The best part of this tool is dealing with Christian. Great guy to deal with. I bought one and it did the trick. I bought a new drill bit, and everything went smooth. I then ran a tap thru the hole. It was slow going. I kept turning it a 1/16 of a turn and backing it out I tried wd-40 for cutting oil, then I tried penetrating oil. I finally found MMO (Mystery Marvel Oil) and it gave the easiest turning. I'm not sure if I was threading thru aluminum or the remnants of the stud. I was worried I was going to break off the cheap tap I was using. I spent an hour running the tap in and out. Maybe there is a better cutting oil out there. There is probably a better tap to use. Maybe Christian wil include a drill and a tap in a "KIT"
Anyway what a relief to have it done. Next time I will use the torch on all the nuts (exhaust that is)
