I've bought similar sets to this in the past, and would be very surpised if they were split die - usually find they are die nuts. Also the quality of the taps is usually mediocre - I'm afraid that sometinmes saving a few quild on something like this is a bad bargain if you later end up scrapping a piece of work that tyou have investid time & effort in just to have a tap snap off. Buy one good quality set and it should last for ages (I've had a set made by PRESTO in around 1970 and its still OK, i've only had to replace a couple of the smaller taps (3 & 4mm) ever! Mike
