Hey Mo,

Me old eyes ain't what they used to be...so....I've got a set like
those (in fact two in inch, and one in metric) with the taps stuck
shank in, and the dies glued over a suitable hole each, on a small
"test" board that I use merely to "size" the odds and sods that turn
up off the floor or at a garage sale or what have you. If the
screw/bolt, or the nut, won't fit, then it is of little value to me
anyway. Just goes in the scrap metals bin. Works better than those
"screw thread" plastic doohickeys.

Take care.
