I picked up the Milwaukee diagonal pliers a few weeks ago, and I can say that they are everything that I expected of them to be. Cutting cable, wire, nails, bolts, pulling nails and staples are a piece of cake tasks for this tool....... And.... there's allways a "but" because of the nose designed for nail pulling, i can't use them for precision tasks such as cutting wires in electrical boxes. Anyway I love these pliers. I think I'm going to pick up the 6in1 combination pliers next.
