Yep. I saw that one. Since I'm not in a rush, I was hoping to casually drift by one.
If I had a tap, I doubt I'd be asking for one as I'm all about repairing what I have versus replacing, but it's one of those things where I wouldn't use it enough to make it worth buying the tool to fix it vs the cost of replacing the whole thing. This is a situation I find myself in all too often where I have to weigh the cost/benefit to make decisions on tools. The generic, use every tools are no brainers, but some of them are downright expensive for what they do and the narrow application. For this tool, this is the ONLY hole I'd ever use it on and the tool will most likely cost more than the part. soooo.....
just casually watching for something just in case either someone has one or ends up with one they were going to throw away... seriously, no rush.
