Honestly, Heli(-)Coil versus Timesert seems like a matter of opinion. I spent at least an hour reading about it and people list pros and cons for each side. One single piece does sound better than a coil of wire, but from what I have read, neither really fail when installed properly, which, considering my usual luck with projects (and the ladies), does not reassure me at all.

Amazon offered same-day shipping on the drill bit and the guide. Sweet! Let me drive up there in the dark, line up the drill bit, and twist the bit between my fingers!
