I'm a shop owner and buy high end snap on tools for work. I also have tools at home and in vehicles. For the later I have always found I can trust craftsman tools to do my personal jobs and even for everyday use. Would recommend for anyone who does any threading, done properly threads are as good as higher end tools

My friend got a metric tap and die set from Harbor Freight as a Christmas gift, a week before I bought my Craftsman set with some Christmas money. We happened to compare the two kits, and realized the tap handles were exactly identical, along with other components in the kit. Most tools are Chinese made nowadays, including Craftsman, which used to be American made. The price wasn't terrible, but I still could have paid less to get the same exact thing at Harbor Freight. It's not worth it to spend more for Craftsman anymore - they're just a name now. Even their lifetime warranty is useless, since it doesn't apply to taps and dies. Harbor Freight's lifetime warranty, on the contrary, does! The only advantage this kit has over other Chinese-made ones is the fact that the dies are hexagonal shaped, which means they can be used with a wrench or socket in tight spaces. Not a total waste of money - they'll get the job done, but I learned my lesson about buying modern-day Craftsman tools... no wonder why Sears is going under!Read full review

The included case keeps them organized .They do a good job if you use plenty of good cutting oil. You can get replacements when they break and wear out.

Nice set of taps and dies for the money,and I recommend them. IMHO,these are probably the best quality you can buy without spending money in the "Snap-On" category,and are probably made just as well.
