Milwaukee Rafter Hook
Model Number: 43-74-0055
The Milwaukee 43-74-0055 is a genuine OEM Rafter Hook for the 6577-20 7-1/4 in. Worm Drive Circular Saw. The rafter hook is the fold-out metal hook mounted on the saw that lets the operator hang the tool from a rafter, joist, stud, truss, or the edge of the work between cuts, rather than setting a running-hot saw down on the material or the ground. On a worm drive saw favored by framers and roofers working at height and on ladders, that ability to instantly hang the saw within reach is a real convenience and safety feature, keeping the tool secure and off the walking surface while freeing both hands. The hook folds out for use and stows against the saw body when not needed. Because the rafter hook is exposed on the outside of the saw and takes the repeated load of the tool's weight along with the knocks of jobsite handling and drops, it is subject to bending, breaking, or wearing at its pivot, at which point it can no longer hold the saw securely. Replacing a bent or broken rafter hook with the correct genuine Milwaukee OEM part restores safe, secure hanging of the saw.
Because Milwaukee Tool specifies replacement parts by both catalog number and serial number, always verify your tool's serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before placing your order, since running production changes can alter part compatibility within the same catalog number. This rafter hook is specified for the 6577-20 7-1/4 in. Worm Drive Circular Saw, so confirm your tool's catalog and serial number against the parts diagram before ordering. The hinge pin, mount hook, mounting screws, and any spring or detent hardware that work with the rafter hook are separate parts that vary by tool, so refer to your tool's parts diagram for the correct companion part numbers and quantities, and inspect the related mounting hardware when replacing the hook since these parts work together.
