Product Description
Milwaukee 2PC Long Reach Pliers Set
Model Number: 48-22-6542
The Milwaukee 48-22-6542 2PC Long Reach Pliers Set is a professional-grade pliers kit built for the trades that combines two of Milwaukee's 13 in. Long Reach Pliers, the Straight Nose model (48-22-6540) and the 45 degree Nose model (48-22-6541), into a single kit at a kit-discount price. Long reach pliers are essential when standard pliers cannot get into tight spaces, behind obstructions, or down into recessed work areas, and the two-piece set covers both straight-line access and angled reach configurations to handle the widest range of access challenges that mechanics, electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and machinists encounter on the job. Both pliers feature Milwaukee's Deep-Reach Cross Handle design, which delivers a wide jaw opening while maintaining a slim handle profile, letting the operator reach in through small openings and still get enough handle leverage to apply meaningful gripping force at the working tip.
The single-joint design on both pliers is engineered to deliver maximum gripping force compared to multi-joint or telescoping designs that lose mechanical advantage over distance. The jaws are designed with multi-function gripping zones along their length for common applications such as gripping fasteners, holding washers, capturing wires, retrieving dropped hardware, and manipulating small parts that fingers cannot reach. The Straight Nose plier features a 3-1/4 in. gripping jaw for maximum jaw real estate in straight-line approaches, and the 45 degree Nose plier features a 3 in. gripping jaw with the angled head geometry that lets the operator approach work from the side and access components hidden behind brackets, frames, or other obstructions. Both pliers carry a corrosion-resistant black oxide coating that resists rust, surface damage, and the general grime of jobsite work.
Ergonomic handle design with slip-resistant grips provides operator comfort and control even when the pliers are being used at full reach with significant gripping force applied at the tip, which is the worst-case ergonomic scenario for any long-handled tool. The slip-resistant grip material maintains its hold even with oily, greasy, or wet hands. Milwaukee backs the set with a limited lifetime warranty against material and workmanship defects, which is standard across Milwaukee's professional hand tool lineup. Typical applications include automotive engine bay work, electrical panel and junction box wiring, plumbing rough-in and service, HVAC ductwork and refrigerant line work, machinery service and repair, drone and small electronics work, and any other professional application where standard pliers cannot reach.
