That trouble these days, most suff is chinese (they should be banned from making engineering tools lol) :-( I had a large 1/2 drive socket set at same time I got tap & die set from draper supplier (about 26 years back), was before done expert range & all of it is still superb, sockets way better than snapon & thinner wall so fit tight spots better & chrome don't flake, taps & dies are hard & strong plus cut cleanly & handles are far better clamping than most new stuff.
Hit & miss these days big time on drill bits & tap & dies, if want real good probably need be German or US stuff, Most that HSS will be good but also very expensive. Facom do decent HSS range, some of there stuff is decent, might be worth trying luck with carbon steel mid range set then build up a quality set bit by bit or when see something decent second hand perhaps .
