WA> Friends, WA> Here in the USA, metric taps and dies are harder to come WA>by than good ole' brand X. Faced with $25 and a special order for WA>a 13mm tap, I'd be tempted to use a 1/2" tap and nice cheap 1/2" Buy the Harbor Freight $15 40 pc set can really save you but in a pinch, better yet buy the higher qulity $45 set. The time I've saved with even the $15 set amazes me and I've never broken one with VERY careful use. John
