So normally I use my main T&D set, then add on the oddball tap / die I need, but recently I have been doing more metric work and my metric set is an el cheapo vato zone set that is ALMOST useless as the tolerances SUCK!
I can run a new bolt thru the die and end up with garbage threads that won't fit anything. Taps are the same... run them thru a good but rusty hole and a new bolt still binds....
Sooo... Who is selling a QUALITY T&D set with doesn't charge truck prices or is all chinesium and will cause more headaches than it is worth?
Price matters, quality matters... I want to find the right place in the middle...
my story: I used to be a pro mechanic, swapped over to IT about 25 years ago and still have a shit ton of snappy/matco/mac but no longer feel the need to pay their prices.
