Hi all

So I was tempted by the devil and bought one of these cheapie 40 pcs
tap and
die sets (the ones in the blue case). Those hex dies are useless of
course,at least for starting threads. Care to suggest creative uses for
the stuff, so the loss wont be total?

Regards,

MOngke


I got tricked, too. In case anyone didn't know, the dies don't have a taper
to get started. I bought it to just clean bolt threads and hole threads
anyway, so I think I got what I paid for.
