Pretty Beefy Strippers

Comments about Milwaukee 6 IN 1 Combination Pliers:
These strippers are amazing. They're beefy, strong and well built. The lack of a "rivet hinge" makes this tool a real winner.I make use of this tool many times every day, even if I don't strip a single wire. The needle nose is very strong and works fine for knockouts and reaming smaller pipe (1/2").My only issue is the locking mechanism. It's a plastic slide that tends to 'let go' whenever it decides. If you can get used to just leaving them open and unlocked, they'll make a great addition to your tool pouch.

Excellent but could be improved
By Neal

This product really intrigued me and demonstrates Milwaukee's innovative designs and promising foray into hand tools for professionals. The integration of a good needle nose and stripper is great. I was especially glad to see the reamer / file placed on the outside of the needle nose. This is something I've waited years for. Unfortunately the file hashes are perpendicular to the needle nose and poorly ream 1/2 and 3/4 EMT. The file hashes should be crossed at an angle like a normal file and possibly finer. The intent of reaming EMT is for a smooth surface to not scar or create friction across wires when pulled. The other more problematic design are the short insulated handles. I know it's marked "do not use on live circuits" and that is not recommended but as professional electricians we do it all the time. And for a professional electrician's tool this needs to be considered with a longer handle (that is otherwise very ergonomic / comfortable) and / or create a raised top near the metal part of tool. Similar design should be part of any linesman. Klein (see Journeyman) and others recognize this. For this risk / reason I can't use your tool for daily wiring because of the short handles and my fingers making contact with metal while manipulating live wires. Stripping up to #8 stranded would also be nice but understand this might make it bulky. It's an otherwise impressive and versatile design that must be limited to wires that are not energized. Which isn't always the case for most electricians no matter what the rules are.

The new industry leader!!
By Tominphoenix
from Phoenix, az
Absolute best strippers out there. I have been in the electrical industry for over 12 years and have never been happy with klein, craftsman, or snap on strippers. The are absolutely amazing, I like them so much I bought every guy in my shop a pair. And I dont even own the company!
Milwaukee comes through......again!

Apart from the obvious,y (being made in Taiwan...)the only drawback is the "plastic" tool lock. It has A VERY generous cutting area for the wire, and the needlenose part is a very good size also. it is really, really comfortable to use all day long and I generally don't like the "all-in-one type of tools, this really is a stand-alone tool for electricians. I almost always use AWG 12 AND I am more than happy to use this tool alone. Got mine in Mexico!
