Don't forget there are different taps for the same size and thread
pitch- starter, running , bottoming. So you want the set to do it
correctly.
Also, get some ratcheting handles, and don't forget the dies too!!
Small diameters tend to break easily, so those should be purchased in a
higher quantity than just one.
Also as had been said, look for quality - don't buy any garbage from the
pacific rim. Also look for those technology improvements.
