Questions & Answers
I'm going to reiterate Jack's point: I need to tap for a standard M8 1.25 (which is the thread Home Depot sells bolts for in the store), and this set taps M7, and not M8? Seriously?
The DWA1450 will include : Includes 1 of each of the following: 3 mm - 0.50 tap, 4 mm - 0.70 tap, 5 mm - 0.80 tap, 6 mm - 1.00 tap, 7 mm - 1.00 tap, 3 mm - 0.50 die, 4 mm - 0.70 die, 5 mm - 0.80 die, 6 mm - 1.00 die, 7 mm - 1.00 die, 2.5 mm drill bit, 3.3 mm drill bit, 4.2 mm drill bit, #9 drill bit, 15/64 in. drill bit. We are sorry to hear that you are not happy with the sizes. We appreciate your feedback.
Who the heck in the world besides China uses M7? I have never run into this except in these cheap sets.
Tap and die sets serve many industrial and manufacturing purposes.
Does this work with PVC?
It will work on any material as long as the threads per inch and diameter are correct. The only concern if you use the wrong tap or die and the material is so soft it will immediately change it to the new or wrong size. Need to ensure that you have picked the correct match. I used to clean the threads out to ensure the threaded screw started easily.
does this thread /thick metal
probably not more than a few times as you will likely chew up the bit.
It would thread thicker metal, maybe 3/4" but you would have to go slow since the tap and dies are small.
Yes, depending on the length of the tap.
Yes, you can use this to thread thick metal.
So far I’ve successfully used the 3M and 5M on 1/8” aluminum. I used wax on the taps.
The tap handle is for 1/4" what is used for the lesser sizes included in the set
The tap handle will accomodate all of the taps in the set; just tighten the collar more.
Tap handle has an adjustable collet. Worked down to 2.7mm. SOme people had trouble since there are filings from manufacturing that prevent it from closing down to the smallest tap. Take it apart and clean it out first. There are also two engagement shoulders. For the smaller taps you need to insert the tap deeper for engagement.
This is a metric set.
yes, It is
is this American made?
no, it's China made.
made in china
Cheap chinese junk
On the back side, lower left corner, it says "Made in China".
Does anyone have a good way to store this set? The plastic case it comes in seems like it was intended for storage, but it's pretty cheaply made, and the bits fall out if not opened just right.
my one criticism with the set is there is no storage case or means for storing the set. The plastic it comes in will not accommodate reasonable storage provision. For a few cents Dewalt could have provided means of storage.
DeWalt actually sells a small case like this one: http://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-Bi-Metal-Reciprocating-Saw-Blade-Set-15-Piece-with-Tough-Case-DW4890/100064338 They sell one with the blades, and one without. I bought the one without, made a small notch for the tap handle, and put all the metrics on one side and the fractionals on the other. Works pretty good. If the tap and die set wasn't such a piece of junk. See my review on it. But this is a good case for storing the small set.
I used the item: Model # 83056N15 Internet #206923635 a Husky 11 in. 17-Compartment Parts Bin Organizer I had to cut one of the long divider to fit T handle into The package is only a blister pack to show off items and hang on hook at store Saved paper work and placed it inside of organizer, so you can look at top, it has the list of what inside
Not in the packaging. You'll have to set up a container for it or a spot in your tool drawer. A small Tupperware would work.
No it is not in a good storage box.
