Milwaukee Tool continues to innovate, delivering 125 new threading solutions for automotive technicians, service electricians, and maintenance crews with their new Taps and Dies Program. Tap and dies are metal threading tools for components such as screws, nuts, and bolts.
Milwaukee’s new taps and dies feature precision machined threads, which are ideal for creating and repairing clean, accurate threads on various metal applications. The innovation is designed to provide breakthrough enhancements in a category that has seen little to no improvement in decades.
“With the launch of Milwaukee taps and dies, we delivered on our promise to disrupt the market,” said Ricky Stoegbauer, product manager, Power Tool Accessories. “We saw that very little innovation has been very little innovation made to taps and dies. We take pride in conducting countless hours of field research with our users, understanding their pain points with current solutions, their needs, and their applications.”
The new taps and dies have three premium features: black oxide coating to fight against corrosion, the clearest markings for quick and easy size identification, and precision machined threads for precise threading.
Through our research, we found that automotive mechanics, facility maintenance teams, and general contractors are frustrated by their current taps and dies. It is hard to read the size, they must carry around multiple different-sized handles, and often the product breaks. We sought to change that,” added Stoegbauer.
Additionally, the company released the Milwaukee Hex-LOK 2-in-1 handle, which provides maximum leverage and control to get the job done right. The handle’s ergonomic grip and all-metal design are optimized for smooth operation.
The Hex-LOK 2-in-1 handle combines the ability to thread with one-inch hex dies, and taps up to 1/2” when paired with the Milwaukee tap collet. With this innovative 2-in-1 handle design, users can easily swap between internal or external threading providing the most versatile threading solution.
Ultimately, the new Hex-LOK reduces the number of total components carried on the job.
