Nothing wrong with Accusize tools/cutters, not the highest quality but definitely not the worst. Mostly likely from the looks of it you snapped it off from leaning. Trying to tap 1/2-13 in steel by hand is kind of not going to happen with any kind of consistency.

is anyone familiar with accusize industrial tools? it is a canadian co out of toronto. i recently purchased two tap & drill sets metric and SAE. i went with them because they offered HSS at reasonable price.
i used the 1/2-13 tap first time today and it broke mid way in 1/2¡± CR1018 steel bar. yes, i did drill 27/64¡± hole with the drill that came with the tap. just curious, folks with metal knowhow, can you tell if this break shows a manufacturing defect?

i am sure they will send me a replacement tap but i am just wondering if i should return the set or both sets because i am not sure of the quality any more.
