Key Features
Long Reach AccessThe deep-reach cross handle design keeps the profile slim while extending your reach, so you can grab hoses buried behind components instead of tearing more of the machine apart. More Control on HosesSingle-joint grip force gives these Milwaukee hose grip pliers solid holding power without feeling sloppy in the hand. That matters when you need to twist a stuck hose loose without damaging nearby parts. Built for Repeated UseForged alloy steel construction, black oxide corrosion resistance, and slip-resistant grips make this set a practical choice for shop work where oil, coolant, and grime are part of the job.
Overview
The Milwaukee 48-22-6563 3PC Long Reach Hose Grip Pliers Set is built for mechanics, maintenance techs, and anyone who regularly has to remove or hold hoses where standard pliers come up short. This is a hose grip pliers set designed for gripping and removing hoses in tight spaces. Model Number: 48-22-6563. With three included hose grip sizes, this set gives you a more controlled way to work around cramped engine bays, equipment housings, and other packed-in assemblies.
What makes this set matter on the job is the combination of reach and control. Milwaukee uses a deep-reach cross handle design that opens the jaw wide while keeping the tool profile slim enough to get into narrow access points. The included pliers cover 5/16 in, 1/2 in, and 3/4 in hose grip sizes, which gives you a useful spread for common service work. If you spend time fighting springy rubber hose, stuck lines, or awkward clamp locations, the longer layout helps you get to the work instead of working around it.
The single-joint design is another practical advantage. It gives you strong grip force with better feel, so the tool stays predictable when you are pulling, twisting, or repositioning hoses and other round materials. Milwaukee also built multi-function gripping zones into the jaws, so these are not one-trick pliers. They can also help with certain fasteners and general gripping tasks when you need long reach and a controlled hold.
From a durability standpoint, this is a serious hand tool set. The pliers are made from forged alloy steel for strength, and the black oxide coating helps resist corrosion in shop conditions where moisture, chemicals, and grime are common. Slip-resistant grips and an ergonomic handle shape matter more than they sound on paper. When your hand is oily or you are reaching in at an awkward angle, a secure grip is the difference between controlled removal and busted knuckles.
This set is also easy to understand and easy to put to work. There is no learning curve, no platform lock-in, and no special accessories to buy. You get three 13 inch long reach hose grip pliers sized for common hose work, and each one is intended to solve the same problem from a different diameter range. That makes the set more useful than trying to force one tool to do every job badly.
Who should buy it? If you work in automotive service, fleet maintenance, small engine repair, industrial maintenance, HVAC service, or general equipment repair, this set makes a lot of sense. It is especially useful for anyone who regularly works around coolant hoses, vacuum lines, and other connections tucked behind brackets and covers. For occasional users, it is a specialty set. For techs who deal with hoses every week, it is the kind of set that saves time fast.
Reach Into Crowded Engine Bays
These pliers are made for the spots that normally turn a quick hose job into extra disassembly. The long profile and cross handle layout help you work around brackets, covers, and surrounding components without losing leverage.
- 13 inch overall tool length gives added access compared to standard pliers
- Deep-reach cross handles maintain a slim profile in tight service areas
Grip Hoses Without Fighting the Tool

- Single-joint grip force improves control during hose removal and repositioning
- Multi-function gripping zones help with hoses, fasteners, and other round objects

Pro Tip
Use the plier size that matches the hose as closely as possible, then grip the hose close to the fitting and rotate it first before pulling. That breaks the bond with less effort and reduces the chance of tearing up the hose surface.
