Milwaukee Torque Lock Locking Pliers Kit (5-Piece)

A real improvement, a better mousetrap! These torque wrenches are so muct better that the similar tool(s) I’ve used for years. The toque screw at the bottom of the locking wrench, is flat with a hole in it (red in picture) instead of being round. This makes so much difference in being able to adjust the torque. Just being flat is a great improvement, you can get more leverage with a flat surface than with a round surface. With my previous locking wrenches I know I’ve occasionally gotten out a another set of plyers or another locking wrench to turn the round adjustment knob. That why my adjustment knob is gouged and rough.The hole through this tab gives many times the leverage when you insert a screw driver, the longer the better. Shear genius! In addition to this the 5 tools have different types of gripping claws, two are flat and 3 have rounded center claws, much better for torqueing a nut head, the flat claws are better for applying an even squeese.Buying the set of 5 saves a little money and provides a simple roll case. I’m a sucker for tools which have cases, probably because I don’t keep my tool chest as organized as I should, but I will keep tools together in the cases they came in, so for me this is a bigger advantage than it may be for others.I just donated my old wrenches, something I don’t normally do (but I was running out of space). These are keepers. These torque wrenches, are definatly a step up from the old style gripping wrench with the round knobs. I’m very happy with my new acquisition.

Rock solid, dependable, with new features – Best locking pliers out there. The Milwaukee 5-piece locking pliers set with cloth storage wrap is excellent. Having used numerous locking pliers over many decades, Milwaukee brand pliers are the best. I have had cheaper pliers that break under stress, that quickly rust once wet, that pinch you when they fail, etc. Milwaukee work as intended for years; they are treated not to rust; and have never pinched me. The finish is unique; it is a non-slip but shiny. The set includes both straight and curved jaws. Often, you want or need to have a really tight grip. This is where the new feature on all of these pliers shines. In older days, there used to be a round knob you turned to tighten or loosen the grip. It was difficult to turn that adjustment knob past finger tight or you had to guess on the correct tension prior to closing the pliers. The new Milwaukee feature to fix this is a flat (red) knob at the rear of each of the pliers. In the picture on the box and elsewhere, you can insert a screwdriver to tighten or loosen this adjustment beyond figure tight. You could also use a crescent wrench. None of these pliers have a rubberized or soft-grip anywhere on them. To me, this is an advantage. Often you are working in wet, oily, or high temperature conditions, such a soft-grip would be a hindrance. Clearly in welding, you don’t want a tool with rubber on it, and these pliers are great to hold a part in place. The 7″ straight jaw pliers fit the bill. I have used these pliers to hold copper pipes in an impromptu triangular brace when working to solder together multi-connection configurations on site – two of these will do the trick – the 5″ or 7″ and 10″ curved jaw pliers work here. Not used as often but needed when you need it (like that sheared off shower valve) – the 6″ long nose locking pliers. And for those times where you need to grab or tighten a large nut or similar part – the 10″ max bit curved jaw pliers is the answer. These five pliers will address all your locking pliers needs. Lastly, there is a heavy duty Milwaukee red cloth tool wrap with a snap lock plastic clip. To me, buying a set is a better way to go than owning like two locking pliers and having to run to the store in the middle of a job to get that other one…. Excellent set for the money.

These pliers have been a great addition to my box. The ability to crank them for additional bite has proven very useful. Extremely satisfied with my purchase.

I received my Torque Lock Locking Pliers Kit (5-Piece). The first thing I noticed was the plastic pouch is already broken where the biggest locking tool is. It would have been better to have the case made with all cloth & no plastic. The Milwaukee locking tools are made with a lot of thought & quality. The way the jaws are made they have a lot more locking power. They feel good in my hand. These will work in most shops & garages & anyone would be proud to own them. I would have given a 5 star rating if the pouch that holds the Milwaukee locking tools was made better. It was broken during shipping.

Somebody re-invented the locking pliers. To avoid copywrite/trademark violation I’ll call these Nice Grips. Just when you thought something would stay the same forever Milwaukee Tools re-invents the locking pliers. Instead of an adjusting screw with a knurled knob, this has a paddle with a hole in it to adjust the jaw setting. They have so much confidence in the strength of their product they invite you to insert a rod in the hole and crank this down tighter using a “cheater”. It’s like a bench vise company including a 3 foot pipe in the box with their product. A set of 5, it comes with a high quality pouch for organizing and storage. Different sizes and jaw configurations for locking onto flats or curved surfaces. What a great gift this would make. You could even buy it, gift the torque lock pliers to 5 different people and make excellent personal use of the great storage pouch. Milwaukee tools hits another home run.

NICE SOLID TOOLS WELL ENGINEERED!
