In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Milwaukee's High Carbon Steel SAE NF Plug Tap and Drill Bit Set is built for serious metalworking tasks. This compact 2-piece kit pairs a precision drill bit with a National Fine (NF) plug tap, crafted to deliver clean holes and precise internal threads in solid metals. Engineered from high carbon steel, these tools resist wear and stay sharp longer under the demands of tapping and drilling in steel, cast iron, and other common alloys.

Why this two-piece Milwaukee set is the smart choice

  • Two essential tools in one retail-ready carded package: a drill bit for accurate pilot holes and a plug tap for creating clean, knurled threads.
  • High carbon steel construction provides toughness and edge retention for repeated use in metalworking projects.
  • SAE measurements with NF thread form mean compatible, finer threads that pull together quickly and securely in common repair and fabrication applications.
  • Compact 6.75-inch length supports accessible working in tight spaces and on workshop benches.

Real-world uses and benefits

Ideal for maintenance and repair tasks where you need to restore or establish threads in metal surfaces. Use this Milwaukee set for automotive brackets, machinery housings, exhaust system components, and other steel or iron assemblies where precise, fine-threaded fasteners are required. The NF thread profile helps resist loosening under vibration and offers a tighter engagement than coarser pitches, which is particularly valuable for soft metals and thin-walled parts.

How to get the best results

  1. Drill a properly sized pilot hole with the included drill bit to the recommended depth for the material you're tapping.
  2. Clean out chips and ensure the hole is clear before starting the tap.
  3. Align the plug tap squarely with the hole and advance steadily to cut the internal threads, backing off occasionally to clear chips.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
