M13 tap and die

[MedWoodWorx]

What is your opinion about cheap chinese taps and dies? I can find loads on ebay. Since i ll be threading ebonite and plastics arent these ok?
The only good quality i can find for double the price is that one below. Is it worth it?
Cheers

The old adage comes to mind you get what you pay for, however I haven't had any problems with my 10X1 taps from China. You can always buy an inexpensive tap and die to get yourself familiar with the process. You only get one start and not triple start, but as long as you don't have a real long tenon it will work. Best of luck,

I'm not sure if it is worth it for you but Victor Machine has good product. Not sure if shipping would be higher than your link.

While I don't have a 13mm set, All of my sets , including 12mm, are generic amazon buys & no significant problems (yet)
