & die set before....I needed to rethread a 12mm bolt hole in my car, and this kit was quick & easy to use and had me sorted in no time. Very happy!
