Worked with out a problem(10/02/2010)
It worked well very multiple tap jobs in steel and aluminum. Still looks like new and is sharp.
Does the job(14/11/2013)
Busted a different tap and ordered these to finish the job. Used with Viper's Venom cutting oil and threaded easily. Remember to go slow, use lots of oil and absolutely no more than 1/4 turn before reversing the tap and even less than that would be better.
Wrong Item(06/10/2013)
I ordered one of these and got something different. The tap was 48TPI, but the diameter was not #6, it was 0.110" dia, which is between #3 (.099") and #4 (.112"), probably a #4-48 tap. It was marked #6-48, just not made to #6 diameter (.138"). The person I talked to promised to check the diameter of the free replacement he was sending, so I hope they send the correct one. Obviously a factory error.
Bad Experience Here(04/03/2011)
I bought this tap to thread the hole for the elevation screw on a Bomar style rear sight. I purchased two taps and the corresponding #31 drill bit. I measured the drill bit to ensure they were proper size. Since this was my first time using these taps I did a practice hole on a cracked slide that I had laying around. I used a tap guide on my milling machine to attempt to tap the hole. I broke the first tap using light hand pressure to turn the tap handle. I drilled another practice hole and managed to break the other tap I purchased. These taps are horrible. They are carbon steel and made by Hanson. I've tapped a lot of holes doing gunsmith work without breaking any taps until I used these. I will not use these again and recommend anyone else that needs a tap to get a good quality HSS tap.
