As an amateur woodworker, I needed a tap that could handle a variety of woods and thicknesses. As my tests showed, this tap exceeded my EXPECTATIONS! It effortlessly created clean and precise threads in a variety of materials .The high-quality construction of this product ensured its reliable performance, which is critical for industrial and scientific applications. My only minor issue was that the taps required some extra care during use to avoid breaking. Overall a great investment for anyone in need of a tap that can handle demanding tasks..
