My experience is different. Once you have good taps and dies, you find
yourself always chasing threads on your projects and never cross
threading or damaging threads again. I would not only purchase the
highest quality set that I could, but the largest combo metric & SAE
set as well for economy. A large set is generally significant less
than its constituent parts. you aren't paying twice for die and tap
holders.

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.

but I'm not a professional machinist. Thoughts? 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
