DR99 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Good little review on some great electrical pliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.C Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Was thinking are doing more with different wire sizes and bolts, but did not have them on hand at the time. Its easier to film an video with examples of the pro and cons then just typing it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Nice video. Can you use the non serrated part on the Milwaukee pliers for crimping connections? I mainly do auto work and I am leaning towards the Milwaukee pliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.C Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 For crimps connections I would use an stand-alone tool like a ratcheting or klein crimper. I have an video in the forum on their result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Ok thanks. I will pick up the Milwaukee set soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.C Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Ok thanks. I will pick up the Milwaukee set soon.Cannot go wrong with them, if you look in the hand tools section there is an thread about crimpers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I have a pair. If they would crimp automotive connectors they would be perfect in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.C Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 What gauge are you needing to crimp.There are some nice hydraulic crimpers around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Nothing that big. Just basic 12-16 gauge wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Good review KC! I considered those Milwaukee pliers years ago but the price and bad reviews about the lock kept me away. Great to hear they fixed it and now it's metal. I might just get them some day thanks to your review. I'm surprised there's no built in hole for making loops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to hear they fixed it and now it's metal. I might just get them some day thanks to your review. I'm surprised there's no built in hole for making loopsTheir design is to use the back side of the bolt cutting for wire looping. I also got lucky they were on-sale at homedepot for 19.99, regretting not picking up more now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Also forgot to mention the Milwaukee offers a lifetime warranty on all their hands tools and if you but from hd they will honor the warranty in store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
