Where can you buy replacement Heli Coil taps?

Try MSC. I just bought some from them.

Thanks, I was searching for "Heli Coil Taps" and didn't have any luck. Didn't think of looking for "Screw Thread Insert".

Also search for "Recoil inserts"

Awhile ago I looked through the Enco catalog and never say the taps, of course I was looking in the threaded insert area

Be sure NOT to mix up your drills/hardware/inserts for ReCoil brand with those for HeliCoil brand -

NOT THE SAME STUFF.

I didn't know that. I've used Helicoil insert tools with Recoil and haven't had any trouble. I would have thought there would be some sort of standard for inserts and their taps.
