It may have changed, but I've had good service from the "Hansen" set I got
from Ace Hardware over 30 years ago.

So are you saying their taps & dies have not followed the general trend of
their other tools?  They used to be good stuff, but quality has dropped

BTW, the set I got from Harbor Freight actually cuts threads the wrong size.
A definite thumbs-down.
