Paxton sends a real nice punch with their kits that's short and ramps up fast so you don't have to worry about hitting the throw on the crank. After i tap it i just use RTV or JBWeld on the fitting so i know 100% it won't leak. I have never even came close to one wanting to strip on me. The tap is NPT so the further you go in the bigger the hole gets. i tap it about 3/4 way so the fitting starts easy the first few threads but tightens up pretty quick after that.

I have had ALOT of people bring their cars just for me to tap the pan. They are amazed when it takes 5 minutes to do the job. Alot of them think it's the hardest part of the install. Get a decently sized hammer otherwise you'll be there forever punching the hole.
