Just got my new Klein all purpose plier and did an comparison video with my milwaukee plier.
Good little review on some great electrical pliers.
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.
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.
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
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
I have a pair. If they would crimp automotive connectors they would be perfect in my opinion.
What gauge are you needing to crimp.There are some nice hydraulic crimpers around
Nothing that big. Just basic 12-16 gauge wire.
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
Nice comparison.

Their 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
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
Thanx for sharing….good comparison…really similar..I have the milwaukee pliers…I very much like them
Never used a pair in any name brand. still don’t know if I would wanna switch from the multiple sets most of us carry to a multipurpose tool like thoses…
