Milwaukee 49-57-5178 3/4′-16 NF Straight Flute Plug Tap

With its precision machining and durable construction, this plug tap is expertly designed for threading through holes in a variety of metal materials, including brass, aluminum, and mild steel. The straight flute tap style makes it ideal for the most common threading applications, ensuring you can create and repair threads with accuracy and ease. Its high carbon steel construction, complemented by a black oxide coating, not only enhances the tap’s longevity but also provides excellent corrosion resistance. Additionally, the long-lasting laser etching offers clear markings for ease of use, while the square shank ensures compatibility with standard tap handles and wrenches. For optimal performance, it is recommended to use cutting fluid, as hand taps like this one are specifically intended for manual operation rather than power tools.
