Default M16 x 1.5 tap anyone?

Does anyone in the south Houston, particularly Alvin, Pearland, Friendswood, Manvel, etc. have a M16 x 1.5 tap? I don't want to buy one to use 1 time. I'll NEVER need it again.

Ok, so I called around and none of my local auto parts stores have it. Their entire taps sets don't even include it. I also check Harbor Freight and I would have to be a $80 set just for the one tap. I knew it was going to be like this, so that is why I'm asking if anyone has this particular tap. Thanks.

Damn dude, what a badass price! I'm not looking to buy one, I just wanted to borrow one. I need it ONE time to clean up some threads.

I work in a freakin' machine shop and we DIDN'T even have one. We had a M14, then it jumped up to a M20 or 21. We don't deal with a lot of metric threads. All our machining is all oil field related.

I wouldn't call it bitching, just not logical. I sold a part to a board member, but before I put it in the box and shipped it off, I took a closer look at the threads and noticed that they needed to be cleaned up. I didn't want to send it off the way it is and let him be responsible for it. I sold the item for $20 shipped, so it would be kind of pointless buying a $15 tap that I'm only going to use once so that I can sell something for $20. I was hoping I could borrow someone's for like 5 minutes.
