Those expensive Milwaukee pliers are actually made in Germany. They have the "Solingen" marking on them. Solingen is a famous German steel producing town in the Ruhr valley. They are imported from Germany and sold under the Milwaukee brand in the USA. The "Milwaukee" logo appears to be only printed on them. The 1970s pliers have CRV marked on the handle, that usually means Chrome Vanadium steel, a very strong steel alloy.

When measuring correctly, the nail must always be at the same distance from the axis of the pliers. The small deviation makes the big difference in the measurement. Of course, all nails should have the same diameter and hardness. Only below these processes can one properly condemn the tools. PS: The crush test must also be carried out in the same work step, i.e. the distance between the axis of the tongs and the press cylinder must always be the same during the measurement.

Milwaukee. Is a US brand. but the pliers shown in the video were produced in Solingen, a city in Germany. It even says on the tongs. Its name is the only city in the world to be protected as a trademark. A novelty that Solingen owes to its cutlery industry: more than 600 years of blade and metal craftsmanship characterize the cityscape. So it is not a US pliers. But a Solingen on which Milwaukee printed its name. Nice greetings from Germany. And thank you for liking our tool. I myself like US trucks better than German cars😁.

Interesting video. As an Australian, I would have to say that, while most of the brands tested are available here, they are not the most common. I suspect that the Chinese offerings are sold here by major hardware and automotive accessories chains under their own brand names. The best known Australian brand is Sidchrome, I have two of their 160mm combination pliers. One from the 1970s with handles dipped in PVC as insulation, one from the 1980s with fancy moulded grips and chrome plating. The earlier model is much thicker and made of harder steel. Unfortunately, many Sidchrome tools are now made in China. I would love to see a comparison with an Australian made Sidchrome, Swedish Bahco and a quality Japanese brand such as Hozan. I would expect the Bahco to be at least as good as Knipex. Unfortunately, I don't have a massive hydraulic press in my garage, so I'll have to be content with speculation.
@allenjenkins79475 ай бұрын
For this test to be truly equal the press needs to apply pressure the same distance from the pivot point on each tool. Otherwise short handle tools will seemingly get higher numbers due to less torque at the handle. Remember Torque = Force x Distance. Or in this case, Force = Torque / Distance.

There is a comment that went somewhat unnoticed, in which a Polish said that "Yato" manufactures all the tools in China, and that the best from Poland is "Coval" or "Kuźnia". In good faith I believe in his words; because in the test there is a little cheating by presenting an American pliers that is actually German. Greetings from Chile.

Nice discussion here, sometimes in addition about the impact of the position of the press intender on the handle. But if you compare the results of the destroiying test, the question is. What value do we get with a load difference between 282 to 453 kg, a load which nobody can intend with the hand on the grippers. Even by extending the grippers with two tubes of apr. 20 - 25 cm it is not possible to get such load into the pliers. The only reasonable test is the cutting test, but as mentioned, with such a big nail and a load of minimum 120 kg, this is also not realistic because no one can bring up this force with the hand. Such plier cutters are limted to smaler steel wire maybe up to 2 mm and copper wire. Important for the quality is the cutter sharpness and even more the durability by a correct heat treatment.

When measuring correctly, the nail must always be at the same distance from the axis of the pliers. The small deviation makes the big difference in the measurement. Of course, all nails should have the same diameter and hardness. Only below these processes can one properly condemn the tools. PS: The crush test must also be carried out in the same work step, i.e. the distance between the axis of the tongs and the press cylinder must always be the same during the measurement.
I'd like to see some Sheffield steel (English) ones for comparison. Either modern or vintage (pre-1980s) would have been interesting.
I have always found Sheffield steel to be the finest quality, have kitchen utensil that are more than 50 years old still going strong. British quality
Solingen costs the same as the other german pliers at $25 each, but it became $45 because of the “Milwaukee” ink slapped on it.
Just like Harley Davidson.

