Takes me back to metalwork lessons at school.....heat added (then quenched to allow further metal bashing)

The other two sizes are imperial.
Not bad price for this set, but I would not use it for stainless steel.
Ideal for accidentally cross threaded bolts

Probably not much use for "creating" threads, but fine for cleaning up existing threads - which is the only reason I've ever used tap and die sets.

Presumably it's better not to use contactless when paying for this then?

I used this set to cut a thread on some flat pack furniture where one of the nuts had not been cut and was one of those round jobbies that fit in a drilled hole. As I was building the Moses basket stand I couldn't do without the bit nor mess about taking the thing back after 4 months. I've used it a few times and it's perfect for occasional use.
