Well, the werkzeughalter was a kinderwerkzeughalter, which I exchanged for their smallest tap and die set. I do not have any idea if that was big enough, I used the Go 2 Socket, and then the handle from the set. I was not able to use the guide that I bought, the process required two hands, and it did not fit the oddly-sized bit that I needed. It did seem to self-guide, though. I did not purchase the tapping oil, I just used motor oil. hopefully that works well enough. It took a while to get the bit started and the helicoil wanted to go in crooked, but I definitely felt that the most difficult part was figuring out which tools I needed!
