Is a 40-piece tap and die set worth it compared with buying singles?
| Need | Singles | 40-piece set |
|---|---|---|
| Two sizes, occasional | Better: buy the good grade | Overkill, most pieces unused |
| M3 to M12 across a workshop | Costs more than the set | Better value |
| Repair work, unknown sizes | Repeated trips | One case covers it |
| Production of one thread | Buy three of that tap | Set does not help |
| Restoring old equipment | Imperial sizes needed too | Check the set is the right standard |
What a set actually gives you: taps, dies, and the tap wrench and die stock to drive them. Buying those separately often costs as much as the set, which is the real argument for it.
What it does not give you: the best steel. Carbon steel sets are fine in aluminium, brass and plastic, and marginal in steel. If steel is most of your work, buy cobalt singles in the sizes you use.
