Snap on tap and die set

[Chicken lights]

Shopping on Kijiji this morning ran across this basically new tap and die set. #4 up to half inch coarse, then a bunch of fine tooth ones. Pretty much half of what it would’ve cost from the truck.

That is a nice set, I am curious would there be any guarantee on these from snap on?

Lifetime warranty, far as I know. They warrantied a thread chaser for me this year.

It shouldn’t matter, with Craftsman it didn’t matter Sears in Victoria had a old ratchet on display that was turned in and exchanged.

They don't warranty the Blue Point tools they sell, had a Blue Point air ratchet that needed repair w=and the local rep said no warranty.

Wow, that must have been very expensive if it came at half the cost from the truck. At least 200 CAD, new 400 CAD.

Half off is expensive? It’s almost as much as a 50% saving

The fancy red case is guaranteed $100 I’d bet, if you could even buy it separate

You'll be smiling for the next 50 years every time you pull out and open and use that beautiful set I would bet it cuts nice threads too.

Snap-on occasionally asks for an original receipt of purchase to get warranty, good tools but warranty isn't as great as it used to be.

Well I almost got rethreading kit. From Snap on. For 80 CAD. I messaged 16 min after ad was posted... but it was already sold!

If you can get a set, they are awesome. All the way to 5/8” nc dies and 9/16” on the taps.

What ARE thread files for or how ya use them?

These are used to clean up the threads - they are 8 thread sizes per file - 4 on each end and 1 per side. You just move them accorss the threads - or so I am guessing. I have 1 such file.

BTW, my re-threading set is being flipped for $50 more - $130 on FaceBook.
