how about a tap and die set? is that what i need? got a favorite?
Since drill bits have gone overseas for manufacture, I would have to agree
that they are almost throwaways unless you either, learn to sharpen them on a
wheel or buy a drill bit sharpener. They don't seem to have much staying
power. It is worth going to an industrial supply house and paying more. I
highly recommend finding a good tap and die set with matching bits. It is much
quicker and easier to get it right the first time. Stay pretty much away from
the 'big box' stores like HD and Lowes. Craftsman makes respectable stuff
and tend to stand behind it. Again; industrial supply.
