I don't know what 'quality' is or isn't - other than the price at this point.Buy quality ones you need as you need them. You won't be sorry.

Each tap in the box comes with its corresponding/recommended drill bit ,that's what makes sets like these so convenient, once you've established what size screws is to be used , then you'll need to drill the correct size holes and correct size tap.@Ken - what are these sizes? Not familiar with these designations
- 6 - 40 Tap, #33 Drill; 8 - 36 Tap, #29 Drill;
- 10 - 24 Tap, #25 Drill; 10 - 32 Tap, #21 Drill;
Quality taps hold up much better, less likely to break. A broken tap can ruin a project, in that it can be difficult to remove the tap fragments without damaging the part.I don't know what 'quality' is or isn't - other than the price at this point.
For us hobbyist any high speed steel tap & die set that fits your budget will be( so called) "better quality" and is just fine, if you want to order taps individually, YG taps are readily available on Amazon and their price will be easy on your wallet:I don't know what 'quality' is or isn't - other than the price at this point.
I disagree. I know Travers and Grizzly are import, probably China. I have bought a couple Czech made dies and they are some of the best I have. But not cheap.Travers, MCS, Grizzly are in the industrial category.
Take a ride over to Western Tool and ask, they should be willing to assist.I don't know what 'quality' is or isn't - other than the price at this point.
Interesting...Online is not always cheapest or best.
