~30 years ago when I bought my first cheap set of small metrics it came with a 1/8" BSP tap and I thought the same thing but in the last 5 years I have got into vacuum lines and small plumbing fittings and it has become quite useful. The ones I haven't (yet) used in that set are the 4.5 and 3.5mm.

Hi Guys,
3.5 mm and 2.5 mm are good for utilising the screws found in computers ! Particularly the Torx socket headed ones.Best Regards:

I've used the 2.5mm ones in electronics projects.
My 3D printer uses brass extruder nozzles with an M6 0.75mm pitch, compared to most common standard nozzles which are 1mm pitch. I got a spare with the printer but bored that out to a 0.8mm nozzle ( standard size if 0.4mm) so had no spare when that one clogged. Initially I found it difficult to get 3rd party (ie cheeeep) replacements and was considering making my own but suddenly a bunch popped up on ebay, 5 nozzles for $20
