Product Description
Milwaukee Hex-LOK 2-in-1 Tap and Die Threading Handle
Model Number: 49-57-5002
The Milwaukee 49-57-5002 is the Hex-LOK 2-in-1 Tap and Die Threading Handle, the most versatile threading solution in Milwaukee's tap and die system. Its defining feature is right in the name: one handle handles both internal and external threading. It accepts Milwaukee's 1 in. hex dies to cut external threads, and it accepts the Milwaukee Tap Collet to hold and turn taps for internal threads, so a single handle covers both sides of any threading job instead of requiring a separate tap wrench and die stock. The handle is engineered for the most controlled, smoothest threading, with an optimized weight that balances the tool in hand for steady, square cutting, which is what produces clean threads and protects the cutting edges. The ergonomic grip is designed for ultimate user comfort through the repeated turning that tapping and die work demand.
The Hex-LOK design makes changeovers effortless. Its all-metal construction allows tool-free die and collet changes, so a 1 in. hex die or the tap collet snaps in and out by hand without any additional tools, letting you switch between cutting an external thread and an internal thread in seconds. That all-metal build also stands up to the twisting loads of threading for increased durability, and the tool is covered under a Milwaukee limited lifetime warranty. When combined with a hex die or tap collet, the handle is designed for use in the most common metal applications, including brass, aluminum, mild steel, and more.
Please note what is and is not included: this listing is for the Hex-LOK 2-in-1 Handle itself. To cut external threads you will need Milwaukee 1 in. hex dies, and to cut internal threads with taps you will need the Milwaukee Tap Collet (49-57-5001), both sold separately. At 11 in. long, the handle provides ample leverage for driving dies and taps across the full range of sizes. For machinists, fabricators, mechanics, and maintenance crews building out a Milwaukee tap and die kit, the Hex-LOK 2-in-1 Handle is the central tool that drives it all.
