Milwaukee mt500-2 Cutting Pliers Set 2 Piece Usa

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE mt500-2 is a 2-piece dipped grip cutting pliers set manufactured in the USA for professional tradespeople. The set includes a 9-inch Lineman Dipped Grip Pliers and an 8-inch Diagonal Cutting Pliers, both built with an optimized pivot point to maximize cutting leverage on demanding materials including ACSR, hard wire, and soft wire. Laser-hardened cutting edges extend service life and maintain a sharp edge through heavy use. Both tools are engineered for smooth open-and-close action from first use, requiring no break-in period. Licensed electricians, linemen, and general tradespeople are the primary users of this set.

The Lineman Pliers in this set include a reaming head sized for conduit from 12 inch to 1 inch and a fish tape puller, making them a multi-function tool for electrical rough-in and service work. The Diagonal Cutting Pliers handle precise wire cutting tasks in tight spaces. Both pliers are tether-ready and feature a split-ring hole, supporting tool-tethering programs on elevated or restricted work sites. This set suits residential and commercial electrical work, utility applications, and jobsite conditions where cutting performance and tool retention matter.

Installation Notes

These pliers are intended for use by licensed electricians and qualified tradespeople. Always de-energize and lock out circuits before cutting or working on electrical conductors. Inspect cutting edges before each use and remove from service if chipping or deformation is present. When used in elevated work environments, attach the split-ring hole to an approved tethering system in accordance with site fall-protection requirements.
