cobalt every time. Buy them one at a time, as you need them.

Ouch. Wouldn't want to leave them hanging about! Big price variance too.

That was my thinking and slowly build a collection. Thanks. Just ordered a 10.5mm to replace the one in the set

ive inherited quite a few tools over the years,including a range of taps and dies covering bsw ,bsf ,ba as well as my own metric and imperial
There's a few taps in there but not a die handle or tap handle. I got a metric set bought for me by an old boss on my 18th birthday - nice gesture. I don't think they're up to it though. I think I'll get a new metric set in future. I wish I'd be more careful with my tools when I was younger. I seem to have lost a fair few moving houses etc
There's a few tools that I have no idea about - I think they're electrician tools haha

Corroless me thinks.
Yes this bonda primer seems decent stuff and a little bit goes miles. The screwfix stuff isn't much cop though. I painted it a touch thick I think. I've only done the diff with it but it's soft. The bonda primer sets really hard. Almost like epoxy mastic

Unless you are using a machine feed to drill and tap , I would get separate drill and taps.
Cheers
Why would you do That?!
I wouldn't trust myself using those anyways. I was always taught half a turn back after every full turn. Had the old workshop techs voice in my head earlier haha

Or leave you with a lot of broken taps in holes......Mag drills are great, but I still recommend separate drills and taps of good quality.
Cheers
