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

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?"

Worked great

The tap set (I ordered #8-32 3-piece set) arrived promptly. It was nicely packaged and appeared to be of good quality. The cutting surfaces were sharp, and the taps nicely finished. I used them to tap several blind holes in brass, and they worked just fine. Other reviewers have complained that they are flimsy and not durable, but I certainly didn't observe that. They seem just like any other tap I have used in the past. I'd definitely recommend them.

Taps worked great. Nice set to have.

Drill America seems to make good taps and drill bits . They hold up well

Worked well and came in its own container

Arrived quickly, and worked perfectly!

I was replacing plastic casters on metal plant Dollys. The plastic caster had a stud that screwed into the dolly about a quarter of an inch. The replacement casters had a stem that was longer. I need to extend threads in a plant dolly to get a more secure installation. Overall I purchased three of these taps. Great quality. I did use cutting oil and cleaned out the hole before and after. I cleaned the tap after each use. I have twenty of these dollys and replaced four casters on each.

This set of taps is NOT what is shown in the photo to be a set of three taps taper-mid-bottom taps but what arrives is a single tap. Don’t be fooled by the photo and lack of item description like I was, buy elsewhere!

Parts had a coating that looked like rust, but isn't.Good tools, they work fine. Great delivery, I am happy!

Works as described

Does the job as it was intended......Would buy again as long as the price is competitive

Broke several brand-name taps when tapping into railroad spikes for a small DIY project, but those held on. Positively surprised.
