Product Description
Milwaukee Hex-LOK 2-in-1 Tap and Die Threading Handle and Tap Collet
Model Number: 49-57-5003
The Milwaukee 49-57-5003 is the Hex-LOK 2-in-1 Tap and Die Threading Handle and Tap Collet, the complete threading-handle solution that pairs Milwaukee's most versatile handle with the tap collet in one package. This is the difference between this set and the handle sold on its own: it includes both the Hex-LOK 2-in-1 Handle and the Tap Collet, so you have everything needed to drive taps right out of the package rather than sourcing the collet separately. The Hex-LOK 2-in-1 Handle is designed for the most controlled, smoothest threading, combining internal and external threading in one handle through its compatibility with both 1 in. hex dies and the included tap collet. The tap collet holds the widest tap range, securing all tap sizes up to 1/2 in. with a durable all-metal dual jaw design, where a forward jaw holds taps from 1/4 in. to 1/2 in. and a recessed jaw secures smaller taps up to 1/4 in. Together they cover the full run of common tap sizes plus the entire 1 in. hex die range.
The system is engineered for control, comfort, and quick changes. The handle's optimized weight balances the tool in hand for steady, square cutting, and its ergonomic grip delivers comfort through the repeated turning that tapping and die work demand. The all-metal construction allows tool-free die and tap collet changes, so the collet or a 1 in. hex die snaps in and out by hand in seconds, letting you switch between cutting internal threads with a tap and external threads with a die without any additional tools. The adjustable collet clamps each tap tightly and concentrically for smooth, no-wobble threading that keeps the tap cutting true, and the whole assembly is built to stand up to the twisting loads of threading. It is covered under a Milwaukee limited lifetime warranty.
When combined with a hex die or a tap in the collet, this handle and collet set is designed for use in the most common metal applications, including brass, aluminum, mild steel, and more. Please note that taps and dies are not included: the set provides the handle and the collet that drive them, so add your Milwaukee taps for internal threading and Milwaukee 1 in. hex dies for external threading. For machinists, fabricators, mechanics, and maintenance crews building out a Milwaukee tap and die kit, the 49-57-5003 is the ideal starting point, delivering the handle and the tap collet together as the central tools that run the entire system.
