Being as they were so tiny, I actually expected it to break. But, I have tapped hole in 1/4" aluminum and 1/8" steel with no issues. I highly recommend using plenty of cutting oil.

These seem to be good quality, have tapped over 100 holes so far with one tap.

I was having some trouble threading a few holes. After I confirmed the proper diameter for M3 threads, I determined it must be a faulty tap. So, I ordered these. I'm so very pleased.It's great that they're sold in pairs. I like knowing that I have a spare waiting int he wings. In the meantime, I've threaded a few dozen holes in various materials: brass, aluminum, and even some mild steel. I was able to thread a full 22mm depth with this baby, and I did that over a dozen times.The spiral cut not only helps get the swarf out of the hole, it also facilitates getting thread cutting lubricant in.For the price, I don't think you can do better than these. Get some thread cutting lubricant, for sure. And a good tap handle.

I get what I think is a fair amount of holes out of these before they're worn. I use them to tap 3D printed 316L stainless steel. Quality is good but I've had a couple snap on me pretty quick. I've tapped thousands of holes with multiple sets of these by now so overall good quality.

These spiral flutes when used with a drill guide and good cutting fluid produce perfect hand tapped M3 holes every time even after +100 taps with the same tap. They self center and go in and cut cleanly with almost no effort. I just wish I found these sooner rather than have to discover these after many failed attempts from other product vendors.

Ordered a set that literally shattered getting tightened into the ER20 tap holder. Got a second set and the first tap has done almost 25 holes in stainless 304.

I bought these to tap extruded aluminum ends. I was using a hand drill at very low revolution speeds, I mean creeping. I had a very thin stream of compressed air in the hole/tap to keep chips from building up. WD40 in a small squeeze dropper with a blunt needle tip was used for lubrication. I found it only takes about 5 drops to be good enough and maybe adding a few while tapping if it feels like it’s binding up. I was taping up to the shoulder of the tap which is about an inch and an eighth deep. I didn’t have any big issues however I did have one break off in the hole after about 80 holes. I don’t think it was the taps fault, it was most likely the hand drill wobbling while holding it. I managed to tap 104 M5 holes and 136 M6 holes in extruded aluminum using the uxcell spiral taps. These threads don’t seems to be the tightest fit to any of the bolts I have, but cinch up solid without stripping the new threading. I will be buying another pack of uxcell M5 to replace the broken one since this brand seems quite durable.

Needed to thread M4 6mm deep through hole in stainless 304. Tried both standard and forming thread taps with a starting hole of 3.5mm and broke both.This time made the starting hole 3.7mm diameter and used these uxcell taps which cut through it like butter. Very happy with results.
