Muzerdo 131PCS Sae and Metric Coated Bearing Steel Tap and Die Rethreading Kit

Nice set missing the two gauges

Materials are of ok quality. The coating just rubs off after a few taps. Nothingspecial, just looks nice. The dies are not very well made. It looks like they used their own tap and left material hanging on the inside and didn't clean anything up. Just tapped the dies and straight in the box. Good price for how many parts there are. Not sure if I'd buy this again, I might just cad a lining, print it so it actually holds parts down and replace any broken with a better quality one as I go. 136 pics for about 160 wasn't too bad. Each piece can coast from 1$-10$ for better quality if not more. Some even go for 17$+ so all in all relatively happy. Relatively. If you are a hobbies and probably won't be tapping more than acrylic BUY IT!!!!! For steel and harder material tapping let's just day the i didn't get as many taps out of them as other brands I've tried. Not bad though. Not great either. If you like it for the case. It is maybe worth like 10-20$ the lining is kindnof brittle and to get to the other taps you have to lift the top layer to get to the bottom. And they have to be stacked the same direction or everything spills. Nothing is held on. Poor design on their part. Pretty good space saving design, and likely cost of production but the plastic is so brittle and breaks easily if you're not gentle. New brands could use gear wrench as a benchmark for new tool making/design. (Not the best brand but still not a bad place to start)

Right up front I was given this tap & die set free of charge in exchange for an honest review. I already own a tap & die set (about 75 pieces) so I can compare the two and give you an honest assessment of this set.The first thing I notice right away is the beautiful hard metal case that this entire set comes in. My other set came in a blown plastic case that is not all that hard or sturdy. On the plastic case if you push down hard enough with your thumb it will dent inward, possibly permanently. The fact that this comes in a hard metal case is such a huge plus especially because you get SO MANY individual items in the set it’s heavy! Once you release the clasps and open the lid you find that all the individual tap and die pieces are resting in an extremely thin plastic holding “case” with a clear plastic cover over the top. If I have one complaint about this whole set this would be it. I know it would cost more money to accomplish this but it would be wonderful if all the pieces would be held in place with some sort of hard foam rather than the very thin plastic that it currently comes in. The weight of all the tools and pieces makes it very difficult to pull the two layers out of the metal case or at least remove the top layer to get to the tools in the bottom layer. There is nowhere to put your fingers in order to pull up and remove the top layer to get to the tools in the bottom layer and this is quite frustrating. Other than this issue this whole set is awesome.A tap & die set is not something you will be using on the regular. I guarantee, however, that when you need one you will regret not having one. I recently ordered a sou vide cooker and the little clamp that attaches the cooker to the container had completely stripped female threads and the die set saved the day. I drilled some holes in a piece of aluminum with my drill press and I was able to use the tap set was able to make the holes threaded to receive a few machine screws. Truly a useful thing to have. The nice thing about this set is that you get so many pieces here that you will most likely never need another set or be in need of a tool or size that does not come in this set. All pieces are expertly machined and although I haven’t used every piece in here, I have found no quality issues with the ones I have used.Do I recommend this set to you? I’d say if you’ve used a tap & die set before and know how darn handy they come in when you need them and want a very nice quality set with near infinite standard and metric sizes then I wholeheartedly recommend this to you. If you’ve never used a tap & die set but were thinking about getting one, you may want to buy a smaller set (much like my smaller 75 piece set I currently own but will be giving away) for less money. If you’re the type of person who would rather own a very nice set and never have to buy another one then I would indeed recommend this to you.If you found this review helpful, consider letting me know with the button below. Thank you.

If it wasn't for the casing to tool is stored in it would be a good quality tool .Durability wise the casing it is stored in is very thin plastic too hold such heavy tools causing all the pieces to fall out of place and making it to easy to lose pieces. It is a shame because I really like the parts.

I returned this set immediately upon opening. I will mention that I never used this to test quality or functionality of the tools themselves.The metal case was okay but the latch system felt cheap and like it would fail quickly. Once that happens it would leave a mess on my garage floor as the trays inside are similar to the plastic that your oversized chocolate bunnies come in during Easter. They don't hold the tools in place and they were scattered when opening. When trying to put them back where they fit I noticed the sizing stamps on the tools themself were hard to read, crooked at times and barely visible other times. Some were simply not marked at all. The sizing labels on the trays were all over the place (some above, some below, some overlapping another tools space).The sizing seems to be sorted by physical size making a cluster of SAE, Metric, coarse, fine, and whatever else they felt made sense all in one area and just painful to find what you are looking for.The trays wanted to collapse when moving them out of the case and being that they are stacked you have to remove at least one to get what you need at times.