The Milwaukee is obviously a rebranded NWS Combimax that is made in Solingen, Germany. The Knipex and the NWS are both at 16 Euros here in Germany. Charging almost twice the price is incredible.
That's always been my problem with Milwaukee. Nice tools but ridiculous price on their name alone.
The distance from the hinge to the nail significantly changes the mechanical advantage/leverage of the tool and changes the amount of force required to be applied to the handles in order to cut the nail. The distance should ideally by the same in all comparison testing.
Less the absolute distance but the relative position on the cutting blade. If the design has a mechanical advantage this should also show over just how sharp the blade is. Especially since you can just take a file and sharpen them yourself.

Got there first this is really important as it could change the results by a massive amount
@@benco1085 yup! And another factor someone else mentioned is that the same thing applies to the nail. It also needs to be kept at a constant distance from the pivot!

Also I pointed out (having used linesman pliers for 20+ years) that putting a nail or wire farther back towards the pivot will decrease the force needed to cut something. A few of the tests the nail was in different positions and farther forward will increase the force needed.

I think the lesson here is unless you have a way to apply 1,000 pounds of pressure to a pair of linesman pliers, get vintage pliers at a yard sale or swap meet for $2.
Yeah right!? Old stuffs were made to last… New stuffs just compromise quality for a lower price. Anytime I browse people’s yard sale, I always look for good old stuff. They don’t make them like that anymore! Or you need to fork out $45 for a pair of pliers!
@@ChieflauNYC yep! I have the 1970 pliers. They were mu grandpa’s. I didn’t even have to pay $2! I try to use at least one of his tools on every project I do.
I have a blacksmiths anvil in working order from 1790. It's still close to 56 rockwell hardness after 230 years of service.
They all will last forever as long as you don’t put it under a hydraulic press😂😂😂 that is why they call it hand tools🤦🏻♂️ specifically designed to be used by your hands not on a freakin press😫
@@ChieflauNYC "compromise quality"? Maybe if you're using the pliers to prop up your car, but most people use pliers with their hands, and none of these pliers would break in your hands. So I think it's worth it to compromise its lifetime under a hydraulic press to have a lower price
very very interesting video . lovely and amazing test
Thank you. What a shame the strength of my hands are limited. Are the milwaukee pliers made in Solingen ? Is that Solingen the knifemaker city in germany or US ? Solingen and google ... a lot (nearly all) german premium tool brands are produced in the area Solingen and Remscheid.
Like the test but anyone who has used side cutters (linesman pliers) knows that putting the nail or wire etc farther back in to the cutter makes the cut easier. If the same nail is in different positions on the different tools cutter, it will effect how much force is needed to cut whatever it is your cutting.
Wanted to write the same, but it's already here. As well lever arms were different. Thanks man.
That's absolutely true. However it makes no difference if the cutting part of the plier gets damaged or not, just on the lever
The lever arms must be facored in to come to a fair comparison. Basic maths actually. Force*distance so you dont need to redo the test.
@@tamas7555 It basic physics, not maths.
@@tamas7555 the best way to test it is on the edge of the straight of the arms before they angle. And pressure should be made at an angle for maximum efficiency. Like a 21 degree angle. Like you put pressure on pliers if it is too strong to cut the less energy costing way, where the arms are edging and press straight down. Everyone can understand the pliers are way less effective there to cut though stuff and easely break if you put some muscle into it.
Wow, the "Milwaukee" pliers is actually a German NWS Combimax just with different grips and the Milwaukee logo slapped on it. I can buy that exact same model for about 25 dollars here in Switzerland, but since Switzerland generally has higher prices than the rest of Europe, I'm sure you can buy it for even less in the European Union. That margin is ridiculous..
You see on the "Milwaukee" the Name Solingen thats a region of Germany this one is Made in Germany too
In germany about 17 Dollar
@@DrFeger There is only one Milwaukee tool in the video so the OP is obviously talking about the same one.
