Do you have a Lidl near by? As last week the were selling drill bits and a drill and tap set that are of brilliant quality for the price.
Or that leaves Screwfix/Toolstation for drill bits.
As for the easy outs, you can get away with a small adjustable spanner. Be gentle with the easy out as if it snaps it becomes a real arse if a job to get out
Remember if it goes to shit, you can drill the hole bigger and use a time sert. Time serts are way better than helicoils.
Hopefully you had dry and not too windy weather.
