I require some bulk thread inserts and replacement taps for a few helicoil sets we use here in the shop all the time... These are longer lengths than what most places keep on the shelf and when I got the last batch from J&L and they were all special order from Helicoil.
Pricing seemed high, and there is no discount on the special order stuff, so before I re-order I was wondering if there is another company that I should enquire to?
thanks!
Have you thought about contacting the maker? If you use a lot, they will usually direct deal.
Your definition of a lot might not be theirs.

Fastenal called on me later (I had bought thousands of these over the years all makes), and I gave the sales guy the news.
