SAE tap & die set

[Richard Cranium]

Where can I get a decent AMERICAN made set from 1/8" up to 1/2". Not interested in a combination of SAE & metric.

Thanks!

MSC... Don't buy Irwin/Hanson crap

Cle-Line is Cleveland Twist Drill Co. Made in USA. https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/43489608

Greenfield is top notch stuff but $$$$

 

[Richard Cranium]

$771.86 ea?

Yeah but you get a galvanized steel carrying case instead of a plastic one.

You're lucky. You don't have to buy it...it's on backorder.

You asked for quality.... You can buy Irwin all day for $150 or less.. Greenfield starts around $4000... Quality costs, trust me, I've spent allot on drills, taps & dies & end mills... First time you use a quality tap you won't want to use a cheap one again...

Here, made in Taiwan... https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/01320126?fromRR=Y

I've never used them but most Gear Wrench stuff I have used is pretty decent...

I believe you, but I would be using it mostly to clean up threads.

Check out stillmadeintheusa.com. Several companies, some sell on Amazon.

It really sucks that I as an American can't afford American made products that i would love to purchase.

These are made in the USA, or at least say they are.

I have a different Lang set and for just rethreading/chasing they are great.

Don’t you want a thread cleanup kit?

Yup, cleaning threads = thread chaser not taps & dies..

Was just thinking the same thing. I bought this set a few years back. They work pretty well for the price.
