12" Aluminum Pipe Wrench

Milwaukee 48-22-7212 – 12" Aluminum Pipe Wrench with Overbite Jaw™

The Milwaukee 48-22-7212 is a 12" aluminum pipe wrench engineered for high-torque applications in confined or overhead plumbing environments. Constructed from lightweight aluminum, it reduces user fatigue without sacrificing strength. The tool features a hardened steel jaw set and a precision-machined overbite design to maximize gripping surface on rounded or threaded pipe.

This model includes dual coil springs for consistent jaw adjustment and a tether-ready handle loop for elevated work or tool-drop prevention in compliance with tethering protocols. Its ergonomic handle shape improves user control and reduces hand strain under sustained torque loads.

Key Product Features

• Overbite Jaw™ Design: Provides increased gripping area compared to standard jaw configurations for better pipe engagement.
• Through-Hardened Jaw Teeth: Extended wear resistance and improved bite under heavy load conditions.
• Dual Coil Springs: Enhances responsiveness and durability of the adjustment mechanism.
• Aluminum Body: Reduces overall tool weight for improved handling during overhead or repetitive use.
• Tether-Ready Loop: Integrates with lanyard systems for elevated job site safety compliance.

Technical Specifications

• Overall Length: 12 inches
• Jaw Type: Overbite with serrated teeth
• Material: Cast aluminum body with steel jaws
• Weight: Approx. 2.5 lbs

Usage Considerations

This pipe wrench is designed for contractors performing service and installation work on steel, copper, or galvanized pipe. Its size makes it suitable for 1/2" to 1-1/2" nominal pipe diameters in plumbing, mechanical, and utility applications. Use proper jaw engagement and alignment to prevent pipe deformation or slippage under torque.

Jobsite Advantages

• Lightweight Build: Suitable for extended use and elevated access without excess strain.
• Professional Durability: Resists wear from frequent adjustment and hard pipe contact.
• Improved Grip Geometry: Overbite design ensures secure contact on round and irregular surfaces.
• Tool Tether Compatibility: Supports safe use on scaffolds, lifts, or overhead structures.
