Review on πŸ”§ Comprehensive 60-Piece Master Tap and Die Set by Chris Moody

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Here is a real review of

Don't listen to other reviews complaining about this set. If you're a weekend warrior who likes to hit a few holes every once in a while, this set is for you at a very reasonable price. Here are some tricks to solve some of the problems mentioned in other reviews: - Leave a piece of foam in the box it comes in and nothing will move when you wear it. - Drip blue or red Loctite on the faucet handle threads to prevent them from loosening during operation. This turns the exciting tapping into a smoother process. The quality of tapping depends on your technique. To ensure that you always get a good thread, proceed as follows: Use the correct tap size! Find the printed chart on google images and stick it on the wall above the tool box. Use a tapping oil like Tap Magic. A small container goes a long way and changes the world. Apply a few drops to each hole you are tapping. Apply a few drops to the entire surface when threading steel. Before threading, check the alignment of the tap front and back, left and right. Turn the faucet 1/2 turn or less and then back off. slightly outward to break the chip. When drilling a deeper hole or cutting steel, you need to periodically remove the tap for cleaning and relubrication. - Blow out threaded holes before use; Remaining chips and particles can cause abrasion during use. - Proceed in the same way with the dies, but pay attention to the original workpiece outer diameter! Periodic disassembly is not required as you can clean it from the outside with compressed air. Definitely use oil! Do all of these and you will be happy with this set. Hope that helps.
