To be honest it looks like something you can buy on port charters for $8. But looks belie the cut quality of these taps and dies is head and shoulders above T&D port freight kits. I actually asked for this set to be returned once it was delivered and I saw the taps and dies. Although luckily I had to use it before they matched Oops. I canceled the return immediately after use. They cut great, both taps and dies. Set, separate matrices are better. I bought a SAE/Fractional set for a similar price, very good quality too. And they are split matrices.
