Description
The Milwaukee 49-57-5161 is a metric straight plug tap designed for precision internal threading in metalworking projects. This single-piece tool cuts clean, accurate M12 × 1.25 threads in steel, stainless steel, and other hard materials. The straight-cut design enables smooth entry into workpieces and reduces the risk of tap breakage, making it reliable for both professional shops and serious DIY metalworking.
A metric tap eliminates guesswork when matching drill sizes and thread specifications to fasteners. The plug-style chamfer is ideal for through-hole applications, while the straight flute design suits general-purpose threading tasks. The sharp flutes cut efficiently, minimizing torque and extending tool life so you can complete jobs faster and with greater confidence.
