This tool is great if you have outlet boxes that are stripped. They allow you to resize the threads from the standard 6-32 (wall box) to 8-32 so you can use a 8-32 screw to retighten outlets.

At least the price is reflective of Klein's increased outsourcing.

where taps and dies are concerned... buy a tool made from a trustworthy tool brand.

Also, while the Amazon picture is not clear, it appears that the actual tap says USA on it - at least it does on the replacements (see pic):

the photos are just stock photos. klein has definitely outsourced a ton of stuff to china, and im sure they havent necessarily scoured all of their product photos and made sure they are updated to reflect that. the photos in the reviews showing what people received confirm that they are made in china.

All taps can break, regardless of where they are made. To be able to hold a cutting edge, they will also be very brittle, so if you put sideways force on them or too much twisting pressure, like if it binds and you don't clear the chips, it's potentially going to break.
But I think that would be rare in a plastic or sheet metal application and even if it does break on you, removal of the broken bit won't be nearly as difficult as, for example, from an engine block.
If you require a US made one, they have a more expensive model: https://www.kleintools.
One thing to note about the more expensive cushion grip model is that it comes with two taps. if you had to purchase the additional tap, You are better off getting the more expensive model. Better grip + internal storage for the second tap. Effectively the same cost

Same price?
Here's the link for the Made in the USA version for those that hate Chinese tools. Now pay up or stop complaining.

Scroll down to Product Information and notice the "Country of Origin China." The price increase is for the extra taps.
The Klein replacement taps from Amazon are also made in China. Our electrical supply house still has the replacement step taps made in the USA. Personally, I use the tap size I want in a cordless drill with a little wax that is exponentially faster.

Not everything made in China is junk, but most of the outsourced products are less than when manufactured in the USA to continue profits over quality. Since profits are why they outsourced to begin with, to continue same with ever increasing wages for Chinese skilled labor, nobody will notice a 10% reduction in cobalt, etc. that allows the CEO to get his/her bonus.
