I've been buying my basic drills/taps from these guys…. simply because as a novice I figured I'd rather break cheap stuff. I've found it all OK although nothing 'Rolls Royce' to compare it with.
Interestingly this week i discovered that their taps and dies were cheaper on their auction site listing than direct from their own website! As it happens I needed some dies – ordered from the aution site and they messed up and sent taps. An email was replied to immediately with a promise to post correct items 1st class tomorrow and not bother sending the taps back if I'd like to keep them….
