Milwaukee Tool 48-22-6532 Convertible Snap Ring Pliers

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 48-22-6532 is a convertible snap ring plier designed for installing and removing external retaining rings in a range of mechanical assembly and service applications. The tool features fixed 90-degree tips with a 0.038-inch tip diameter and handles external ring diameters from 0.39 to 0.98 inches. An all-metal anti-slip dial allows fast, tool-free conversion between internal and external configurations. A black oxide coating provides corrosion resistance for long-term use in shop and field environments. At 5.789 inches overall length and 0.26 pounds, the plier is compact enough for tight workspaces without sacrificing control.

This plier is suited for HVAC technicians, plumbers, machinists, and general maintenance trades working on motors, pumps, shafts, and housings that use external snap rings in the 0.39 to 0.98 inch diameter range. The ergonomic double-dipped grip reduces fatigue during repetitive ring removal and installation tasks. It is well-suited for both bench work and on-equipment service where access space is limited.

Installation Notes

Snap ring pliers should be used by qualified trade professionals familiar with retaining ring service procedures. Always relieve system pressure and de-energize equipment before disassembling components that retain snap rings. Ensure the tip diameter is properly seated in the ring holes before applying force to avoid tip slippage or ring ejection. Eye protection is recommended when removing spring-loaded retaining rings.
