Like it says, any recommendations for the best places to buy a general set of metric taps and dies. I prefer quality over price. My Sears SAE set has never failed me, but Sears and the Craftsman brand are now questionable. Any recommendations?

Irwin / Hanson
They were USA made ... possibly still are. I have an Irwin SAE set that I have had for years. I wouldn't pass on Craftsman. I have a shitty metric set from Harbor Freight that got me out of a bind one weekend but I wouldn't recommend them... pretty primitive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) |

Off the top of my head I don't have a good set recommendation (as of late I've just bought individuals), but just in general a set with 2 flutes taps is preferable to one with 4 flute taps.

Snap-On RTD-48 is great rethreading tool kit.
• Repair or renew damaged threads using a socket or wrench (not for hardened threads or cutting thew threads) There is a distinct difference between using a "thread chaser" and a "tap". Thread Chasing  |

I love my gearwrench tap and die set. It seems to be of great quality.
