Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What metric thread sizes are included in this tap and die set?
A: The set covers M3 through M12 metric thread sizes. Depending on the kit size you choose (8, 12, or 20 pieces), you'll receive a range of taps and dies spanning this full spectrum, giving you comprehensive coverage for most standard metalworking and repair tasks.
Q: What material are the taps and dies made from?
A: All taps and dies in the Zimir GZ211 set are made from high-grade carbide alloy steel, ensuring exceptional hardness, durability, and resistance to wear — even when cutting threads in tough metals like steel, iron, and aluminum.
Q: Do I need a special wrench to use these taps and dies?
A: No special tools are required. These metric taps and dies are designed to be used with standard hand tap wrenches and die holders, which are widely available and often included in larger sets. They are not intended for use with power tools.
