Product Description
Milwaukee 15pc Metric Tap and Die Set with Hex-LOK 2-in-1 Handle
Model Number: 49-22-5611
The Milwaukee 49-22-5611 is a 15-Piece Metric Tap and Die Set with the Hex-LOK 2-in-1 Handle, built to create and repair metric threads for common internal and external threading tasks. Taps cut internal threads inside a drilled hole, and dies cut external threads onto a rod or bolt, so the set covers both sides of threading work in the most common metric sizes. It includes four plug taps and four matching hex dies in 7mm-1.0, 8mm-1.25, 9mm-1.0, and 10mm-1.5, plus four drill bits (6.0mm, 8.0mm, and letter sizes H and R) for drilling the correct pilot hole before tapping. The standout feature is the Hex-LOK 2-in-1 Handle: it is the most versatile threading solution in the line because it works with both the 1 in. hex dies and the included tap collet, combining internal and external threading in a single handle. Its all-metal construction allows tool-free die and tap collet changes and is optimized for balanced control when threading.
The taps and dies are built for durability and clear use. They are made of high carbon steel for long tool life, and a protective black oxide coating resists the corrosion that would otherwise set in on cutting tools, while long-lasting laser-etched sizing gives the clearest size markings so you grab the right tap or die every time. The plug-style taps are designed for through-hole threading, the most common tapping application, and the 1 in. hex dies fit the Hex-LOK handle as well as any standard 1 in. hex die stock. The set also includes a T-handle bar for the tap collet, giving the control needed for accurate hand threading.
This tap and die set is a practical choice for mechanics, maintenance technicians, and anyone working on metric-threaded fasteners, such as import vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, and equipment, who needs to cut new threads or clean up and repair damaged ones. Note that hand taps and dies are designed for hand threading and are not recommended for use with power tools. The set covers the four most common metric sizes with matching taps, dies, and pilot drills, all driven by the versatile Hex-LOK 2-in-1 handle, and Milwaukee hand tools are backed by a lifetime guarantee. For a technician who runs into metric threads, it is a compact, versatile threading kit.
