Milwaukee makes good quality tools. I needed something that would protect the surface and the smooth jaw protects what you are working on. This tool has a limited lifetime warranty, rust protection, dipped grips, and a good weight. My first project was replacing a shower head in the upstairs bathroom. The twelve inch plies made it easy for me to get the job done.

I prefer these ones to crescent wenches. If you don’t oil them and keep them out of water they do rust like the blue brand does, but it’s still strong and durable tool steel, so that’s what matters.

Solid tool. Jaw opening wide enough for all toilet and urinal work I’ve done since.

very good and the quality, highly recommend.

I like these pliers. It is easy to see they are made strong. The design is good. I have an another type of plier that slips out of position to easily moves to another size grip. It waist time and creates aggravation. This kind of channel is better. It has a good grip material to hold on to when working. The jaw is smooth when working of something that scratches would not be good. It is a good tool.

I used them on chrome flush valve lids. They worked pretty well but the newer auto flusher tops piece that the pliers grab ahold of are not as deep. The pliers slipped off.

Milwaukee 12” Smooth Jaw PliersI’ve been looking for a leverage advantage smooth jaw pliers for use on nonferrous and plastic hex fasteners and these 12-inch Milwaukee’s have been found to fit the bill. This is the type of tool I might use every day, so it’s nice it comes with a Lifetime Warranty. The pliers are made from forgings and appear precision machined. A rust preventing protection is also applied that gives the tool a matt grey finish. The handles are dripped in a red colored soft plastic material making them very comfortable to use. All in all, they are attractively heavy duty and clearly a professional grade tool.So these Milwaukee’s are now my go-to pliers for brass fittings and those made of plastic type materials (see photos). The jaws open to a maximum of 2-inches, and the smallest parallel is ¼-inchwide. There are seven intermediate opening adjustments along the tool head. Another useful feature of these adjustable opening size smooth jaw pliers is pressing in spring pins, especially into round shafts, or bearings into tool plates (see photo) when a hammer and a punch is not appropriate.

Bought the 10” & 12” pairs to work on chrome finish plumbing and they they have done a good job. No marks on my flushometer.

Great pair of pliers. I have a lot of Milwaukee brand tools and they really hold up well and the same is for this pair of pliers. The 12 inch smooth jaw pliers have a dipped grip for comfort and ease of use. Fits great in the hand and prevents slipping out of hand when using it. When using it on smooth surfaces it doesnt leave marks. Worth the price, just a great product.

At first I was a little concerned about the gripping power with smooth jaws, but on a flat surface they do just fine. The advantage of the smooth jaw is it does not leave marks on soft metals like pliers with ridges. While I would not have these for my only pliers, these a re a great addition to my pliers and serve a purpose. The handles are comfortable and the size is good for all round use.

These pliers are very heavy duty. There are about 7 different channels. The maximum the jaws open square are about 2.75” with the minimum about .25.” They have the typical rubberized/plastic coating on the handles. These have come in handy for working on a shower faucet changing out washers or other components. Typically for this type of job regular channel locks were used along with and an old rag to keep from marring the smooth finish on the shower components. These were testing loosing the same shower fixture. The jaws were open to just about the max. The jaws were too smooth and kept slipping. I don’t really blame the pliers. It just is what it is. Used a an old rag to help get a little stronger grip. It just results in less chance of marring the smooth surface. Overall the pliers are of good quality. They are a nice addition to a tool set.

I’m a big Milwaukee fan. I own a lot of their tools, both 18 volt and 12 volt, along with a lot of hand tools. I have to say that with this one, I was very disappointed with its quality. The pliers were difficult to adjust because of the loose fitment. The grooves on both sides don’t line up easily making it difficult to open and close. I had to tinker with this quite a bit to adjust because of how loose the fitment is.

I got these pliers the other day specifically because they were exactly what was needed to tighten a new fixture in my newly remodeled bathroom. Most people would use a pipe wrench or some other large tool, but these were exactly the right tool for the job. They fit the fixture just right on the second notch and have a really nice dipped handle that makes for an easy grip. All in all I like the pliers and will definitely re-use them when doing some more plumbing.

I used these pliers on electrical and plumbing fixtures that can not look all scraped up.Has good grip and tork.

Never had a set of smooth jaw pliers, but for items that have “sides” like large nuts, these work great. They don’t tear up, scratch/scar the edges of chrome nuts, exposed plumping or anything else you don’t want to damage. The handles have a good grip and make gripping easy. You can tell these are well made and will last. I would not recommend this for other applications where a rigid grip is needed.

Good for fine finish plumbing work.

Pretty good set of pliers but not perfect…………………………………………………This is an unbiased review that is unaffected by the fact that I received this product for free. As proof of impartiality, just click on my nickname and see the average of the ratings I have given over 200 reviews to date.Normally when tightening larger dress nuts, I have used adjustable wrenches to keep from marring the surfaces. But sometimes the size needed (over 2″) would result in using a huge wrench along with the increased possibility of damage. This tool will usually solve that problem since it opens to about 2.25″ maximum nut size. This is the max opening when the jaws are still parallel to each other. The minimum opening with the jaws parallel is about .25″.Since these pliers are specifically to be used to avoid scratching the material, I found it odd that one edge had a lip on it that would certainly damage the surface. That is a quality control issue. I used a small file to remove the lip and rounded the other 3 edges as well just in case.The package states the grips to be “dipped”, but since the grips were loose on the handles, I don’t really see how that is possible. In any case, the grips are fairly tight and I could only slide a grip about 1/16″ inch (see photo). There is a recess in each handle to help keep the grip from sliding off, but I wonder how much that will help in the long term.The pivot pin is a fixed rivet, so there will be no tightening of the fit as the tool wears.This tool is made in China.Summary: Good, but not perfect.

The quality receives high marks as is consistent with Milwaukee’s reputation. I did find some rusting after only minimal exposure to water, but it came clean easily and a good reminder to lightly oil any steel tool. The machining of the tool itself lends substantiation to the word “perfection”. It is without flaw.The jaws have a nice machined smooth surface for chrome plumbing surfaces. I would however like to see more variables in the adjustment to make it easily adaptable to a wider variety of fittings. As the photos will show, it was spot on for some chrome fittings, and not so perfect for others. This caused the wrench to want to slip off the nut without a heavier force on the grip. It would have a 5 star rating if not for this one issue I found.

A decent pair of pliers with rubberized grip. They seem to be well made, but perhaps a slight notch below Milwaukee’s other hand tools I own. That being said, they are pro grade and will get the job done. The machining is precise, including the grooves at each jaw setting. There’s a little bit of play between the jaws, but that shouldn’t be a problem once they’re seated on the workpiece. I prefer Channellocks offering to this pair, but Channellock only makes a 10” smooth jaw plier with up to 2” capacity, whereas these will grab a pipe, sleeve, fastener, or fixture over 2-1/4” in size.If you need the extra 1/4” or so, and appreciate the extra leverage from 12” pliers, I can recommend these to you. The price is reasonable for what you get, a decent quality hand tool from a reputable brand with a convenient lifetime warranty.
