Milwaukee has announced a new line of Made in the USA hand tools, including cutting pliers and screwdrivers, which are now available for pre-sale. This is the second round of their PIPELINE releases, and it’s packed with exciting innovations designed to address common frustrations across various industries. While the new tools won’t be available until early 2023, Milwaukee has given us a sneak peek into what’s coming.
Made in the USA
Milwaukee is proud to announce that this new line of cutting pliers is manufactured in the USA, specifically in West Bend, Wisconsin. They are also committed to sourcing nearly all of their raw materials domestically, which is a significant step forward for the company. Milwaukee is confident that this new line of American-made hand tools will outperform top competitors like Knipex, Klein, Wiha, and Wera, who are known for producing some of the best hand tools in the world. While Milwaukee’s current imported hand tools will still be available at a mid-range price point, the USA-made models will offer premium performance and durability.
Cutting Pliers
Cutting pliers are essential tools for electricians, power utility workers, and other tradespeople. They are used for cutting wire and cable, grabbing, twisting, bending, or pulling materials, reaming, crimping, cutting bolts, removing knockouts, and more. Milwaukee’s new line of cutting pliers addresses common pain points such as cutting capacity, blade and tooth life, and ease of use.
Key Features:
Best Leverage Possible: The handles are designed to provide maximum leverage, making difficult cuts easier.
Comfortable Grip: The handles are shaped to reduce effort when cutting through wiring and tough materials.
Curved Design: The curved design supports your hand at the front and back, allowing you to apply more force for challenging cuts.
Laser-Hardened Edges and Teeth: The cutting heads feature laser-hardened edges and teeth to prevent wear and tear, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Press-Forged Steel Body: The durable press-forged steel body ensures the tools remain effective and functional for years.
Smooth Open and Close: The pliers are designed to open and close smoothly from the first use, eliminating the annoying break-in period and ensuring consistent cuts.
Available Styles:
Milwaukee is launching six new 9” Lineman’s Pliers, six new diagonal pliers, and two new long nose pliers. The lineman’s pliers come in both dipped grip and comfort grip options, with features like crimper and bolt cutting or thread cutter options depending on your application.
Dipped Grip Pliers: Cost-effective and offer non-slip protection from the metal body.
Comfort Grip Pliers: Designed for maximum comfort, especially when applying a lot of force. They help prevent blisters and provide extra padding in targeted pressure points.
