Amazon Brand - Denali 75-Piece Tap and Die Set

Well good. Had to drill and tap new holes in cast iron log burner door to hold glass. Perfect.

Good

Excellent bit of kit

Only arrived and will be put to use tomorrow. Quality looks every bit as good as you'd expect from a visual overview of taps and die sets. The attraction to this set for me was the selection of different tap and die thread pitches. Doing my own car maintenance the 1.25 pitch will be invaluable along with the 1.50 pitch on larger taps.This was the deal breaker and being on amazon prime day made the purchase even more attractive.

Good quality

At £60 there is a lot packed into this kit. It includes both metric and imperial dies which are good for re doing cross threaded screws and bolts, although I always try and keep to metric where I can so the imperial will get a lot less use.It includes a wide range of common sizes and so far the metal seems pretty robust so should last a long time with regular use, although may struggle to maintain daily heavy use.I like that it includes a clear instruction manual for getting to know all the many parts as it can be a little intimidating getting to know how to use every part for the first time.Overall this is fantastic value for money and the large case is easy to keep everything organised.

I have a cheap, smaller set of taps and dies, but it often doesn’t have the size I need.As a handyman I mainly use them to repair damaged threads, often caused by cross-threading, but occasionally use them for “start to finish” projects.I believe this set will fulfil everything I need. I am sure a jobbing engineer would be pleased with them.There are full instructions – I was taught how to use them in metalwork classes but lots of people might come across them for the first time.It comes complete with handles and a thread gauge. The case is well designed and easy to use – you would think this is always the case, but it isn’t.
