Be careful with new Ebay taps and dies check to see if they are high speed steel most are just carbon steel crap.

Point taken, byer beware, but I did check out the feedback and there were repeat byers for taps and no tap or dies mentioned in the negative.

These people also have a website selling heaps of tools. We bought some lefthand taps for a carrier rebuild through their website but I don't think we've used them yet so I can't comment on quality. They seemed to communicate fine with queries I had. The prices seem cheap but postage is hefty in my experience. I want to buy a morse adapter that doesn't have the tang on the end but the postage killed the idea. Anyway check their website before bidding on eBay - might be cheaper!

I have no ties with the vendor.
