    In need of tap and die set.

    Hi, I'm looking for a tap and die set. I'd like to stay under $100, and I'd rather buy a decent used set than a cheap new one. These look okay to me aside from a bit of surface rust, but I'm interested in hearing what you all think. Otherwise, open to suggestions. https://ebay.io/m/cN3r8M

    Craftsman shaper (534 maybe?) - Is this a useful tool?
