Kozlira hemming handle plugs & bolts kit for Tapco PRO 14/19/50/Maximum — stainless bolts & pull pins

Kozlira 11398 Hemming Handle Plugs with 3/8-16 x 2-1/4" bolts and 11397 0.25 x 1.25" pull pins are replacement parts built to restore secure, precise handle action on Tapco PRO 14, PRO 19, PRO 50 and Maximum siding bending brakes.

If your Tapco brake handle feels loose, wobbly or won’t lock properly, swapping worn plugs, bolts and pull pins is the fastest way to get back to accurate hemming and bending. This Kozlira kit bundles the two most common service parts — hemming handle plugs and pull pins — plus heavy-duty stainless bolts, so you can complete the repair yourself in minutes without ordering multiple components separately.

How do these parts fix a loose or misaligned handle?

The kit replaces the worn plug and fasteners that let the handle move on its pivot, restoring the original fit and reducing play. Using corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware ensures long-term tightness and repeatable handle positioning during repeated bends and hem operations.

• Includes 2 hemming handle plugs sized for Tapco PRO series brakes
• Two 3/8-16 x 2-1/4" stainless bolts for secure fastening
• Two 0.25 x 1.25" pull pins (11397) to replace the detent pins

What tools and steps are needed to install the Kozlira replacement parts?

Installation is straightforward and designed for do-it-yourself repairs. You’ll remove the old plug and fasteners, insert the new plug, and tighten the new bolt and install the pull pin to lock the handle in place—no specialist technician required.

• Basic hand tools: wrench or socket for 3/8-16 bolt, punch or small mallet for pin removal
• Typical replacement time: 10–20 minutes per handle
• Includes the plug and pins so you don’t need multiple orders

Are these parts compatible with my braking tool model?

This Kozlira set is engineered to match Tapco accessory dimensions and fits listed PRO series models. It’s intended specifically for Tapco PRO 14, PRO 19, PRO 50 and Maximum bending brakes that use 11398/11397 style handle hardware.

• Confirmed fit for Tapco PRO 14, PRO 19, PRO 50 and Maximum
• Replaces OEM 11398 hemming plugs and 11397 pull pins
• If unsure, compare existing bolt (3/8-16 x 2-1/4") and pin (0.25 x 1.25") dimensions

What makes Kozlira parts durable and worth replacing now?

These replacements use premium stainless steel fasteners and reinforced plugs to resist wear, corrosion and loosening under frequent use. Upgrading worn handle components prevents poor bends, inconsistent hems and the need for future replacements.

• Stainless steel bolts resist rust and maintain torque
• Precision-molded plugs keep handle alignment stable
• Bundled pull pins avoid sourcing separate small parts

Who this is for: This kit is ideal for contractors, siding installers and DIYers who own Tapco PRO-series brakes and want a quick, cost-effective way to restore handle stability. Buy the Kozlira 11398 & 11397 set when your handle play affects hemming accuracy or when pins and bolts show corrosion—an inexpensive maintenance step that prolongs your tool’s reliable service life.
