Best TAP & DIE Set Shootout: Craftsman vs Irwin, Bosch, Draper, Vermont American, Tekton, GearWrench


Best TAP & DIE Set Shootout: Craftsman vs Irwin, Bosch, Draper, Vermont American, Tekton, GearWrench

Project Farm is at it again, with a tool shootout that you are going to want to pay attention to. Unfortunately Tap and Die sets are available in a variety of price ranges, so you never know just how much you need to spend in order to get a tool worth owning. And that price also depends on just how often you are going to use a Tap and Die set. I own a pretty good sized Tap and Die set and a Thread Chaser kit and feel like it does what I need but didn’t cost a fortune. I’m using them to tap aluminum sometimes, but usually regular mild steel. Lets see what Project Farm says we should know about all these brands.

Video Description:

Tap & Die sets tested: Craftsman, GearWrench, Draper, Bosch, Tekton, Century, Irwin, Vermont American & Pittsburgh (Harbor Freight). Tap & Die sets tested for sharpness to cut threads in aluminum, medium-hardness steel, and spring steel. After creating threads, each of the threads are compared for fit and quality. My goal is to always provide accurate and honest test results by avoiding outside pressure from manufacturers. To do this, I always buy all of the products that I test along with the test equipment and supplies used for the testing. So, thank you very much for helping me achieve this goal by your support of the channel.

    if your endmills, drill, taps and dies are not of cobalt, give it up as you don’t know what you’re doing and you are dangerous
