Milwaukee Guard Locking Tang
Model Number: 44-20-0875
The Milwaukee 44-20-0875 is a genuine OEM Guard Locking Tang for use in compatible Milwaukee grinders. The guard locking tang is the small but critical retaining element that engages a slot or notch in the wheel guard to lock it in its set position and prevent it from rotating around the spindle collar during grinding. The wheel guard on Milwaukee grinders must be locked at the correct position — oriented to shield the operator from sparks and wheel fragments — and the locking tang is the component that holds it firmly in place under the vibration and forces generated during grinding. A worn, broken, or missing guard locking tang that allows the wheel guard to spin freely around the spindle creates an immediate safety hazard and requires replacement before the tool is used again.
Using a genuine Milwaukee OEM guard locking tang ensures the correct engagement geometry for the guard and spindle collar it serves. Always verify your catalog number and serial number on Milwaukee's website before ordering to confirm this is the correct tang for your specific unit.
