Reiff & Nestor: USA made taps, interesting video.

Came across this video while trying to find out some more info about an R&N tap I got.

The video just introduces you to the staff, with very little actual manufacturing going on. But you can see the machinery in the background. It's all a bunch of old school Browne & Sharpe, Cincinnati, etc.

cool video, thanks. Do these guys oem for a bunch of brands or what? Anyone got any experience with them?

Nice! And the length of time people work there, plus multiple generations of workers, speaks a volumes about how they treat employees.

The open question is who made the 2 sided (10, 14 tpi) NU-THRED model I just found. Again, based on name, I am guessing Reiff & Nestor.

Does the example above match your two-sided model?
