Milwaukee 49-57-5189 1/8′-27 NPT Straight Flute Taper Tap

Engineered for precision and durability, this 1/8″-27 NPT Straight Flute Taper Tap from Milwaukee Tool is an essential tool for creating and repairing clean, accurate threads in a variety of metal materials, including brass, aluminum, and mild steel. The black oxide coating not only provides corrosion resistance but also contributes to the longevity of the tool, ensuring that it remains reliable through numerous threading applications. With a tapered design, it allows for a gradual start, making it easier to cut threads in harder materials, while the straight flute style is perfect for the most common threading needs. Additionally, the square shank is compatible with standard tap handles or tap wrenches, facilitating ease of use, and the long-lasting laser etch ensures clear markings for accurate operation. For optimal results, it is recommended to use this tap alongside cutting fluid.
