Review: Good Set - Got the set. Comes with a taper, plug, and bottoming tap. Cuts decent treads.
Review: Good Taps - I think 1/4-20 is my most-used tap, and I probably average 20 drill & tap holes a year. I’m not a professional machinist, just a home hobby guy. These taps have worked fine. I’ve yet top break one or wear one out. These are easy to use, wear well, and work as they should.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a 1 pack of 3 taps for 20.88 as pictured?? Or is it just one tap for 20.88??**
A: This is a set. Includes taper, plug and bottom taps. 3 taps, 1 set.

**Q: Do these taps have a center hole/dimple on the square end?**
A: Most taps 1/4" and larger have the hole. This is to accommodate a tap guide. On smaller taps, you can leave it in the handle which usually has this feature. Also, if your tap for whatever reason doesn't, chuck it up in your drill press. This is a good alternative to starting the tap straight. Moreover, if your chuck is large enough to accommodate it, you can chuck the tap handle. Hope this helps. Good luck. Stay safe.

**Q: What is the difference between a t/a tap set and a dwt set?**
A: If you mean a tap and die set the difference is a tap makes threads in holes for bolts to screw into and a die makes threads on the outside such as a bolt.

**Q: I don't understand how the sizing works. what is the differance between 5/8" -11 & a 5/8" -18?**
A: 5/8" -11; means 11 threads per inch.  And 5/8"-18 is 18 threads per inch. These are coarse threads & 1/4"-24, is 24 threads per inch having a finer thread.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Taps

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Work well and are well-made
*by C***O on February 1, 2024*

I have only used this set once so far, but that's all I really hoped to get out of it. I have an aluminum AeroPrecision lower that came to me with a stripped or poorly threaded takedown pin mounting hole, which takes a 4-40 setscrew. I used the bottoming tap in this set and a little oil to successfully re-tap the mounting hole. These taps are tiny and any tap handle you already have will likely be too big. You need what is called a pin vise, basically a handle with a small collet on the end, to hold these small taps. These taps saved me a whole lot of hassle, dealing with returning a serialized item for warranty work. They cut quickly and smoothly, at least in aluminum. Worth every penny, even if I never use them again. Besides, what real man has ever said "I wish I had less tools?"
