And if you believe in Prayer say one BEFORE you start. I hate helicoils but i removed one and installed two for my Son the other day. Like its said above a small pick or screwdriver and a pair of needle nose pliers. I have a set of left handed drill bits that I was thinking about trying but it didn't come to that. We used mostly keenserts in the steel mill for thread repairs.
