Like most of us, I usually use the same few taps and drills for all my projects. Drills I can sharpen, but I've never had much luck trying to resharpen a tap. As a result, I was looking to replace my most used sizes, and came across this on eBay:

Includes a cheap tap wrench, which I will probably never use, but it has the sizes I need. We shall see if they are any good when I'm back on my feet.

Are those taps HSS or carbon steel?

Apparently, high carbon steel.

Got an Amazon order delayed, then cancelled. Package damaged, they said. My office mate, who has Prime, offered to get the parts for me, and drop shipped them to my door.
Stock picture, because it's just too much walking to go downstairs to take the picture.

I've had the knurling tool for quite a long time, but I only ever had fine diamond knurls. Now I can make coarser ones, plus straight, which is great for small thumbscrews.
