need to borrow Helicoil tools

[OreoGaborio]

I've got a few General and other brand tap wrenches that I will NEVER use

So you're selling them, right?

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

[SprintPoser]

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

[OreoGaborio]

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

[SprintPoser]

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.

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)

this reminds me.... i need to Helicoil a spark plug thread.
anyone know what sizes i'll need, and if anyone has the tools i can borrow?

[OreoGaborio]

Have tools, can borrow. Dunno what size or how to do it.

[Jim]

This thread should be called "what did Jim fuck up again"

[loudbeard]

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

[OreoGaborio]

Jim's not that dumb.

He used an impact gun.

[carsick]

Those left hand thread plugs will get you every time.
