  • Appear to be well-made, and a good value
Size: 77 PC Style: SAE/Metric
As I’ve stated in some of my other reviews, I don’t really like to write or read reviews of products that haven’t been used yet. However, in this case, these are not a tool that I would ever use frequently, and had no immediate use for when I bought this set. This was purchased more as an “in case I need it” item. I have needed something in the past for occasionally chasing threads, and maybe occasionally actually threading something. I’ve seen some of the really cheap stuff. I didn’t want to waste my money on total junk. Some research on Amazon, and I came across this set. It got good reviews. I’ve used some other tools made by Gearwrench, and found the quality to be good. I would put their stuff on par with Craftsman brand tools. Upon initial inspection, the steel looks good. Again, I have not actually used these yet. I would hesitate to use these in any kind of commercial setting, but I’m thinking they will be plenty good for occasional home use. If and when I use these, and there are any negatives, I will update my review accordingly. Overall, these appear to be in the very good value range. ... show more

  • A great set with a lot to offer for this home-user.
Size: 114 PC Style: Set
I had read the reviews here before purchasing and especially took note of the people that reported some gouges in some of the machined taps with this set. I ordered anyway for a couple of reasons. First, this is no small company. It is part of Apex Tools that owns Lufkin Tapes, Crescent Tools, Wiss cutting tools, Nicholson Files and more etc that go back over 100 years. I have all of those tool Brands at home and they have served me exceptionally well for 30-40 years. So, I figured I'd give this set a go and if it was totally unacceptable, I could always return it (thanks to Amazon's service). Bottom-line, its not going back... I'm a home/hobbyist user of Tap and Dies, but I can understand why a Professional who uses these tools in a daily business setting can feel differently about what they need. But for my use at home, this is a great set, and for what you get, a very good price. I could not touch an equally configured Irwin/Hansen set for this price point. I have also used this set and it does a very acceptable job for my needs. Regarding the reports of the small gouges in some of the larger Taps, yes I have those too. But it is only on a couple of the Taps, the gouges are small, and the gouges are not on the cutting edges of the Taps. The cutting edges are clean, in tact and sharp. The very few gouges are on the threaded following surfaces, so that problem (for me) will not affect the tool's ability to cut proper threads. I did find that I needed to clean out a few loosely attached burrs from a couple of the Taps when they were machined. A small brass brush or even the "thread gauges" that come with this set easily dispatched those burrs. I have already used some of the Taps and they cut very well. The accessories that come with this set are quite remarkable and they work well too. I especially like the Tap Adapters that come with this set and they way they lock into the T-wrenches. My only complaint about the T-wrenches is that I can't lock the ratchet into place. You either go forward or backward via the selector flip/switch. If you have done much tapping of harder metals, you know that going forward and back quite often is needed to dislodge the burrs that you cut. I can accomplish it with the flip-lever, it would just be easier (at times) if the T-wrench didn't ratchet. But for cutting soft metal, I love that ratchet and the ability to move the handle without changing my grip is very appreciated. Overall, I think this set is a winner. I understand that it is not an Irwin/Hansen or even higher quality set. But for my use, that is OK and I expect to get many years of use from this set. I already have a much smaller, very cheap quality Tap and Die set that I've owned for 30+ years. Take care of your tools, use some finesse vs brute force, use cutting fluid, etc. and you can get many years even from a lesser quality Tap and Die set. :^) One update (4/23/16): I also purchased the Gator Tools V-Tap Guides that help keep the tap vertical (especially when starting the threads). The Gator Tools Tap Guide is a well made/machined part that earns a full 5-stars all by itself. Unfortunately, for this particular Tap set from GearWrench, on their smaller Taps (the Metric M5 and smaller) and (the Standard #10 and smaller), these Taps will not pass through the Big Gator Tools Tap Guide. That is because GearWrench makes the barrel (above the cutting portion of the Tap) slightly larger. Because of that design on their smaller Taps, it prevents the Tap from passing through the Big Gator Tape Guide. I've looked at these sizes in the Irwin Taps and it appears that Irwin maintains the barrel diameter so that it is not larger than the cutting portion diameter of the Tap. If something like this is important to you, then it may be worth considering Irwin vs GearWrench. I'm still happy with my GearWrench set and have some older Taps that will pass through the Big Gator tool just fine. Just thought I'd mention it as a difference for those considering this GearWrench set. ... show more

  • Very good value and very well finished
Size: 114 PC Style: Set
The tap and die set offer is very large on the net, and it is difficult to sort it out and judge quality remotely. I watched a video from ProjectFarm that tested several tap and die kits. It was very helpful for me to make my selection.

  • First one I ever bought, seems decent enough
Size: 77 PC Style: SAE/Metric
Im not looking to use it everyday, or even every month but a few times a year to fix a few things around the shop. I used it to rethread a mildly stripped metric bolt so far and it worked perfectly. If i was a mechanic id buy something better but so far seem decent

  • Nice Tap and Die set
Size: 114 PC Style: Set
I was impressed with the toughness of these taps and dies. I had to tap out a very hard metal plug and the tap had no problem cutting threads and didn't break any teeth while doing so. The ratchet handles are real handy also. With lots of adapters to use in many ways.

  • Yes, finally a quality set in my shop
Size: 77 PC Style: SAE/Metric
The next day put it to use. Winter maintenance on tractor, used to set to clean many corroded fasteners. The tap and die bit holders are pretty well thought out and just work. Am very pleased with the quality of the taps and ease of cleaning out and chasing threads. It's best to have a more comprehensive set, then try to save a few dollars with a lesser unit. Because when the occasion arises, it's great to have the sizes available. ... show more

  • 2 years later and still holding up!
Size: 114 PC Style: Set
I'm a heavy equipment mechanic and was looking for a comprehensive set of tap&dies that wasn't going to break the bank but wasn't going to break apart on me either. This set really caught my eye and read all the reviews. Some of the reviews scared me a bit but there was enough positive that a took the plunge. Oh and I caught this set on sale (deal of the day) for only $140!!! Even at the $215 price this set looks to be a steal!! The taps and dies are even laser etched so the sizes won't just wear off when you clean them with brake clean or whatever. Some reviews were commenting on the taps having burrs or threads having gouges in them. I've seen nothing of the sort on my set besides a little metal left over on just a few taps from the machining process. Nothing that a brass brush or a die from this set can't take care of. Also heard the ratchet tools fell apart on a few people. They seem pretty well made to me but I'll probably use my own ratchet and tap sockets most the time anyways. This should be the last tap&die I ever buy since my work will replace as they eventually break. I'll put this set through it's paces soon and update the review on my findings. In the meantime I would definitely recommend this set to any professional or home mechanic looking for a great set without paying way too much. Edit: 3/26/21 So it's been over 2 years and I haven't broke any taps yet! I've also used the ratchet wrenches a dozen or so times and they've held up fine (did not fall apart like others) I can't believe all the people that has given 1 star reviews because this set has been outstanding for me. Maybe it's just bad quality control or something but I must've really lucked with mine ... show more
