M5 tap.... with tool/handle... where from ?
I bought a cheap ebay tap set for about £6, which worked well enough, but is now worn and crap after 3-4 uses
So want to buy a decent set this time..

I'd be looking at Cromwell or RS components for decent kit.

You need to make sure it's high speed steel not carbon. Put the link up before you press buy so we can look

Dormer stuff is good. Don't buy shite as it will snap off and ruin your expensive what ever you were working on.

We use taps a lot at work, mostly for cleaning threads but also for cutting new threads. We buy them from Wurth, they must be pretty good because I haven't broken one for months
