I tapped one today, but have got so used to doing it I just pick up the right tap and get on with it. I can't remember what the actual size is (it's Metric Fine 10mm, but I cant remember the relevant pitch for M fine - anybody got a Zeus to hand?)
That's pretty bad form that he is expecting the customer to find out that info after they have paid. There are some people that wouldn't have a clue or stande a chance of being able to find that info out! (not that I'm suggesting that that is you steve!)
