I agree, for what they cost the various components in the set makes fitting helecoils dead easy, much easier than faffing around with cobbled together stuff we all have laying around.If you havnt the tap, not an insert tool, id be inclined to just get the kit....
NO you need the correct insert tool and correct fitting tool the taps are not a stock size. get the kit or it will all go wrong. how do i know ? 40 years in the aircraft trade we insert nearly all threads from newadvice please folks,I have 2 threads to repair,m12x1.5 mm,do I just drill & tap to suit the o/d of the insert,whatever that is?
