What thread sizes are included in this 20-piece set?

This set includes taps and dies for common metric sizes: M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, and M12. It also comes with the adjustable tap wrench and die handle needed to use them. It's a good general-purpose kit for creating and repairing small to medium bolt threads.

What's the difference between the tap and the die in the kit?

It's straightforward: taps cut internal threads inside a drilled hole, for a bolt to screw into. Dies cut external threads onto a plain rod or bolt. This set lets you do both, for making new threads or cleaning up damaged ones.

What material are these made from, and can I use them on stainless steel?

The taps and dies in this kit are made from carbon steel. They work well for cutting threads in softer materials like mild steel, aluminium, brass, and plastics. For harder materials like stainless steel, you would typically need a set made from High-Speed Steel (HSS).
