8:15 after he said If you're "dying" for more great content, I was so disappointed that he didn't say "tap" the subscribe button. Pity on you, sir! But seriously, awesome instructional video, thank you for the free education!

A sadly missed opportunity
I love the tap breaking and the sad music, with serious stuff like this video its nice to see a bit of silliness. We need that more and more in todays world.

Excellent example of what an instructional video should be - informative, clear and concise with the graphic supporting the text. Thanks very much!
This kit of tools is amazing! I don't need to make my own hardware, but the ability to do so is something too powerful not to have, just in case!
This is definitely one of the BEST most comprehensive and professional tutorials on You tube.

Thank you. This is, literally, one of the BEST and professionally done teaching videos I've seen on YT
Good job! You're a great tutor! I learned everything I needed to know about this, plus your explanation of the different tap ends helped a lot!
The illustrations make this easy to understand. I appreciate how you just give the knowledge and aren’t aggressively trying to sell us something. Thanks!
Well done. I'm new to taps and dies. I working on a project involving taping to the right gauge and you nailed it. Thanks
By far the best explanatory video I have seen on YT, and I have seen quite a lot... grats and greets from Hungary!
Really appreciate this! I recently inherited some tools from my late grandfather including a tungsten steel tap and die set. Thank you for the great and easy explanations!
A good tip my father taught me is to put the tap in your pocket well before starting the job, so that it is warm and will be less liable to snap.

thanks jeff, this si the most well xplain video about taps n dies i've seen so far
Amazing video! Crystal clear visual and verbal explanations!
A good tap and die set is a mechanics best friend. Essential to working with bolt holes and threaded fasteners.
People should learn about forming taps and spiral taps for blind holes

I highly agree! "Thread Forming Taps" produce stronger threads as they forge the threads instead of cutting them. The metal grains are, generally, forced to follow the shape of the treads. Forming taps can do bottoming in blind holes. Forming taps don't need to do the pecking dance as the don't produce chips which don't need to be cleared. There are also "Thread forming Dies" also. redrok
Excellent summary. Thank you.
3:11 OMG I almost fell over laughing. LOL.
Many thanks. Your demo was Brilliant, so clear and concise.
Thank you for presenting these great products!
Hey! Thanks for the information. My late grandfather was a tool hoarder. I didn't want to throw anything out as it looked useful. Now I know what those doohickys are!
The sad music that played when the tap broke was awesome...
Excellent tutorial. Very informative. Thanks!
High production value and informative, thanks for posting !

I mainly use these to repair/clean threads. I had to do an M22x1.5 and the end was mushroomed, the nuts would fit on the other axle. I had to buy a new set as my current one topped out at M16/M18. Getting that thread recovered meant I had to reverse the tools. I held and turned the part while keeping the handle still. Luckily for me the part was a drive shaft and had didn't matter if I was bending it as the bottom part with the threads was being kept still regardless. 2 hours later and that nut went on nicely, then I did the nuts. Even better.
Great video and loved the editing
