Not Good!
Somebody is pulling my leg with 5 star reviews. Set I received was missing one tap because I got a duplicate of another size. The dies had metal flashing continuous with and extending from the die cutting surfaces that actually curled into the open area of the die itself. NOT talking about metal chips from actual use as Irwin thinks. Functional I guess, reasonably finished as a product, NOT! Ok 2nd set arrived with all the correct pieces but I urge you to look closely at the picture in my review and judge for yourself. Think Irwin needs to look at that photo. Certainly not clean milling of product. 2 Star Rating Holds. Update #3: Tired of wasting Amazon's resources and don't want a 3rd bad set. Contacted Irwin direct who will replace the set after seeing pictures BUT, they don't have it in stock and the process was abrasive with no availability estimate given. Looking at Snap-On set your not getting a deal really since their set contains quality die and tap holders which are pricey even on Amazon. 4/1/16 received 3rd replacement set directly from Irwin after a very long wait and things are going from bad to worse. I will add another picture from this 3rd set do you can judge the quality for yourself and my rating now drops from 2 to 1!
