Lowes Clearance 1/4 X 20 tap/die combo for stuck case removal
Would this work well for stuck case removal? It's suddenly on a clearance deal. 75% off. Pretty cheap for some backups or to have on hand to help someone else out. I just ordered 3, for what the heck why not.

For a stuck case removal from a sizing die? Yes. My RCBS tap rusted badly.

That may, what about the other parts/tools? I have the Lyman stuck case removal kit, used it a few times.
It comes with the parts that, once you ‘tap’ it, a screw & holder to pull the case out. I think you could pair that tap with the rest of the kit, and a screw to pull the case out.
I’m not big on sticking cases, sometimes a tight case with a weak rim can lead to frustration. I load a few weirdo cartridges, at times used a case holder that wasn’t ideal.

I've been very lucky, only stuck one case, a .223
Used the RCBS kit to pull it out and decided after that experience to only use Lee sizing dies as they come with a stuck case remover built in.
10 times faster.
