Milwaukee Elec Tool 48-22-3420 Curved Jaw Locking Pliers

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELEC TOOL 48-22-3420 is a 10-inch curved jaw locking plier built around a Torque Lock design that delivers faster setup and increased locking force compared to standard locking plier geometry. The thumb screw is engineered for improved hand force leverage, and a screwdriver through-hole in the adjustment knob allows additional torque input when needed. The body is forged from alloy steel for maximum structural durability. Hardened jaws grip bolts, nuts, pipe, and irregular stock with consistent holding force. A rust-resistant finish is applied to extend tool life in wet or corrosive job site conditions. This tool ships in a package quantity of three units.

The 48-22-3420 is suited for mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and general trade applications where a reliable locking plier is required. The curved jaw profile maximizes contact pressure on round and hex stock, making it effective for clamping, holding, and turning tasks in tight spaces or high-torque situations. The Torque Lock adjustment mechanism reduces the number of thumb screw rotations needed between grip settings, which improves efficiency during repetitive locking and releasing cycles on the job.

Key Features

• Torque Lock design enables faster jaw adjustment and higher locking force
• Screwdriver through-hole in thumb screw provides additional torque input
• Forged alloy steel construction for maximum durability under heavy use
• Hardened jaws for superior gripping power on bolts, nuts, and round stock
• Rust-resistant finish reduces corrosion and extends tool service life
• Curved jaw profile maximizes pressure points across a variety of fastener shapes

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose curved jaw locking plier suitable for mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and fabrication trade applications requiring a 10-inch locking plier.

Installation Notes

Locking pliers of this type are a hand tool requiring no power source or fastener installation procedure. Adjust the thumb screw to the appropriate jaw opening before applying clamping force. Do not use locking pliers as a substitute for properly sized wrenches on torque-critical fasteners. Inspect jaws and adjustment mechanism regularly for wear or debris that could reduce grip performance.
