Work well and are well-made
I have only used this set once so far, but that's all I really hoped to get out of it. I have an aluminum AeroPrecision lower that came to me with a stripped or poorly threaded takedown pin mounting hole, which takes a 4-40 setscrew.I used the bottoming tap in this set and a little oil to successfully re-tap the mounting hole. These taps are tiny and any tap handle you already have will likely be too big. You need what is called a pin vise, basically a handle with a small collet on the end, to hold these small taps.These taps saved me a whole lot of hassle, dealing with returning a serialized item for warranty work. They cut quickly and smoothly, at least in aluminum. Worth every penny, even if I never use them again. Besides, what real man has ever said "I wish I had less tools?"

Sharp and accurate
It works well. I needed to cut some threads for some tubing couplers used in a titrator. These worked well.

Great Price, Nicely Packaged, Work Well
The tap set (I ordered #8-32 3-piece set) arrived promptly. It was nicely packaged and appeared to be of good quality. The cutting surfaces were sharp, and the taps nicely finished. I used them to tap several blind holes in brass, and they worked just fine. Other reviewers have complained that they are flimsy and not durable, but I certainly didn't observe that. They seem just like any other tap I have used in the past. I'd definitely recommend them.

Misleading advert
This set of taps is NOT what is shown in the photo to be a set of three taps taper-mid-bottom taps but what arrives is a single tap. Don’t be fooled by the photo and lack of item description like I was, buy elsewhere!

Does the trick
Broke several brand-name taps when tapping into railroad spikes for a small DIY project, but those held on. Positively surprised.
