Yup, m10x1.0, Crappy Tire has a kit with it included on sale this week. Or Brafasco will have them, the later will cost you about 60 bucks

Really, a quality tap/die is more important when cutting new threads, not chasing them, but if you have the money sure go a head and spend it . It's unlikely you will break a tap by chasing threads.
