Segomo Tools 60 Piece Metric & SAE Threading Tap & Die Tool Set - TD60MMSAE

I was looking for a cobo set (SAE & Metric) but you can't get all of the metric thread pitches in any of the sets. So I opted to go with 2 sets - 1 Metric and this one SAE. It has everything you need, it's complete. It is well made. I see not reason this won't last me forever. I basically wanted to up grade my old stuff (over 20 years old) just to make sure everything is fresh. This set comes in at a fair price point. 5-Stars so far.

The taps and dies are an ok hobby set. I have a good Starrett T-handle Tap Holder that I'll use with the taps. I have a good Die Holder for my mini-lathe to use the dies. So, I'll be using the taps and dies with my better-made tap and die holders.Now, for the case. As others have documented, the small taps in the middle easily fall out of their recesses when the case is closed and turned upside down. The other taps and dies rattle around ... lot of slop in the fit of the lid-to-case bottom. Not good. I got some foam sheet from a craft store ... 18" x 12". Got it in 2mm thickness and another sheet in 5mm thickness. I cut the sheet of 2mm thickness with an X-Acto knife and scissors to fit the contour of the overall case inside profile then used double sided tape to adhere it to the inside surface of the case top. This enabled the case to snugly close and secured the larger taps and dies. However, the smaller SAE and Metric taps in the middle area still came out of their recesses upon lid closing and turning the case upside down. This is because there is some concavity downwards in the middle of the bottom of the case where the tap recesses are and also because the smaller taps are, well, small. So, I cut a 6" x 2" rectangle of the 5mm thick foam sheet and put it roughly in the center of the 2mm foam previously mounted. Again used double sided tape to mount it, this time to the 2mm sheet already mounted on the case top. This added foam thickness across the upper half of the small-sized taps was enough to keep them in place upon lid closing and turning the case upside down, sideways, etc. So the loose taps and dies problem appears to be solved with application of the 2mm and 5mm foam sheets custom cut as shown in the photo. The case still closes evenly and the two front locking flaps easily snap tightly with the foam inserts as shown in the photo.

Case is extremely poor quality, opened it when it arrived, and there was a huge mess! Took an hour to put everything back in its place...🤬

Everything I needed to rethread a stripped bolt hole in an engine block. Fast order processing and excellent value for the $$

As mentioned in other reviews, the tap holders are garbage. I’d go as far as totally useless. On the positive side the taps seem to work well. I’ve used them on aluminum, 12L14 steel, and cast iron. I haven’t tried the dies yet, so I can’t comment on them.

I have no complaints about this set

I purchased both, metric and standard sets for re threading purposes at work. Cleaning out rusted bolt holes, things of that nature. They work great for that! Have only used them a couple of times with drilling and tapping new threads but it held up with no chips in the taps with soft steel anyway. It also comes with every size imaginable fine thread as well so thats nice. The thing I don't like about them is there are some cases where I can't use the T handle and have to use my tap sockets to adapt to an extention and a ratchet. These bits square ends are cut differently and don't fit them. I also don't like the handles. They are very light and seem like they could break easily. The taps and dies themselves tho seem to be holding up surprisingly well for the price tho. Not one chip out of one yet so I would not recommend for a machine shop by any means but for my purposes they are working great!

Producto con bastante calidad y completo para el precio que tiene, lo use para limpiar y hacer alguna rosca de un chevy v8Ningún problema
