GEARWRENCH 75 Piece Ratcheting Tap and Die Set, SAE/Metric - 3887

Low durability Even using industry leading tap oils, we still find that the taps dull very quickly under light use. Infrequently, the taps are used for odd jobs that do not fit into our machines, but we still find that they are dull very quickly under light use. If we get 1, we may get With the M10X1, 1 out of 4 holes in stainless steel were tapped for a total of 5 inches. There was only a maximum of five taps before it refused to continue. There is a limit on the thread depth Since the shanks of some taps are not relieved to the smallest point, you can only tap deep into the threaded portion of the shank. It is a rather simple fix, but it is a big oversight. At the grinder, the taps had to be manual relieved in order to get them to full depth on those sizes where they had the The selection is of taps is pretty nice it includes everything except the smallest ones, and taps that would be so large that they would have to be custom made. Please note Drivers It's clear that the ratcheting driver is a 2 star product. As the ratchet changes direction, it freewheels frequently and, when under torque, it slips or starts to freewheel. It is also common for the actuator to reverse the tap direction to get hammered a lot when you are using the unit, resulting in a more serious problem. The Collet Nut System is as follows I like how easy it is to use the collet nut system! This is a beautifully crafted lock that is tightly secured. In a nutshell Basically what I was searching for was a tap kit that would fit all my needs in a CNC machine shop that we couldn't do on our The set does not seem to live up to its reputation. In terms of the box, it is an ideal tool box, and as I replace the taps with higher quality ones, I will have a better set, but the core pieces seem to have issues. It's not the quality I expected for its.

The gear wrench has become a favorite of mine As for snap on quality, I don't need or want to pay for it anymore (and sometimes they give nylon gear reduction teeth anyway, so why bother), and gearwrench has lately nailed it with its value. There seems to be good quality in the set, and I expect it to last me for many Although I am not a body shop, I will restore about two cars each year, along with other maintenance, and possibly swap a motor or a transmission. I would not use them if I were a CNC machine shop. For my use, they would work, and micros would be fine In other words, the precision is decent when you check out other pieces. The seller's description is not to be believed. If mine weren't sold by Gearwrench, I could have forgiven it but at the bottom of the page where they list the pieces, someone typed in everything on the included tap chart. I bought the entire set since I needed 5/8-inch taps. Its not what it says, but it does not have what it says! As you guessed, the answer is yes. (If you are reading this) I agree, maybe a pro line that includes those larger odd sizes might be nice. Since I stopped working in garages 20 years ago, Matco won't have any interest in me. . . even though my garage is as well equipped as many My business would be better if someone with a quality name was interested in me.

All dies, chucks, and handles are loose in their marked locations, so the case has to be opened with a topside label.

I have tried it on the M7 dies did not go over existing M7 threads without cutting a significant amount of metal out of the box. On a 7mm rod, it was impossible to start a thread. In order to remove 0, I had to go back and change it. A 05mm starting point is required for threading. As a result, the thread is too loose, and the specifications are out of line. An extremely frustrating experience. To buy a decent quality set, I'm not sure what else to buy on Amazon.
