I'll second the rest of the advice. I'd also avoid Vermont American. 
Very poor quality. Most of my taps are either TRW, or Brubaker. I have 
some Japanese taps that are also very good. The problem with most 
Chinese taps is soft steel.

Be sure to use lubricate the tap well when you chase the threads. A 
thread cutting oil is best, and readily available in the plumbing 
department.