@@krashd you dont get it, he said that the milwaukee has a made in solingen on it and thats a city in germany
Yes the Milwaukee is Made in Germany you can get it for 17 Doller. The German from Knipex is the 12 Doller and the cheapest Knipex you can get. The NWS is 17 Doller. Prices in Germany
Milwaukee. Is a US brand. but the pliers shown in the video were produced in Solingen, a city in Germany. It even says on the tongs. Its name is the only city in the world to be protected as a trademark. A novelty that Solingen owes to its cutlery industry: more than 600 years of blade and metal craftsmanship characterize the cityscape. So it is not a US pliers. But a Solingen on which Milwaukee printed its name. Nice greetings from Germany. And thank you for liking our tool. I myself like US trucks better than German cars😁.
Interesting video. As an Australian, I would have to say that, while most of the brands tested are available here, they are not the most common. I suspect that the Chinese offerings are sold here by major hardware and automotive accessories chains under their own brand names. The best known Australian brand is Sidchrome, I have two of their 160mm combination pliers. One from the 1970s with handles dipped in PVC as insulation, one from the 1980s with fancy moulded grips and chrome plating. The earlier model is much thicker and made of harder steel. Unfortunately, many Sidchrome tools are now made in China. I would love to see a comparison with an Australian made Sidchrome, Swedish Bahco and a quality Japanese brand such as Hozan. I would expect the Bahco to be at least as good as Knipex. Unfortunately, I don't have a massive hydraulic press in my garage, so I'll have to be content with speculation.
For this test to be truly equal the press needs to apply pressure the same distance from the pivot point on each tool. Otherwise short handle tools will seemingly get higher numbers due to less torque at the handle. Remember Torque = Force x Distance. Or in this case, Force = Torque / Distance.
yes, but ig they were nearly same distance, also torque = r X F, its cross multiplication so
i was gonna say
@@eugene9661 leverage can alter results. And they never go above and order some matco or snap on stuff..
which goes some way to explain how I broke a pair of 3 foot long (approx) manual cable shears many years ago when chopping up some cables that in hindsight might actually have been a tad too much for them - no hydraulic press required!
@@oksowhat There is only on direction of applied force so it would simplify to what the OP said.
For amateur of all amateurs I'm very happy to go with Chinese $3 dollar shop plier. No way I can apply 200KG+ force on it, looks the quality is actually better than I expected. But of course if I'm a Pro then it is a different story.
Why is it a different story then?
Side cutters aren’t designed to cut 4mm nails. Totally agree for ‘amateur’ / diy / infrequent use budget pliers are probably sufficient, however if you’re an electrician using them day in day out got for the best / most durable you can afford.
@@jojojo9240 Maybe company pays
@rigamortice I am sure this will help make Britain great again.
@@jojojo9240 If you are someone who works for a living with these tools everyday, it´s ok to spend more in quality. But if you are an office employee who just want a plier to hold a nut or cut some wire at home, the cheaper one will be enough. Just that.
when i saw that right the milwaukee is german too or is there a solingen somewhere in the us where those are build
Köszönöm
You can’t test this way, ITS WRONG the distance from the nail to the shaft should be the same on all models and also the distance from the press to the shaft should be the same
basic physics
Great test! Thank you for your video stressing all of them! Just a complement, Milwaukee is a rebrand of NWS, a German company and made in Germany.
The distance to pushing point from the axis should be same in the all test. Did you consider effect of “moment” or “leverage”?
I still use my 1970 pair! My go to
Milwaukee ... stamped "Solingen". The tool maker town of Germany. Btw. some damage on the cutting edge are resulting of the plier tongues snapping close against each other after cutting the nail. You don't want the snapping counter force down your wrist. 4 mm steel is needing a dedicated heavy wire cutter. The costs of injuring your hand/wrist is higher than buying the proper tool.
I have a pair of heavy duty Klein side cutters from the 90's and as much hell as I've put them through cutting random things that needed to be cut, they've outshined any cutters i have. Still sharp, still in perfect condition. They're about $40 at Home Depot for a pair of the same side cutters.
