Default Need advice on buying a good tap & die set for small machine work

I have given up using tap wrenches or handles.
Drill a hole, chuck the tap, tap...

I've got an old small bench drill - I've removed the motor and belt guard
and placed a crank handle on the spindle pulley - works well for making sure
holes are tapped square without breaking taps etc.
