Drill America - DWT57192 7/16"-14 High Speed Steel 3 Flute Spiral Point Tap, DWT Series

I got this tiny tap for a rail for a wireless hole puncher. It worked great. Tapped the threads cleanly and ejected the chips as desired. It didn’t break and seems more durable than any other tap this small. Overall great product.

Had some damage to the mower shaft threads on a Briggs and Stratton. First thread was damaged, so wasnt sure it was doing to go it, but once I pushed a bit, it went throught and it was all cleaned up!

This Drill America 1/4"-28 HSS tap/drill exceeded expectations. The cutting edges were sharp out of the box and produced clean, consistent threads without chatter or binding. The steel feels high quality, held its edge well, and showed no signs of wear after use. Easy to work with and very durable compared to cheaper alternatives. Overall, this feels like a professional-grade tool at a fair price. Would confidently buy again.

I needed to cut 3/8-24 threads and this tap did the job well. It cut cleanly and felt sharp enough that I wasn't fighting it the whole way through. As always with taps, a little cutting fluid and patience goes a long way. For the price I was happy with it and would buy another size if I needed one. 4 stars.

I bought this to change the threads for a picatinny rail on a shotgun. It worked on the three holes I did.

I heard about hand-tapping with the taper-tip taps on Youtube. I was skeptical, but as the author didn't seem to be promoting any particular product, just the style, I decided to give one a try. I bought one in 1/4"-20 tpi, as that's what I use most often. I figures it was worth less than $10 for the experiment. I've been hand-tapping holes in steel, stainless steel, aluminum and brass for many years, and this thing blew my mind! My first thought was that I'd drilled the hole with a bit that was too large, as the tap went through over an inch of pure aluminum with almost no effort--I never had to back it out to "break the chip" at all. I checked and the bit was the right one! Now I need an entire set.

The last tap I used lasted over a year and I used it hundreds of times. I bought 2 of these taps. The first one broke on the second tap. The other one broke today on the first use. They are total crap. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Works until it does not 🤣

Goes through aluminum and brass quickly and straight.

The tap does its job, which is cutting threads. I've only tapped 2 holes with it and seems to have held up fine, no visible wear. Good enough for the price. Have definitely used better quality taps.

Not at all satisfied. The 1st time I used this tap it snapped off after cutting 4 threads. The return/exchange window closed on July16, so I use the tap on July 19 and it breaks. I am now out of pocket for a defective and broken tool. I would appreciate receiving a refund or replacement.

This was one of the best taps I've ever used. I own a small business and needed some taps to manufacture some parts. I decided to get some new taps because the mastercraft I had were not threading very nicely. The three flutes and high quality build made it a breeze to tap around 80 holes. Well worth the price and I will definitely get more drill america taps in the future.
