Good value DIY toolI needed to thread up a metric bolt to replace an old snapped Whitworth one it worked fine, perhaps not for the serious user but absolutely fine for the odd occasion most people will use it.

Good for the priceI wanted a Whitworth set for occasional use – cutting/repairing threads, rethreading metric nuts and bolts for non-critical repairs etc. This product does the job. I had an identical experience to another reviewer threading a 6mm aluminium rod with 1/4 WW die. Quite difficult to start cut (hence 4 stars), although the end result was fine. Clearly a budget item and this is reflected in the quality and performance, which are adequate for my purposes. This set is good value if you have a realistic expectation of an inexpensive piece of kit.BTW, here’s a useful article on thread cutting with taps […]

Quality materials and very well presented.Wonderful. Beyond my expectations.A quality tool at a great price. I needed to modify the fixings of my 1953 Garage doors and saved myself a lot of money by not having to buy new ones.

Four StarsBearing in mind the cost it lives up to expectation, ok for cleaning threads and threading soft material.

Toolzone Tap & Die SetThe set of taps and dies arrived within two days of the order, for which I have given a two star rating. However, the product was of a poor standard with the supposed plug taps being more like a number two in the standard 3-tap set. The dies were not “split”, (i.e. with a slot cut into the die to allow a few thou’ undersized or oversized threading). Similarly, the tap and die holders were of very poor quality and did not give the right amount of hold to the tool. Notwithstanding that the set cost less than £20, I would have expected a better quality.
