Product Information

Full details

The Milwaukee Packout Metric Tap and Die Set is a high-performance threading solution designed for professional metalworkers and fabricators who prioritize organizational efficiency and precision. By integrating the innovative Hex-LOK 2-in-1 handle system, this 38-piece kit allows for rapid, tool-free swaps between taps and dies, significantly reducing downtime on the job site; however, it is strictly optimized for threading mild steel, brass, and aluminum, and should not be used on hardened or stainless steels.

FAQs

Can I use this set on stainless steel?

No, this set is specifically designed for mild steel, brass, and aluminum. Using it on harder materials will damage the cutting teeth.

Are the dies compatible with other handle systems?

The dies are standard 1-inch hex dies, but the kit is optimized for the proprietary Hex-LOK handle for the fastest performance.

What is the primary material used in the tools?

The tools are constructed from high-carbon chromium bearing steel.

Does this set include a tap wrench?

The set includes a sliding T-handle which acts as the main drive for the taps and dies.

How do I maintain the black oxide finish?

Keep the tools lightly oiled and store them in a clean, dry environment within the PACKOUT case.

Troubleshooting

Die or tap is difficult to secure in the Hex-LOK handle

Ensure the handle mechanism is free of metal chips and debris, then realign the hex base of the accessory before locking.

Threads appear rough or ragged

Verify you are using an appropriate cutting oil and check that you are not attempting to thread hardened material; ensure the tap is being held perfectly perpendicular to the hole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Tool-free bit swapping saves significant time during projects
Durable high-carbon steel construction prevents deformation
Direct integration into the PACKOUT storage system
High-visibility, laser-etched size markings
Resistant to rust due to the black oxide coating

Cons

Not suitable for use on hardened steel or stainless steel
Limited to metric sizing
The specialized Hex-LOK handle may require a learning curve for those used to traditional handles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the set, ensure your workpiece is properly clamped and stabilized. Insert the required tap or 1-inch hex die into the Hex-LOK handle, confirming it is locked securely before applying pressure. When threading, always use a high-quality cutting oil suitable for your specific metal to maintain tool life and finish quality. After use, wipe the components clean of metal shavings and oil residue. Store the set within its designated PACKOUT container to keep components dry and free from debris. Avoid using this set on high-tensile steel, as it can dull the precision-machined edges of the tools.
