Poisonfangs85 Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Just noticed your avatar. That's funny! Used to work with a guy from Wisconsin. They're a different breed...A different breed for sure. I live in northern IL about 30 mins from the Cheese curtain. My wife just took a job up there and the stories she has just in the past couple weeks makes me shake my head. Haha no offense I love Wisconsin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punda1991 Posted May 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 These are the new ones not the older models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeldfabNeil Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I have one the locking pliers an eight of locking c clamps. The new millwakees are better then my Irwin ones I bought just a few monthes before the millwakees came out.The fact I can put n a screwdriver in the end to tighten versus just a knob makes them a lot better.

StrippedScrew Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I was in the market for new pliers a few weeks and and I went to the local hardware shop and I compared the Milwaukee and the Knipex, I had to spend the extra to get the Knipex they are super well made and great to use Their Pliers Wrench is my next buy.

Nalu Rash Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 does anyone have the Milwaukee wire stripers i saw them today and want to pick them up? Sorry PeteW, I just read this post. I bought the Milwaukee Strippers and they work great. They feel really solid in your hand. I actually smiled after using them to strip some wires because I was so used to using old hand me downs. They can also cut 6-32 and 8-32 screws to length. They can ream conduit and have a nice needle nose plier shape. You should pick them up, you will not be dissappointed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicholasShetley Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I have the cobras and they have an insane amount of grip. I haven't tried the pliers wrench though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmiller383 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 The pliers wrench is a pretty handy tool. I do a lot of handyman type work over at my girl friends parent's house and it's nice not having to take a whole set of wrenches with me whenever she needs something fixed. On a separate note I picked up a pair of the milwaukee 6 in 1 Linesman pliers on clearance at my home depot a few weeks ago for like $12. I've been using them a lot at work while running some data cabling and so far I like them a lot. The grips are a little weird to get use to at first but they are pretty comfortable in my hands now.

Taylors Tools Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I want to get my hands on some more of their hand tools, I have their wire strippers, 11 in 1 and straight cut tin snips. Ive been using them for over a year and no complaints except for the tin snips grips are just held on with double sided tape and one grip keeps falling off. But besides that I cant complain! I cant wait to get more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
