Greenfield is my favorite brand. Some of their high tech two flute taps are made in Japan, and they are KILLER good. Black coating. Tough as $#*!.

Gramphans,  we did find a way to end the war quicker, just ask Japan.  And it was done with our measure system - which I agree should be changed over to metric.  Anyone who has ever tried to do a physics  calculation in our imperial system will quickly tell you metric is the only way to go!

MSC Supply has any tap and die form that you can imagine. They are located in almost all major towns.

Track of the Wolf and Muzzleloader Builder's Supply both list taps and the correct drill for each. Just a few mouse clicks and the Santa Claus in the brown truck brings them right to your door.
