Customer Reviews for Milwaukee 10 in. Torque Lock Straight Jaw Locking Pliers

Both good and bad with these. I miss the lever release as a secondary safety buy these sure are easy to use quick. So it's a tradeoff. Very convenient size

Bought a pair of these to hold the damper closed to the frame of an RTU while working over a cold storge warehouse to mitigate the risk for water to drop down into the return and ruin product/create a slipping hazard. These things are so good I only needed one. The grip is slip resistant, the thumb screw is a lot easier to deal with than what the competition has, and the screwdriver hole on it is a nice bonus feature. These will last me much longer than any all-metal pliers would!

Good price! Soft handles.

I expected more, first use, removing a damaged round head phillips screw, the teeth disappeared where I gripped, and then straight on the nose rounded out. You must see the pics to understand. My last two tools purchased from Milwaukee are a big disappointment, always more expensive, I assumed they were better, but not.

Lost special shower head tool, this needle nose locking pliers was the ONLY TOOL that I could find to remove the shower head! Now I can use it for many other things like install or remove cotter pins! Did I spell that right?

This tool allowed me to replace my old shower head with a new one. The 7" curved jaw was able to grip the old shower head with the adjustable locking pliers perfectly. The solid grip on the handles made the process safe to prevent slippage during the rotation. This tool has impressed me enough to add to my Packout system. Overall impression: * Curved jaw designed for pipes * Non-Slip grip on handles * Attractive design * Limited Lifetime Warranty * Matches entire Milwaukee tool collection * Low price * Exceptional value Recommended: Yes

Easily to use and robust

I also had the same problem, I do not recommend it. it did not work a week

First time I took it out to the junkyard and held a bolt while I unscrewed a stuck nut, part of the pliers fell off. Do you think I can glue it back together? How about duct tape? Because if I want warranty service I have to mail these pliers back to a factory service center instead of taking it to a local store. Makes re-evaluate my Milwaukee purchases. Most of my other Milwaukee tools are more expensive corded and cordless power tools so I can understand mailing them in but if you are buying hand tools, I'm not sure Milwaukee is the right company to buy from.

I use this tool for automobile service <but unfortunately the used material is of very low quality, in few use the tool is broken without any execive use

Great set! Great price! Comfortable! Strong!

This is a great set! The tool quality is outstanding and no toolbox is complete without them. The two different sizes cover a very wide range of uses.

The lock long nose locking pliers with double grip lets you reach bolts in hard to reach places. It also lets you grab bolts that are damaged with a good grip.

The tool does exactly what it was built to do, it is a locking long nose plier and it has found a place in my tool box. I've used this tool for a few of the projects around the house and have never had any issue. It has a nice grip and has a great overall quality. Will not need to ever buy another locking long nose plier. Great tool to get the job done!

The dang screw broke! I guess I torqued a little hard with my 12" screwdriver. That's what you get with cheap china steel... Shoulda stuck with my old pair

I'll keep my review simple and straight to the point: * High quality, great materials, pro-grade. * Comfortable grip, feels good in the hand, non-slip with sweaty hands. * Compact design, fits anywhere, easy to use in tight spaces. * Locks well with the curved jaw. * Plastic adjustment may appear flimsy but is actually very strong. Love the through-hole design that allows using a screwdriver to tighten. * Locking pliers are great for welding, cutting, holding stuff while doing something else, etc. Recommended!

These Milwaukee long nose locking pliers are the highest quality locking pliers I have ever used. The grips are thick and very comfortable. The adjustable bolt in these pliers turns very smoothly and is made from quality metal so it should last for years to come. You will not be disappointed with these locking pliers.

My friend Ken kept his van running with Locking Pliers. Broken battery cable clamp? He put Lock-Pliers on and drove that way for years. Broken throttle link brace? Lock-Pliers! So here's to you, Ken: Lock-Pliers on my tractor battery clamp. I can't say the brand-name here, but we all know who has been the Big Name in lock-pliers for many decades. Good product; so good that there are copies everywhere. Some about as good, some not so good. Now comes Milwaukee with their 48-22-3510. Soft red grips are a nice touch. Flattened screw adjuster works fine, and now you can HANG your locking pliers. The classic release lever is replaced with an internal double-joint which really does work better (and is kinder on your fingers). Build quality looks excellent. Feels good in the hand, and on the job. These lock-pliers are, in my opinion, better than the original Big Name that has been around for 90 years. Note that the hole isn't really for a screwdriver adjustment, that's silly. You don't adjust locking-pliers when locked, you adjust while loose and then the screw turns easily. As far as I can tell, the hole is so you can hang your Milwaukee Torque Lock on a nail.

These locking pliers are one of the most useful and handy tools in my box. These have a lifetime warranty and built to take it. The Torque Lock design allows for faster set-up, giving you more control and leverage. If you've used locking pliers before, you can see where the Torque Lock is going to be easier to use. Others won't allow you to torque down like these will. If you need to get a grip, get these. Your grip isn't as strong as it is with these.

The quality of the handles is unmatched. The length of the screw mechanism is great meaning the locking jaws spread widely. Have had this for 3 months. Yes it meets expectations.

Great tool easy to use. Will recommend it to all.

Bought and used ( lightly) one time and they broke.

I broke my regular and small size traditional vice grips trying to take off some sway bar links. I still didn't have the sway bar links off so I went to buy new vice grips and saw these. I almost didn't want them at first since forty bucks for a pair of vice grips seemed steep but I'm really glad I did. The torque lock end really helped me get it just that little bit tighter to grip the link as I turned the rusty bolt. Had my problem resolved in 10 minutes whereas I had been working on it for several hours trying to get traditional pliers to really bit down on the smooth side of the link.

They’re awesome, they did what I wanted them to do, and did it well. Thank you.