a skąd wiesz na jaką odległość ustawić gwóźdź od kombinerki przy danym kącie rozwarcia, który jest inny w każdej marce??
On the Milwaukee USA (?) pliers you can read, Solingen. That is a city in Germany. In that city there is a factory that produces the Knipex plier blades. You can connect the dots yourself....
The cutting test would make sense if you placed the nail as far back at possible. Every mm off on the side cutter can make tens of kg's of difference
I will use the 3$ one. Cheap and functional. I don't care about the cutter sharpness.
clearly you don't need it often
Would i be cutting thick nails with a pair of pliers? No of course not! ok for cutting thin nails or wire
To my fellow friend who was also made in the '70s. Good show.
There is a print named "Solingen" on the back of the Milwaukee tool. Solingen is a german city. Is it made in Germany?
As an electrician i cringed when the first subject to be cut was a freaking nail for 2 reasons: -wire cutters are made to cut COPPER WIRES. Yeah some can cut nails too, but you'll notice a reduction in effective wire cutting quite quickly if you do decide to use it for things it wasn't intended to do. -there are so many better tools to deal with nails in whatever situation. It is like using a regular pair of scissors to cut down a tree. You shouldn't and you might get through a tree eventually, but both you and the scissors are worse off.
I bet youre real fun at parties.
@@mcal9320 its not a party here...
As an asshole in concrete, they do a lot more than tie up junction boxes. They'll cut steel wire, steel mesh, tie wire, remove nails, and a many more fun and games.
im more concerned with the direct view of sharp nail side that could 100% penetrate your eye/cam or other parts.
Why does that matter? This is already a pointless video because no one is gonna accidentally break their pliers by applying 200 kg force on the handles.
Best American-Made lineman's pliers are Klein J-2000, but they weren't tested. And I think those Milwaukees are made in Germany, at least that's what the stock number shows
Solingen is a Town in Germany! It is better known for Knifes! "Die Messerstadt Solingen"
Soligen -The city of Blades
Klein is founded by a German immigrant, so the design is based on German-made models
Watching the destruction of the 1970's pliers was like watching the end of the movie "Ole Yeller" with the tears rolling done my cheeks 😭
fr the 70s model, use the slot over the plier. It's made for nails or steel wire. I'm sorry to see this option is no more available on modern pliers.
The lever arms were different for each test. So it wasn't scientifically accurate. Nevertheless, German quality tools are in a class of their own.
Exactly no comparable tests
If he had used expensive Polish tools and cheap German tools, the result would have been completely different. The German tool should work six times better to be profitable, but it's not.
中国没有同样价格的
AKCHOOWALLY
Agreed, fundamental to load required for failure.
Not sure if this was an accurate test because 1) the nail didn’t look like it was put in the same place in each pliers and 2) the distance between the center of the jaw pin to the center of the press shaft looked different for each pliers. The distance between the end of a lever and where the fulcrum is can make a huge difference in the amount of force required to move the lever.
Verissimo
Just another test that is inaccurate, well to a degree. As for sake the best tool was the 1970 model. You are right but the quality of the alloy and thicknesses (amount) of metal used plays a role as well.
Moral of the story- China products are cheap and uses low quality material with no guarantee. Boycott China!! 💀🙏 -Voice from Taiwan
Ofcourse it's not accurate I'm sure a 2 dollar china to a 45 dollar "USA" isn't the same. It should at least be the same price if not country. It's not accurate at all to compare them.
There is a comment that went somewhat unnoticed, in which a Polish said that "Yato" manufactures all the tools in China, and that the best from Poland is "Coval" or "Kuźnia". In good faith I believe in his words; because in the test there is a little cheating by presenting an American pliers that is actually German. Greetings from Chile.
Definitely more exciting than the last tv thriller 👍
i used to have these Finnish made pliers somewhere from the early 1900s and I swear i could cut 6 mm nails no problem hand forged by a skillful blacksmith in the ages of peak tool making

