Dewalt Accessories DWA1450 Metric Tap and Die Set

Product Description

The DEWALT ACCESSORIES DWA1450 is a 17-piece metric tap and die set designed for creating and repairing threaded fastener connections in metal. Built from high-carbon steel, the set delivers the hardness and edge retention needed for precise thread cutting in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. A patented core design reduces the risk of tap breakage during use, which is a common failure point on standard sets. At 1.4 pounds, the kit is compact enough for a tool bag while covering the most common metric thread sizes encountered on mechanical and HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, and structural assemblies.

This set is suited for trade professionals who need to chase damaged threads, tap new holes, or fabricate custom threaded connections in the field or shop. Typical applications include repairing stripped bolt holes in equipment housings, fabricating mounting hardware, and restoring threads on pipe fittings, brackets, and mechanical components. The metric sizing makes it directly applicable to equipment manufactured to international standards, which is common in commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and imported plumbing and electrical equipment.

Compatibility

Designed for use in metal threading applications requiring metric thread standards, consistent with equipment and components manufactured to international specifications.

Installation Notes

Tap and die work should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with thread standards and cutting techniques. Always use appropriate cutting fluid when tapping metal to reduce heat and extend tool life. Secure the workpiece firmly before threading to prevent movement that can cause tap breakage. Follow all applicable shop safety practices and wear eye protection during use.
