    So you're selling them, right?

    I'll take your best one (that you don't use)... What's a fair price?

    $10 sound fair for one that'll take up to a 1/2" tap?

    Sure. You're not headed to the track any time soon are ya?
    If not... shipping to 01923? Handoff to fellow rider for delivery?

    Re: need to borrow Helicoil tools

    Not going to be there but if by chance you'd be going to Rice-O-Rama it's in my back yard and I'll be going there. BTW, I'll have two for $14, one for 5/16" to 1/2", smaller one for 1/4" and smaller.

    Interested in the pair? Not matching but same T-handle style, both made in USA.

    Failing that, I'm up in Topsfield/Ipswich area fairly often if you want to meet up.

    Here's the pair. the bigger one is kind of nice because it's got a 3/8" drive socket in the top to make it operable via a ratchet or other driver.

    Re: need to borrow Helicoil tools

    Wound up digging around and finding some links to tools for one of my coworkers and figured it wouldn't hurt to share it here as these tools will likely assist in fixing a lot of issues that may arise with fasteners on a relatively modern bike (Asian or European, not necessarily American)

    Tap Handles

    Larger taps

    Amazon.com: General Tools & Instruments 167 Professional Tap Wrench Set: Home Improvement (pretty sure it is the same set recommended earlier by Mr Butler)

    Smaller taps

    http://www.grainger.com/product/WESTWARD-T-Handle-Tap-Wrench-2CYT5?s_pp=false&picUrl=//static.grainger.com/rp/s/is/image/Grainger/2CYT5_AS01?$smthumb$

    Drill Bit Set

    McMaster-Carr Part #30155A57 Black and Gold Oxide High-Speed Steel Jobbers' Drill Set, 25 Drills, 1 to 13mm x 0.5mm, 135 Degree Split Point $110.38

    Metric Tap Set

    McMaster-Carr Part #2608A13 Tap and Drill Bit Set, 29 Pieces, Metric Sizes, with Tap Wrench $199.93

    Maybe Mr Butler and/or those in the know about machining etc. can comment and either confirm or offer up other suggestions for better sets than those above if need be.

    Maybe next time don't tighten your spark plugs with a breaker bar
