Which tap??

[asbo]

I will need to tap holes from m5 to m12 on my build in Ali and Steel... I was thinking of buying my first set of taps... What do people think of these ??

Draper 40891 28 Piece Metric Tap And Hss Drill Set Part No: TDS-28 - Draper available at Toolbox

I have that exact same set, I've found them to be very good.

A set like that would might be OK to start you off, but you're going to need to replace the ones you use/break most often.

I bought a comprehensive boxed set from M3 to M14 & replace when needed from MSC Industrial Supply Co..
