Built around a fixed 90-degree tip measuring 0.07 inches in diameter, this tool handles external rings from 0.39 to 0.98 inches with reliable grip and precision. The all-metal anti-slip dial allows quick conversion between internal and external ring work without fumbling. At 7.054 inches overall length, it fits naturally in hand during tight-space service work. The black oxide coating provides corrosion resistance for long-term use in shop and field conditions. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors reach for this tool when servicing shaft assemblies, pumps, motors, and gearboxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pliers is suited for residential and commercial mechanical service work where retaining rings secure components on shafts or in bores. Common applications include motor shaft snap ring removal during HVAC blower assembly service, pump impeller disassembly, and general mechanical equipment repair. The ergonomic double-dipped grip reduces hand fatigue during repetitive removal and installation tasks. Fixed tips eliminate tip-swap downtime when the correct angle is already matched to the job at hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFixed 90-degree tip at 0.07 inches diameter covers external rings from 0.39 to 0.98 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll-metal anti-slip dial for easier, more durable conversion between ring types\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide coating resists corrosion in wet or humid service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-dipped slip-resistant grip reduces hand fatigue during extended use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eErgonomic handle design sized for one-hand control at 7.054 inches overall length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLimited lifetime warranty coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with external retaining rings ranging from 0.39 to 0.98 inches in diameter.

Always relieve system pressure and de-energize equipment before disassembling shaft assemblies or pump components. Wear eye protection when removing retaining rings under spring tension, as rings can release suddenly. Confirm the correct tip size and angle match the ring being serviced before applying force to avoid tip or ring damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Convertible Pliers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Snap Ring Pliers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fixed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.07 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Diameter Range (External)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.39 to 0.98 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.054 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ergonomic, Double-Dipped Slip-Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulated\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-Sparking\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide Cutter\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.37 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: Limited Lifetime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MILWAUKEE TOOL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 48-22-6538\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MILWAUKEE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694339785010,"sku":"48-22-6538","price":47.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/62f1cd10d881743df8c0deb141ee573a.jpg?v=1788323332","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/milwaukee-tool-48-22-6538-convertible-snap-ring-pliers","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
