I love the tap breaking and the sad music, with serious stuff like this video its nice to see a bit of silliness. We need that more and more in todays world.
The illustrations make this easy to understand. I appreciate how you just give the knowledge and aren’t aggressively trying to sell us something. Thanks!
Really appreciate this! I recently inherited some tools from my late grandfather including a tungsten steel tap and die set. Thank you for the great and easy explanations!
Jeff nails the puns, dyeing for more great content. Can't wait to drill down follow up on those threads. Great job Jeff! Now I get it. I have never used a tap and die before. Most helpful.
Hey! Thanks for the information. My late grandfather was a tool hoarder. I didn't want to throw anything out as it looked useful. Now I know what those doohickys are!
@@douganderson7002 What about sprinkling some steak tenderiser on it and give it thorough beating with a meat tenderising hammer...do you reckon that would help?😂😂
Wow! I didnt know a single thing about tap and dies in my 29 yrs of existence!! I feel like i dont need to watch a single other video on it. You just got a subscriber 😎
Hello " Jeff "..... This video is very helpful.. Thanks to you, I can stop an bathroom leak and return my bathroom area " back to tranquility " , due to everything you illustrated me... This video is wonderful!!! ☺☺☺☺☺👌👍.
I highly agree! "Thread Forming Taps" produce stronger threads as they forge the threads instead of cutting them. The metal grains are, generally, forced to follow the shape of the treads. Forming taps can do bottoming in blind holes. Forming taps don't need to do the pecking dance as the don't produce chips which don't need to be cleared. There are also "Thread forming Dies" also. redrok
That is a huge collection set of tap and dies! In case you do not have that liquid, a fully synthetic engine oil works the same. Make sure to clean it after!
Not sure how this video popped up, but as a non machinist, I always wondered what taps and dies are...now I know and can rest easier!! Nice job. I have to start building!!
Snapped a bolt the other day and drilled it out yesterday but of course it won't accept a new bolt without re-threading so I found this video for some background info. Very helpful, thanks!
This is the sort of thing they should be teaching [more often] in schools…my older brother was the last generation to learn this in high school shop class, during the 1980s. His class project was to make a set of nuts and bolts using the tap and die set. No breaking the taps, the nuts and bolts must thread properly, or it’s an “F”.
Stem is important but i would love to see shop class and home economics become mandatory for every student. Basic tool usage, cooking, sewing, and especially personal finance. With wall street, banks and SS shenanigans trying to screw normal people, children need to learn that our disposable and credit usage attitudes are unhealthy. Sure that should be up to the parent but the country has over 300M people and many parents don't have the time or knowledge. Waiting for that to meaningfully catch up could be too late.
@@woodstream6137 I, or rather my older brother, has a funny shop class story. There was a kid in his class who wanted to make a wooden engraved sign for his dad, “DAD’S WORKSHOP”, as his final project and Christmas gift. First he engraved it, but forgot to space it so it ended up reading “DAD’SWORKSHOP”. No problem, he figures, he can do the other side and fill in the mistake with wood putty and sandpaper later. When he finished, to his horror the side read “DD’S WORKSHOP”. He forgot the “A”. That’s when the bell rang, ending the last class of the school day, and the final school day before Christmas break.
I mainly use these to repair/clean threads. I had to do an M22x1.5 and the end was mushroomed, the nuts would fit on the other axle. I had to buy a new set as my current one topped out at M16/M18. Getting that thread recovered meant I had to reverse the tools. I held and turned the part while keeping the handle still. Luckily for me the part was a drive shaft and had didn't matter if I was bending it as the bottom part with the threads was being kept still regardless. 2 hours later and that nut went on nicely, then I did the nuts. Even better.
Wow, this was a great video. Very helpful and I learned a few things about threads I never knew. I am going to watch all your videos and visit your web site for purchasing. Thanks for sharing.

Yall deserve more subscribers!!! Totally underrated channel. All the very best from my side. That was some pro level content. Yall will grow to millions soon one day ;) Now I don't have any doubt regarding dies and taps. Thankyou very much🙏🏻
Thanks for the great tutorial! Well done. A word of caution! When fabricating your own fasteners, remember the ones you buy are heat treated after they are made. Also the material is of much higher strength and quality that the cheep mild steel you have laying around. Example: You want to attach your seat belt to the cross member behind the seat. Say you used ¼ inch thick material. Well a coarse bolt only has max 3.5 threads engaged (really more like TWO, the first and last don't hold much) and a fine pitch has max. FIVE and that in mild steel tubing. Please don't bet your life on it. The bolt will rip right out. Grade 8 fasteners exist for a reason.

A sadly missed opportunity
This is an awesome intro to taps and dies!!! Professionally made and edited (thank goodness).
We're glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Thank you. This is, literally, one of the BEST and professionally done teaching videos I've seen on YT
Excellent example of what an instructional video should be - informative, clear and concise with the graphic supporting the text. Thanks very much!
This is definitely one of the BEST most comprehensive and professional tutorials on You tube.
Definitely aimed at total novices.

I want a hammer! Do you know what a damn hammer is?
I was in class and laughed my lungs 🤣 out when that part appeared.
The illustrations make this easy to understand. I appreciate how you just give the knowledge and aren’t aggressively trying to sell us something. Thanks!
I wasn't dying to find this content but I was tapping your source for useful information.
OMG
Good job! You're a great tutor! I learned everything I needed to know about this, plus your explanation of the different tap ends helped a lot!
This kit of tools is amazing! I don't need to make my own hardware, but the ability to do so is something too powerful not to have, just in case!
Well done. I'm new to taps and dies. I working on a project involving taping to the right gauge and you nailed it. Thanks
Really appreciate this! I recently inherited some tools from my late grandfather including a tungsten steel tap and die set. Thank you for the great and easy explanations!
thanks jeff, this si the most well xplain video about taps n dies i've seen so far
By far the best explanatory video I have seen on YT, and I have seen quite a lot... grats and greets from Hungary!
Great presentation

A good tap and die set is a mechanics best friend. Essential to working with bolt holes and threaded fasteners.
Thanks for all the solid information!
High production value and informative, thanks for posting !
Thanks for the positive feedback, we're glad you enjoyed it!
Hey! Thanks for the information. My late grandfather was a tool hoarder. I didn't want to throw anything out as it looked useful. Now I know what those doohickys are!
A good tip my father taught me is to put the tap in your pocket well before starting the job, so that it is warm and will be less liable to snap.
@@douganderson7002 It's way better to microwave them before use

People should learn about forming taps and spiral taps for blind holes
I highly agree! "Thread Forming Taps" produce stronger threads as they forge the threads instead of cutting them. The metal grains are, generally, forced to follow the shape of the treads.
Forming taps can do bottoming in blind holes.
Forming taps don't need to do the pecking dance as the don't produce chips which don't need to be cleared.
There are also "Thread forming Dies" also.

I lost it when the sad music started playing after the tap broke....
that part killed me i have tears
They should have the other sad song, oh nonono or na na nana lol
