these taps tend to dull quicker but are much less brittle..when i was making body jewelry with 00-90 0-80 1-72 2-56 taps these were the only ones i would use (after a period of trial and error) the added cost of replacing dull taps was made up by not losing time with broken taps...of course if you have a tapping head you wont need to worry about breakage.
the source is reactive metals studio www.reactivemetals.com the cost was about $2 each ..i also loved their mini dies for getting into tight areas -Jason Aube

I have decalred a moritorium on 0-80 screws until I have built a proper tapping jig but as for taps I purchase the cheapest variety that I can find and throw them out when they get dull. Less bother than removing a broken tap.
