Got tired of breaking these little money sinks. So the order specialist at my tool house suggested this tap for $3 more than
a usual high performance OSG tap.

The actual taps I bought look different from the picture. My taps have the tip coated. It looks like there was a flame that
heated the tip because of the dis-coloration/line after the threads. So, will this tap last longer? Or is a coating eventually
going to wear off. Or is the physical properties of the metal different. Or is it just a little harder and thus more brittle
and will break easier under hand tapping?
(Damn, I needed to ask a question and break away from the screen. USA and the Swiss are playing volleyball. Golden brown...)
