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

Did the job.

Great tap set at a good price.

I had purchased these taps to clean out Frame Rail Weld Nuts in a 16 year old car. A lot of rust and road grime. The purpose was the installation of a new trailer hitch. When they first arrived I was impressed with the nice divided case that they came in. Very convenient especially considering the low cost of the set. That is where the good for this project ends. The first two snapped within minutes of use in the first nut. This was very surprising as I was using a T-Handle Tap Wrench and you cant get much torque with one. Im guessing these either had a bad temper or were from a bad batch of steel because the third lasted for the rest of the project (6 additional Weld Nuts). Next time Ill spend the extra money and get something a little higher quality.

Just one tap. Expected 3 as shown in picture.

Taps worked great

Had no problem tapping a through hole in stainless steel. Use lots of oil (even cooking oil is OK).

Great for the money.
