6-Piece 12-24NC Combination Drill Tap Countersink Bit Set SAE, Made of High-Speed Steel with Anti-Rust Blackened Coating, Ideal for Soft Metal, Wood & Plastic, 12-24NC Thread Size, 1/4" Hex Shank

**** The tapping bit set has garnered a mix of responses from customers, indicating that while it has its shortcomings, it offers good value for its price point. Users have noted that the set comes complete and delivers satisfactory performance when handling softer materials like brass and aluminum. The sharpness of the bits is generally satisfactory, although some users have expressed concerns about the overall finish, particularly with the black paint which seems less durable. Trouble arises, however, with more challenging materials like steel. A significant number of users reported issues with the bits breaking during initial use, particularly when tapping into thicker steel. This inConsistency has understandably disappointed some buyers, especially given the high expectations for durability with metalworking tools. Despite these setbacks, customers have found that the bits can last through multiple uses on lighter materials, showcasing their utility when employed correctly with appropriate lubrication and care. Though the set could benefit from additional sizes, particularly in the NC category, users still believe it to be a useful addition to their toolboxes for specific projects. Despite the limitations, the overall reception aligns with a sentiment of good quality for the price, making it an appealing option for both experienced mechanics and hobbyists alike. **
