This 77 piece set is lowest price in a year but did get down into the $90s and $80s several times 2-3 years back.

These tap kits have some pros and cons. The pro is that you have it there when you think you will need it. The con is that they very well may not work. In my case with the hardened metal I had to buy a high quality tap. The metal would literally ruin the taps you often buy from Lowes, Home Depot, or could borrow from O'Reilley's. Then you have to consider your application. There are different styles of taps for through-holes versus blind holes. There are taper, plug, and bottoming taps. There are spiral point taps that shoot chips downwards for through holes and spiral flute taps that pull chips out for blind holes. The point is that tapping is a highly application specific activity.
If you are tapping mild steel, aluminum, plastic, or something soft maybe this makes sense. It might be perfect. If you are buying thinking it will cover your future unknown needs, I suggest maybe reconsidering. Quality taps can cost $20-60+ for one. There is zero chance you are getting that quality in a kit like this.
If you really need quality, I can recommend Emuge after being successful. Although I don't have experience with this brand, another highly recommended brand was OSG.

I'm considering a set like the Gearwrench just to have a spare at home for mild steel (and softer material) for 'on the spot fix-it' tasks.
Years ago however, had to drill holes and tap small/common 1/4-20 threads in some AR400 steel and the only tap that would do it was an Emuge 1/4-20 at about $25 each IIRC for that small booger.
If you tried to tap it with these taps you'd see all the cutting threads of your brand new Gearwrench tap just disintegrate into tiny chips.
