I purchased this for one project - tapping a hole for a toggle switch to go in. I didn't want a toggle switch with the nut on the outside as that is easy for anyone to take off and push out - for my case I really needed to avoid this, hence the only other option was to drill and tap. I drilled with a 7/16 bit then followed with this tap. It turned out beautiful, but my issue came from the switch (two of them) only screwing in about 10 threads (still had 10 more to go), after that much resistance was felt. I even tried taking the switch out and running the tap all the way through. My thinking is the switch manufacturer QC doesn't care as much about these tolerances and let's these slide as long as the nut at least threads on all the way.

It seems it's an odd-ball size. I used two 50-cent thread measuring tools and it said the thread pitch was .8. I believed that I knew it was 12mm, so I was expecting to find "M12 x .8" as the tap to purchase. There is no such animal, only thread pitches of 1.0, 1.25, 1.50 and 1.75. The math isn't exact. .8 mm is .0031. This tool is "-32", as in "15/32-32". It took some stumbling to get this figured out. Drilling into a 33 year old car is frightening. This tap worked perfectly to create a couple of threads in 1/8" of aluminum. Tool in perfect condition and tossed into the tool cabinet with at least 6 other "one-time purchases" of different sizes. The unique size seemed to double the cost, $16, I think, vs $8 or $9 for everything else that came up. Sometimes you pay a premium to get what you want. I ordered on Saturday, received on Sunday by 10 PM, and used on Monday, Memorial Day. Job done. If I never use the tap again, not a problem. If I do, it's a bonus. Great Service makes life easier.
