Drill America 3/8-16 UNC High Speed Steel Tap Set

Did the job.

product as described

Only one tap is a bottom tap. The other two are standard tapered taps.

I needed the bottom tap and used all three. they worked great with ease.

Good HSS taps for us

They worked perfect. The price was perfect since I won’t have a use for left handed taps very often. I used them in aluminum and were sharp enough to make clean threads. I don’t think there will be any issues using them in steel.

Item not as described and pictured, TWICE! First order received was in a small damaged plastic flip lid box with 3 compartments but only a single PLUG tap. Requested replacement. Received second shipment in 2 days to Amazons credit but again it was wrong! This time i received a similar 3 compartment plastic flip top box with an identical label on it that contained 3 IDENTICAL spiral point taps none of which should have been included in this set!!! Attempted a second replacement request only to have system tell me that amazon could not accept my request at this time!! This is not rocket science. 1 SET of taps as pictured and described = PLUG TAP, BOTTOM TAP, TAPER TAP. There is a reason for each of these taps and thats why i was ordering this item. Can we get it right folks? Clearly whoever is packaging these items doesnt have a clue what the difference is. If you are confused, look at the pictures posted in the listing and compare the items with those pictures.

I used grade 8 bolts into schedule 40 pipe after drilling and tapping. The tap started and cleaned easy.

Just one tap. Expected 3 as shown in picture.

All three styles of taps are included in this purchase.
