Orion Motor Tech 80pc Tap and Die Set in SAE and Metric Sizes, Metric and Standard Tap Set and Die Tool Set for Internal and External Threading

These are quality taps and dies that will work for most applications. The metal box should last a long time. The plastic inserts could be more durable. Orion customer service is excellent.

Great kit, comes with everything you need for small projects or fixing threads.

Only getting 4 stars because the case these come in are soft, not sturdy. The pieces inside can fall out. Otherwise, they work great in the garage. When working on older cars, I prefer to chase the threads because of rust or corrosion. This kit does just that.

I am a machinist,and these are high quality for home and even for a business. I read the reviews and I find whining about the blow formed case very minimal reason.The readable stamped size is very comparable to all taps and dies .Even the high end MSC supplies are not any better at labeling .So get over that too. The way they ship with the taps on the bottom is the reason they fall out. When you get them reverse that and you will be happy for the rest of your days. DO NOT EXPECT THESE TO TAP STAINLESS STEEL. No taps do that very well. Tap oil is a must always. Special tap oil is required for S/S. Even aluminum require a different tap oil than mild steel. Taps break and it is mostly the users fault.If any part of this set is lacking its the handles .My experience with similar handles . The body of these can break , being cast white metal.The blow formed tool organizer, is an insert. Not the case, that is metal.

I used this 40 pc metric set to chase my fairing bolt/frame hole (M6x1.0) and spool (M8x1.25) threads on my 2018 Suzuki GSX-S750 since I damaged them by cross threading. Worked perfectly with some Tap Magic 30004P ProTap Cutting Fluid. No damage to die/tap and bike metals even though it was my first time.

I previously owned a few milwaukee taps and wanted to expand my collection, the old adage "you get what you pay for (despite the Amazon rating being above 4.0) seems to ring true. Upon arrival I tried a M8 1.0 tap in some predrilled 4040 extruded aluminum and was shocked at how much more difficult and strenuous it was compared to what i remember from the Milwaukees. I know aluminum gums up, but even after cleaning it off the threads were visibly worn after one hole, and so was I. I will give the product this; I thought I was going to break the collet or something twisting on it, and it did not break. Just to be sure it wasn't just that particular tap, I grabbed a 5/16 18 tap, because I owned the milwaukee counterpart. For every 2 turns of the milwaukee I got before needing to back out, I'd get about a quarter of a turn with this. That is with all other variables I could think of held constant. Maybe it does better in other materials, and the milwaukee taps do seem to have alot more reliefs notched in them, but I cant recommend this product for my particular task. The center punch is nice though, I lost my old one so that was a handy suprise.
