What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this tap and die set for exceptional real-world performance, with many reporting it cuts cleanly in aluminum, stays sharp after multiple uses, and includes uncommon sizes like 10-24 and 8-32. Reviewers consistently describe the tools as high-quality and excellent value, citing successful repairs on motorcycles, door handles, and Jeep hinges. However, many criticize the case design as substandard and prone to spilling, while the tap holder is frequently called flimsy and unable to grip smaller taps under one-quarter inch. Despite packaging concerns, most customers consider the cutting tools themselves a worthwhile investment for field repairs and light metalwork.

Compact and well made.
Would Not RecommendThis is a well thought out kit, with the most common taps and dies. I used it to chase a damaged thread on my motorcycle front brake master cylinder. It worked without issue. The tap is nice and sharp and cleaned up the thread easily.

Irwin Quality
Would RecommendIrwin Tools are dependable. This item was on clearance, maybe Lowes is going to change brands of Tap and Dies
Verified Purchaser
Great tool set.
Would RecommendDidn't know these existed until I was wandering through Lowe's and seen the metric set (which I purchased). These are perfect for the smaller nuts and bolt; much easier to use on the smaller size than a regular die would be. Makes it more convenient if you have to use them in places the larger die wouldn't give you the clearance. Very happy these exist.

Only Irwin brand available in store
Would RecommendWas hard to find in store and less expensive option was only available online.
Great Item
Would RecommendWorks really well. Used it on some screws in my fuse box door. Worked wonderfully
Pointless kit
Would Not RecommendI bought because my other tap handle wouldn’t go dow to 6-32. Assumed a kit with a 6-32 tap would have a handle that can fit it. It does not waste of a trip and money. Never trusting Irwin again
Be prepared to buy extra Chuck or pluers
Would RecommendThe Chuck won’t hold anything smaller than a 1/4”. Most of the taps are less than 1/4”
