Review: Pro quality - These cut beautifully. Bits don’t look like much but they perform as well or better than my fancy cobalt bits. These way outperform the dies from my big die kit,
Review: Sharp and Durable - I do gun-smithing and when tapping barrels or receivers, i can't afford to make mistakes. The drill bits are true, stay sharp and are well matched to the corresponding tap. The taps cut with surprising ease. Made quick, clean cuts and I will be able to reuse without worry of a hang up!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp and Durable

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Metric Taps and Associated Twist Drills
*by J***I on August 21, 2014*

This is a very nice set of common metric taps and associated drills. I had a large metric thread that I needed to match on a Jet shaper, and this filled the bill nicely. Both taps and drills are of sufficient quality to meet the DIYer's needs.
