They work well solid feel and look

Very well made composed of a rust proof lifetime guarantee . Nice feel on the handle grips and has some nice weight to them, not too heavy or light. I cut some old wire coat hanger up and some 8 gauge wire and went through it like nothing. Great addition to my tool box. Milwaukee hand tools are right up there with their hand power tools. They were a little stiff to operate with one hand at first but after a few (real quick) opening and closing of the handles, it was free enough to work with one hand. I highly recommend these pliers as they also feature a crimper for ring and fork electrical connectors. Very nice pliers indeed. Made in USA.

I am an electrician and decided to give these lineman pliars a try. They are not bad but they do get dull much faster than my klein. When cutting you can feel the metal flexing. The price is nice. $20 bucks less than klein

The Milwaukee 9 in. High-Leverage Linesman Pliers with Crimper is great for when you have to do electrical work. The pliers can grip up to 16mm line and having the added crimper is a bonus. Also has a fish tape puller to make some of your work a little easier. The pliers do offer rust protection and a limited lifetime warranty. A must have for the tool box.

As a maintenance mechanic I’ve always called these side cutters but I know that they are also known as “linesman pliers”, too. These by Milwaukee are excellent quality. They are a high quality steel with good grips/handles and-like the rest of my Milwaukee tools-I expect them to last a long time. I use these side cutters primarily in residential electrical work like in installing or replacing switches, receptacles and light fixtures. I also use them in making lamps. Because of this I am working with smaller gauge wires like #18, #16, #14 and #12. I like the grips on the handles and the size of the cutters-big enough to give you leverage but not so big so as to be unwieldy for me. The crimper is handy if you use electrical terminals. I hope you find this helpful.

This Milwaukee 9 in. High-Leverage Lineman’s Pliers is exactly what the name implies. This pliers effortlessly cuts #2 copper wire used in residential electrical services. The cutters have a carbide cutting edge. A complete tool with many handy and useful features for the tradesman electrician and licensed electrician. It can ream the inside diameter of pipe up to 1 ½ inches. The best feature in my opinion is the fish tape (metal snake) puller. This is a great pliers and will last and is manufactured by a trusted name in tools. I have been in the trade my lifetime and this is first time knowing and using the fish tape puller incorporated in this plies. A feature which enhances this useful tool.

I got these pliers to replace my old pair of linesman pliers made by Kl**n. These pliers are better. The handle contour fits well in the hand allowing maximum leverage when cutting thick wire. The cutter blade is large enough to accomodate 10-3 gauge wire with ease. The crimper makes a very secure joint when crimping on spade connectors, stranded or solid wire, the connectors won’t easily pull off. The nose of the pliers is designed to ream out metallic conduit after cutting to remove burrs and as an added bonus there is a gripping area just behind the crimper that securely grabs metal fish tape to allow for a stronger pull without damaging the fish tape. The rubber handle allows for a firm grip, even with dirty/sweaty hands.

Like those Milwaukee’s Linemans pliers very much! Made to serve and make your work pleasant!Perfectly made! Great materials: high quality metal (has “rust resistant” and “Iron carbide” claims) and excellent textured coating on grips (looks solids, palm should not slip during the task execution).Will cover me on very basic tasks: grip, cut, break, and crimp.Happy DIYing!

Well crafted set of pliers. Nice size for achieving good leverage. Sharp cutting edges. Crimper works great on insulated or non-insulated wires. The cross hatch machine surfaces are great for gripping without slipping. These are made from forged steel, not stamped metal. Rust proof coating. Limited lifetime warranty makes for a great set of pliers at a good price point.

I didn’t want to like them, but can’t really find any fault with them except for the fact that they’re made in China. I haven’t cut any large aluminum wire yet, but copper 10/3 awg and smaller aluminum cut well with these pliers. They do a decent job of reaming/deburring conduit and have stood up well to using them as a hammer to bash knock-outs out of metal boxes. The crimper works well, though I hardy used it. Both the end section and the section behind the crimper grip and pull a fish tape well. The black paint scratches easily.Personally, if you don’t need the crimper I’d get the Channel Lock or Kleins for around the same money just because they’re made in USA. Just my personal bias there. Comparing this pair to another decent Chinese made pair with similar features, Tekton, the Milwaukee is better, but also cost a fair bit more. Any of the four above will serve you well. My wife tried all four and actually preferred the Milwaukee while I’m pretty much indifferent.

I’m a huge fan of quality hand tools and this newest release from Milwaukee doesn’t disappoint. The handles give you the leverage to cut through thick wires and screw. The crimper at the bottom of the pliers head crimps wires or terminal ends well. My only gripe and this is merely a preference is the dipped grips. Since Milwaukee had come out with the newer version of the non slip grip I prefer that over the dipped version. One advantage of the dipper version is if the grips get worn out it is simply to dip yourself a new set for the pliers.

Wow these are well made and rust resistant as far as I can tell. I left in the rain and no rust after several weeks. They are solid and sturdy with no wiggle and a tight snip built into it. They have just enough teeth at the edge that I have enjoyed these immediately. The rubber handles seem well made also and do not slip whatsoever unlike my old one.

Way better than first generation and of milwaukee linesman’s by long shot.

Let me just start by saying I am very picky and particlauar what tools I use on a daily basis… That being said these pliers could be the best quality and most study pair I have ever owned. I highly recomend them. The jaw for the crimp is very solid and helps make a perfect crimp every time. The long rigid steel but comfort plastic coated handles make this tool a pleasure to use. They out did themselves when they designed and built these. I highly recommend these to everyone!

Milwaukee 48-22-6500 9” High Leverage Lineman’s Pliers with Crimper – These linemen’s pliers have been well designed as well as well manufactured…They have (2) functions not normally included on linemen’s pliers…(1) function is the addition of an insulated and non-insulated crimping nib and groove located directly behind the pivot hinge, allowing the crimping of insulated and non-insulated terminals, (2) function there are serrated jaws located directly behind the cutting jaw intended to grip metal fish tapes, making pulling metal fish tapes much easier…These pliers make it far easier to install non-insulated copper crimp sleeves on ground conductors since there isn’t a need to have an additional crimping tool…I tested these pliers installing non-insulated copper crimp sleeves on 14, 12 and 10 gauge bare copper ground conductors…These pliers performed as indicated, intended and expected without any problems…

Milwaukee 9 in. High-Leverage Lineman’s Pliers with Thread Cleaner – In the early 1970s I bought a pair of Klein lineman pliers that were great until a couple of years ago when they disappeared. I replaced them with another, cheaper brand that were ok at best. I have since donated those pliers and now carry this Milwaukee brand and couldn’t be more satisfied. They are comfortable to use for cutting cable and wire, nails, wire rod, etc. Because I often work outside in wet weather I appreciate the rust protection; I had to wire brush and spray the cheap pliers occasionally to clean the rust off and keep them working smoothly. One feature Milwaukee added, that my old Klein pliers did not have, is the handy crimper for putting terminals or crimp-on connectors on wires and conductors of a power cord.

I’m an electrician. I bought these 3 years ago, and I still have it, and use it daily. I’m satisfied with the price I paid, and with the product.
