Product Description
Milwaukee 10 in. Smooth Jaw Pliers
Model Number: 48-22-6550
The Milwaukee 48-22-6550 are 10 in. Smooth Jaw Pliers — professional-grade tongue-and-groove adjustable pliers with smooth jaws for gripping and turning polished, plated, and finished plumbing fittings, fixtures, and mechanical components where serrated jaw surfaces would mar, scratch, or damage the finish. The 10 in. handle length provides substantial mechanical leverage for tightening larger supply connections, drain fittings, fixture lock nuts, and medium-to-large plumbing hardware that the compact 12 in. version's somewhat greater handle length handles but the smaller 8 in. alternatives cannot engage with adequate force for professional plumbing and mechanical work. Smooth jaw pliers are the required tool whenever a visible chrome fitting, stainless fixture connection, polished faucet nut, or decorative supply line hardware must be gripped and tightened during installation or service — the smooth face distributes clamping force evenly across the jaw contact area rather than concentrating it at serration peaks, protecting the finish without sacrificing the firm grip needed for proper tightening.
The tongue-and-groove multi-position adjustment accommodates a wide range of fitting, nut, and pipe sizes across the full jaw opening range in a single tool without requiring different wrenches for each size — the jaw opens smoothly to the correct setting for the fitting diameter and locks there to maintain consistent grip during the turning operation without the jaw slipping to a different opening width under load. Milwaukee builds these pliers to professional durability standards with handle material and pivot construction that maintain smooth adjustment and consistent gripping action through the daily professional use cycles of plumbing and mechanical finish work. Smooth jaw pliers see daily use in residential service plumbing, commercial plumbing fixture installation, and HVAC equipment connection work where visible finish protection is a professional obligation throughout the installation.
For rough-in work where finish protection is not required, Milwaukee's serrated jaw pliers provide more aggressive gripping on threaded fittings and rough pipe — see Milwaukee's complete plier lineup for all sizes and jaw configurations.
