View Full Version : Modding-ready Tap and Die Set?

I've searched around all of the popular tool brands and home improvement stores in search for a modding friendly Tap and Die set. Annoyingly most sets I find are Imperial, then when I finally find a metric set it only includes one M3.

Does anyone know of a set that has all of the sizes needed for computers?

Instant +rep if you can find a computer-oriented set.

Thanks,
Indybird

Given that most computer screws are imperial, I don't see the problem with that...

I am actually looking for a more minimalist set, preferably under $30. Thanks though.

Why not go to a decent tool store and buy just the ones you need rather than a set?
