Threading and repairing the most common SAE machine-screw sizes, this Milwaukee 17-piece tap and die set brings precision-machined taps, dies, and the handles to drive them into one organized kit. Five straight-flute plug taps cut internal threads while five matching 1" hex dies cut and repair external threads across 6-32, 8-32, 10-24, 10-32, and 1/4-20 sizes, and five pilot drill bits size the holes for tapping. Made from high-carbon steel with a black-oxide finish for corrosion resistance, every tap and die carries long-lasting laser-etched size markings that stay legible on the job. A T-handle tap wrench and a 1" hex die stock round out the set for controlled hand threading, with a storage case to keep the pieces organized.
Key Features:
- Cuts & Repairs SAE Threads -- Five plug taps thread holes and five 1" hex dies cut or repair external threads in 6-32, 8-32, 10-24, 10-32, and 1/4-20 sizes.
- Clear Laser-Etched Markings -- Long-lasting laser-etched size markings stay legible far better than stamped ones for quick, correct selection.
- Black-Oxide, High-Carbon Steel -- Durable high-carbon steel with a corrosion-resistant black-oxide coating for long service life.
- Pilot Drill Bits Included -- Five drill bits (#7, #21, #25, #29, #36) size the holes for tapping and are made for use with drill drivers.
- Handles Included -- A T-handle drives taps up to 1/4" and a 1" hex die stock drives the dies, also fitting standard 1" hex die stocks.
Where to Use:
- Building maintenance -- Cutting and restoring machine-screw threads on equipment, fixtures, and fasteners.
- Metal fabrication & repair -- Threading brass, aluminum, and mild steel parts on the bench or in the field.
