You may be better off just buying the few metric taps and dies you'll actually use. My set has sizes I have never seen in service.

Yes, they are now made in some unknown place, but still seem to work fine.

Also, made in Taiwan machine tools have always been 1st class for me.

Where it's made isn't a big deal as long as it's a good quality tool. I just got an Irwin/Hanson tap that seemed to be nice, made in the USA, yet the cutting threads have burrs and don't look pretty. I'm disappointed in the quality. I'm sure it's still a cut above the Harbor Freight stuff (no pun intended).
