Milwaukee 48226330 Comfort Grip Straight Jaw Pliers Set, 150 mm & 250 mm

I have the same problem with both of these pliers. When gripping something, pliers will bind up. From what I can tell, the tongue gets caught in the groove. Squeezing harder tends to result in the pliers slipping off whatever you're gripping...which wouldn't be a big deal but the handles come to a point and really, really hurt when they grab your palm.

I purchased this item about 6 months ago and the jaw on it already snapped. It wasn't being misused or anything...I was removing a braided supply line and it snapped on me. I'm pretty disappointed simply because milwaukee is by far my favorite tool company. I'm just hoping that maybe it was a defect in the specific plier that I received. If you are going to purchase tools I don't suggest purchasing through Amazon I just have a feeling the company who sold it wasn't up to par.

I buy all Milwaukee tools because they’re reliable, but the design on the grip is horrible. I’m a plumber and the exposed grip pinches your hand every single time the jaws slip. So if you buy these be aware of that because my DeWalt friends make fun every time that happens.
