Review: Great set for working on old cars - This is a great tap and die set for anyone who works on old cars. I've had this set for 5 years and am constantly using it to clean up threads or cut new threads. Any slightly worn nut or bolt can be recut to like-new condition. This saves money and time trying to find replacement bolts/nuts. I have the Irwin metric set too. Would highly recommend. Just make sure to treat the pieces with care because taps and dies can be brittle. I've had no breaks or chips yet. Always use cutting fluid and wipe clean after use.
Review: Hanson Irwin = Quality - Hanson Irwin = Quality. I have been using Hanson (now Irwin Hanson) Tap and Die Sets and Screw Extractors for over 40 years. I wouldn't buy anything else. There is a reason Snap-On sells these under their Blue Point brand. Don't waste your money on any other brand, these are hardened, cut clean thread and last forever.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great set for working on old cars

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hanson Irwin = Quality
*by F***4 on March 6, 2025*

Hanson Irwin = Quality. I have been using Hanson (now Irwin Hanson) Tap and Die Sets and Screw Extractors for over 40 years. I wouldn't buy anything else. There is a reason Snap-On sells these under their Blue Point brand. Don't waste your money on any other brand, these are hardened, cut clean thread and last forever.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kit is a mix of Made in USA quality tools and other not marked tools.
*by J***F on September 12, 2023*

Irwin has always been a standard for excellent quality tools. I buy them for home as well as for work, and they hold up extremely well. Someone else purchased a less than quality knock-off brand tap and die set for work and it is terrible, so I decided to replace this with a quality Irwin tap and die set. To my dismay, when I opened the set, a large portion of the taps and dies are not to the usual Irwin quality I am accustomed to. Some of the taps and dies are the usual high quality and well machined tools that are marked 'USA', but the rest of the set is just marginally machined, no markings, and it just doesn't convey the confidence of quality that Irwin has earned through the years. I have yet to use the set but based on many years of experience as a mechanic, as an engineer, and running a prototype lab, I am concerned about the durability of these unmarked tools. Had the set contained all high quality pieces like Irwin has provided in the past, I would have definitely given it 5 stars. But I am only giving 4 stars (average) based on concern over the mix of unknown quality pieces. Another indicator is the little slotted screwdriver they provide in the set to tighten the set screw, it is very low quality. It looks like something out of a 5 piece set you would buy at the dollar store. I don't want to degrade Irwin because they have provided very high quality tools in the past, but I also want buyers to be aware that they will receive a mix of known quality and unknown quality tools with this set.
