Tap and die for steel conduit or small ones for 3.5mm fascia screws?
OP
good point..yes im looking for 25mm steel conduit mate..
You could have the best tooling in the world but without decent cutting oil/paste your wasting your money.
I tend to use CT90 for saws and light drilling and Temaxol for thread cutting and heavier drilling.
Either Bahco or Eclipse hacksaw blades.

Good hacksaw blades are damn expensive. I usually get Starrett bi-metal hacksaw blades, they're very decent but mainly because we don't have very many options where I am.
If you're using it on thin materials then a high TPI blade is best like 32TPI, for thicker walled conduit maybe a 25 or 20TPI.

thanks marvo..usualy i used them for steel contuit..
OP
its not problem of paste or oil..im used them on any threading but problem its that tap and die its bit bigger than 25mm conduit and when you make thread they come slightly on angle..for that im looking for some tap and die who its more proffesional than that stupid chinese tap and die..
What tool are you using for threading? Doesn't it have a head that has an alingment collar?
I do a fair bit of metal work and you need one of these https://www.amazon.com/Bare-Tool-Milwaukee-2625-20-One-Handed-Reciprocating/dp/B003EZWK42 saves so much time and effort, as for stock and dies the best ones I've used are all like 30 years old, as above though you need a decent cutting paste.

On an Angle? Are you using the guide?
Most of my taps and dies were Sykes Pickavant. In fact in the old days I had a lot of their gear . I always found it to be good quality.
