I got a set of metric taps and they are labeled m3,m4 ect. Mine had 2 seperate thread sizes but easy to check the correct tap using the gauge.

Hello Ray
What you need is a good quality tap and die set. From m3 to m12. Over hear in the UK a good set is in the region of £180.00. There are cheaper sets but they tend to snap and you don't want that. Also you need a cutting compound.
Top tip from my brother is use WD40.
