Question 1

Product information says made in china, several reviews say made in u.s.a. where is this set made?

Accepted Answer

The back of this box says "Made in U.S.A. Of Global Components". The case itself says "Made in USA" and the individual pieces are labeled "USA," so it looks like this one is made in good ol' America!

Question 2

Is there any type of warranty on these?

Accepted Answer

They will only replace it there was a defect. Not for abuse, or wear and tear of the tap or die... so, if you were thinking that if it brakes or something happens is to them to answer yes or no. So short answer is no. "They are not lifetime warranty". TO ME LIFETIME WARRANTY IS WHATEVER HAPPENS THEY COVER MY PRODUCT. Here is a copy and paste of their response so you all people can be clear as water.

Hi Harold,

Thank you for your time working with us. We are glad to continue assisting you.

Regarding your inquiry, we want to share that the items have limited lifetime warranty, so no amount of years of coverage. We check the defect and based on the issue, we make a decision of whether it is manufacture defect, normal wear and tear, or an external factor which will leads the item to be out of warranty.

If you have any other inquiry, just let us know. Have a nice day!

This die and tap set are not for threading pipe fittings. They are for USS and SAE machine threads. So they would not necessarily be a need for a beginning plumber.
