Looking to purchase a rethreading set

[muskaman67]

Hey guys im in the search for purchasing a rethreading set. Any brands i should look at? All the cars i use it for will be mostly metric too. Is the craftsman and snap on set virtually the same supplier? Or is snap on worth buying? Thanks.

If you can pick up a set of the ACE/Hanson off ebay. The older Snap-On sets were the same, Not sure about the newer.

AFAIK, most if not all are OEM from this company(a and e tools; kastar brand); truck brands have the benefit of lifetime on all the pieces:

I got the Kastar rethreading set and I have been pleased with it, When they break I give them to the snap on guy since Ive bought quite a bit from him he doesnt realize I never bought the one in the snap on box so warranty is covered!

I have he Craftsman set and have been very happy with it. It's the exact same thing as the Snap On set. The Sears set can be had for around $60.00 when you get it during a 10% off sale and use the $5 off coupon code. The Snap On set is $113.

Are you talking about thread chasers or taps and dies?
As far as the thread chasers, I have the Craftsman set that is made by Kastar and is well liked on this board.
