Milwaukee Tool MT550 9" Lineman's Comfort Grip Pliers (USA)

The MT550 has a reaming head built into the handle end sized for 1/2-inch through 1-inch conduit, so for typical EMT work in that range you can debur right at the pliers instead of switching to a dedicated reamer. Anything larger than 1-inch conduit still needs a separate tool.

Yes. The MT550 9-inch lineman's pliers are made in the USA with USA sourced materials, which is the detail that matters if you are buying against a Buy American or domestic-content requirement on a government, school, or institutional job.

The MT550 is tether ready, so it can be attached to a lanyard for elevated work where a dropped-object policy applies. Lineman, tower, and scaffold crews are the usual reason that matters.

There is a fish tape puller built into the MT550, so you can grip and pull tape during wire pulls with the same pliers you are already holding. It is a 9-inch lineman's plier, so you also get the leverage length for tough cuts.

Milwaukee builds this 9-inch lineman's plier with either comfort grip or dipped grip handles. The MT550 is the comfort grip version, with a molded cushioned handle rather than the thinner dipped plastic coating. If you want the slimmer dipped handle instead, that is a different model number, so order by the specific model rather than by the description.

Order by MPN MT550. That is Milwaukee's 9-inch lineman's plier with the comfort grip handle, US-made, and it is a single configuration, no handing, size, or finish to specify.
