I’m a machinist by trade. I’ve tapped thousands of holes so I know what I’m doing. I broke all 3 of these taps in a row in aluminum. Scrapped all 3 parts. Could be bad luck, could be subpar taps, could be I should have stuck with 2 flute taps that I normally use.

I received the product and after breaking several have been putting it to good use.

Worked well for taping a hole through a 1/4 steel rod. If it is set up correctly it will work well. The hole has to be the correct size and the tap has to be started perfectly straight otherwise it may break. It is a small tap size so I used a small drill chuck to hold the tap and was able to feed by hand. Back out after each 1/8 of a turn to clear the debris. Do it correctly and it will work, do it wrong and the tap may break. No issues and the 2-56 screw fit well.

They are brittle. I broke all three tapping holes in some 1/8” mild steel. It did get me out of a bind, and shipping was fast.
