Shockwave I am always open too learning about new tools and your post had me looking up more information about that company:

If they are indeed made in Germany then you are looking at a very nice quality set of Taps & Dies. Maybe some of our GJ members From Germany will chime in about the quality of their tools.

It depend. If they import from OSG (Japanese), they are extremely high quality (I think better than Greenfield). Greenfield is now owned by the Chinese, but still American made (same situation as Hein Werner). Greenfield is still very high quality.

I have some small Greenfield taps made in Japan but they seem good.
