Is this set for cutting metric or imperial threads?

This is a metric tap and die set, designed for threads from M3 to M12. It's suitable for most modern European and Asian vehicles and machinery that use metric fasteners.

Can I use this to repair damaged threads, or is it just for cutting new ones?

You can use it for both. The taps cut new internal threads in a drilled hole and the dies cut new external threads on a rod. Both can also be used to 'chase' or clean up existing damaged threads.
