Milwaukee 49-22-5600 17PC SAE Tap and Die Set

The Milwaukee 49-22-5600 17PC SAE Tap and Die Set is designed for cutting and repairing common standard threads in metal applications. This SAE tap and die set includes precision machined plug taps, 1″ hex dies, matching drill bits, and threading handles to support the most frequently used coarse and fine thread sizes. Manufactured from high carbon steel and finished with a Black Oxide coating, the taps and dies resist corrosion while maintaining clean, consistent thread profiles in brass, aluminum, mild steel, and similar materials. Long-lasting laser-etched size markings remain clearly visible, helping users quickly identify the correct tool during service or fabrication work.

The plug taps are designed for through-hole threading and feature a square shank that fits standard tap handles and tap wrenches. The 1″ hex dies are compatible with the included die stock as well as the Milwaukee Hex-LOK™ 2-in-1 Handle (sold separately) and other standard 1″ hex die stocks. The set also includes correctly sized twist drill bits for pilot drilling, designed for use with drill drivers. For best results, hand taps should be used manually with cutting fluid to produce accurate threads and extend tool life.
