Product Description
Milwaukee Tap Collet for Taps up to 1/2 in. and T Handle Bar
Model Number: 49-57-5001
The Milwaukee 49-57-5001 is a Tap Collet with a T-Handle Bar, the tap wrench that holds and turns your taps for controlled, accurate threading. It is designed for versatile tap threading and holds the widest tap range in its class, securing all tap sizes up to 1/2 in. The key to that range is a durable all-metal dual jaw design: a forward jaw holds taps from 1/4 in. to 1/2 in., while a recessed jaw secures smaller taps up to 1/4 in., so a single collet covers the full run of common tap sizes rather than forcing you to swap between multiple handles. The adjustable collet clamps the tap tightly and concentrically for smooth, no-wobble threading, which is what keeps a tap cutting square and true and protects both the tap and the workpiece from a crooked start.
The tool is built for real-world access and leverage. The T-handle bar slides in or out and can be repositioned as needed, so you can shift it to clear an obstruction or bias the handle to one side for more leverage, and pull it in short to work in tight or hard-to-reach spaces where a fixed-width handle will not fit. A knurled finish on the collar gives a secure grip for quick, firm tightening of the tap by hand, and the all-metal jaw construction is built for unmatched threading durability under the twisting loads that tapping puts on a handle. At 7.25 in. long, it delivers practical leverage while staying compact enough to carry.
This tap collet is an essential companion to any set of taps, since a tap needs a handle to turn it. Beyond its own sliding T-handle, the hex-head collet design is also compatible with the Milwaukee Hex-LOK 2-in-1 Threading Handle for even better leverage and control, letting the same collet work in either handle depending on the job (Hex-LOK handle sold separately). For machinists, fabricators, mechanics, and maintenance crews, the 49-57-5001 is a versatile, durable tap wrench that drives the full range of taps up to 1/2 in. and reaches into spots a standard tap handle cannot.
