I agree that timeserts are better Nicholas 900. I was avoiding the cost argument for the one time user. A whole 1/4"-20 heli-coil kit with the bit, installer and a bunch of inserts can be found at a local Ace True Value for less than 10 bucks

Yup. There's nothing wrong with heli-coils. I just think the timeserts are a better design. The cost difference is significant though. Now that I have most of the install kits it's a cheap process to order more inserts.