Milwaukee produces some things in Solingen, Germany (as stated on the plier itself)

Thank you to China, the country that makes beautiful products for us at a very cheap price❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
All about moments of force, the comparison should have been made with hydraulics resting on the levers of all pliers with same distance from the fulcrum. Same goes with the nail used as load. I think the data is not that accurate as it looks.. but intersting video nonetheless ☺️👍
Yeah, not at all accurate! And the Milwaukee being servicable afterwards? Maybe as a garden tongs, certainly not as pliers.

Creo más bien que no observaste bien el área transversal de la parte que se vence y rompe. El grosor en esa parte que se corta es muy muy pequeño en comparación a las otras pinzas, sí se llega a notar el grano pero hay que poner mucha atención. Velo en cámara lenta. Es aún más sorprendente ver que una pequeña área transversal soporta lo mismo que otras con mayor área transversal.
Interesting test. But in my opinion if all the pliers are at different price points, it would be mildly inappropriate to specify which countries they were from. And the fact that you didn't put the nail in the same position for each test just renders the outcome of the tests flat out worthless. Milwaukee one is from Germany as well btw.
Boom line is that anything made in China is worthless

You can tell from the break point which metal grain indicates the highest quality. In 1970, quality was even more important than quantity.
@KZhead Commenter Good point. Poor quality has always been around. Though I´m not sure overall. There were no home depot shops with chinese trash offers back in the 70ies. It was more normal to repair something and not just dump and rebuy things. Maybe mantality was more quality friendly. And people asked a pro to do the job.
If you use the same price to buy the same tools, China is still the most cost-effective!
@@user-ge8dn8sc4n Yes, I personally find tools made in the Republic of China (Taiwan) to be of very high quality. However, in my branch of precision engineering, tools made in Switzerland are the actual standard... high-quality products require the best tools and materials without compromise...
That unbranded pliers from an early 70's were made in West Germany. Pliers that didn't have the name of the brand on them were made of a less quality steel believe it or not. That is what a cheap pliers would be back then in DDR. Yet they are almost as good as a brand new Knipex and Milwaukee. I see them a lot on a flea markets here in EU.
Ok so who else knows someone who can break these cheap ones with one hand and has got a new found respect for that person
I spent many years welding pipe and you cut alot of tig wire doing that. 316L 5/32" stainless tig wire will let you know if your side cutters are any good. The best pair I ever had as far as cutting with less hand applied pressure were a pair of Heavy Duty Craftsman. They lasted about 6 years until one of the jaws broke off and by then Craftsman no longer made them the same. What they called their new heavy duty side cutters were trash and I went back to my old Klein J-2000s, which is what the majority of tig welders use.
I would have liked to see more consistency in the placement of the nail. Just 1 mm forwards or backwards will have a huge impact on the force needed to cut the nail
N*m 라 거리가 길이가 조금만 바뀌어도 토크값이 증가할테니 모든 공구의 거리를 같게 해서 측정해야지 이런 방식으로는 납득할 수 없습니다.
That would be more useful
Was thinking exactly the same.
Placing the nail closer o further from the pivot point makes a lot of difference. The closer, the less strength you will need.
Why am i watching this video? So mesmerising...
I would love to see some pry bars, including the Milwaukee pry bars because they claim the I beam design won't bend, so when they do reach that failure point are they going to snap(which seems like the worst thing a pry bar could do when failing)
the "american" product called "Milwaukee" does not come from the USA. It also comes from Germany, from Solingen to be precise, and has the ISO standard 5746, which was also developed in Germany.
The one from the US is actually from Germany, it can be worth mentioning considering its quality. It stamped “solingen” in the metal.
in comparison to weight an price is knipex the overall winner - as always! Try Gedore and Hazet too, they are also forged tools from Germany.
Nice discussion here, sometimes in addition about the impact of the position of the press intender on the handle. But if you compare the results of the destroiying test, the question is. What value do we get with a load difference between 282 to 453 kg, a load which nobody can intend with the hand on the grippers. Even by extending the grippers with two tubes of apr. 20 - 25 cm it is not possible to get such load into the pliers. The only reasonable test is the cutting test, but as mentioned, with such a big nail and a load of minimum 120 kg, this is also not realistic because no one can bring up this force with the hand. Such plier cutters are limted to smaler steel wire maybe up to 2 mm and copper wire. Important for the quality is the cutter sharpness and even more the durability by a correct heat treatment.
There are a couple of people in the world that can generate 120 kg++ of pinching force with 1 hand. I bet if they extend the grippers that they can get something similar to those numbers.

Las pinzas de los años 70's, si se fijan bien, en la parte que se vence y rompe, es mucho más delgado (el área transversal de corte) que todas las demás pinzas. En otras palabras: con menos grosor proporcionaba la resistencia suficiente para ser funcional. Increible!
