Tap and die sets
Set
— sets that include several tools at once.Most often, in this case, it means a set in the traditional sense of the word: a set that includes several tools of different sizes, and often also of different types. The classic set includes dies and/or taps of several diameters, plus the appropriate holder (s). If you plan to often deal with cutting threads of different sizes, such a purchase may be the best option: buying all the necessary dies, taps and accessories for them in one set is at least more convenient, and often cheaper than buying these items separately.
Note that hand taps and hand-machine taps are often also supplied in sets of several pieces (see “Type of tap”). However, these options, usually, are not considered sets: their name simply indicates “tap” and additionally specifies the number of such tools in the set.
