Milwaukee 8 in. Dipped Grip Diagonal-Cutting Plier with Angled Head

Love it way cheaper than Klein’s

These are well-crafted pliers with pretty comfortable grips. They are a little stiff to open, but that may ease-up after more use. They cut wire very effectively, but I noticed that they don’t allow wire to be cut flush with a surface. I used them to cut some brads that were protruding from a 2×4 and they left a stub of wire above the surface. This was because the cutting edges are tapered on both edges (the inside edge and the outside edge). The taper on the outside edge prevents flush cutting (see photo). Aside from this, the pliers are quite nice and I expect them to last for a very long time.

Ok, so to start I wasn’t sure I would like these pliers but I have got to where they are my go to pick. The dipped handles are just what is needed to get the job done and they have a good grip that isnt your textbook slick handle. The length of the pliers are just right for a large hand and the angle is perfect for when you have a tight spot to get into. The cutters are sharp and very good metal so that you can cut up to 1/4″ brake lines very easily and with little effort. If I had to name something about them I don’t like its that the tip is very blunt and thick so its not the best for digging things out. All in all I am very happy with the pliers and highly recommend them. enjoy the pics as you can tell I use them often in my shop.

8 IN. DIPPED GRIP DIAGONAL-CUTTING PLIER WITH ANGLED HEAD This is a great product. It is very comfortable in my hand. It’s got a very good luck to it. Catch through staples and nails and wire very well. It is very well-made and start he give me the look I was looking for in a great pair pliers. I am very happy with this project. I highly recommend it to all my friends and coworkers.

I have been using these cutting pliers to cut fence wire and clip the ends off of 8d nails in a demolition project. They cut easily and so far nothing has dulled or broken the blades. The handles give good leverage. The blades open and close smoothly. The angled head is a knuckle saver when cutting close to surfaces. The blades cut all the way to the ends for nipping into corners. Very durable construction, good finished metal surfaces, and comfortable dipped handles.

Rugged and strong – easily cut an 8-penny nail (2.5″). The long, strong grips help provide great leverage. I used these both to cut some old antenna wires (remember when we used antennas on the roof?) then cut off an 8D nail when it was easier to cut than extract. These are a high-quality addition to my tool bag! Klein tools have always been high quality, professional grade – more than I deserve as a home DIY guy, but very reliable & rugged.

They snapped on me while I was working today . I need to replace them .

Whether cutting wire or cotter pins, there is a great amount of leverage in these pliers for their size. They have a sturdy feel and great cutting jaws. I did not feel like the metal would get damaged when cutting off thicker cotter pins for removal. The angle of the jaw is just right for cutting nearly flush to a flat surface when cutting pins or wire that is protruding. This is now the go to tool for angle head cutting jobs. Only gripe, I don’t like dipped handles as much as the formed ones.

These are awesome because they come in handy in the home. I needed to use them last time for some instrument repairs. I tend to have to cut my guitar strings and other things like that and I found these to be most helpful and efficient. I wanted to use them on my next project in the house regarding fixing my gate. It cuts really good and I like that they’re easy to clean.
