Anyone ever try this kit to repair stripped spark plug threads. I am asking for a friend?

I have seen all the past threads on plug thread repair and helicoil vs time-serts vs head removal/weld and retap. The above part looks a bit like time-sert. I just want to know if any have tried the above kit and how did it work?
Also, check out this tool:

You insert the collapsed tap into the hole, draw back on the mandrel to expand the cutting threads, and draw it out as you cut new threads to help prevent shavings from going into the cylinder. This is a new one to me. Has anyone tried it and is it worth the $$?
