For a one off, it would be fine if they sold them seperately. I've used import taps on occasion for a seldom used situation and it's worked out well. Good luck with that.

Thanks for the info. guys. I'll try them Sun. after church. I just didn't have much faith in Harbor Freight's stuff. What I've seen didn't impress me.

Nice thing about H.F. If they turn out to be junk, you really didn't lose much! Oh yeah....go up to the ANNOUNCEMENT and print the coupons.... esp the 20% off one.

yeah, but like charlie said, for a 1 time use, should be fine, take your time, and it will last you a lifetime, might even bump your mechanical status to a 3.5!!!!

Bud, printer's out of ink. Library only charges 10¢ per page & I have books to return anyway. Will hit them Sun. after church.

Dusty, you really think I could be that good? All the way to 3½? Seriously, I basically know enough to know when I'm in over my head. This seems fairly simple, I'll give it a try & hope it turns out okay.
