Milwaukee Deep Reach Needle Nose Pliers

Today we look at the Milwaukee 48-22-6542 long nose pliers.

[@TokyoScarab]

Milwaukee missed an opportunity in naming these. The straight ones could be called the Deep Reach and the angled ones could have been called the Deep Reach Around 😂

[@FunkFPV]

😂😂

[@LonersGuide]

Yeah, but then the government would never buy them.

[@FoolOfATuque]

For going deep in dark holes.

[@Mad_Catter_]

I just picture a powder coated version with the name laser etched on the length now.

[@Marandal]

lol that wouldve been genius

[@mikeoxlong91111]

A potential beef between Funk and Mr Subaru is not how I expected 2024 to start 😂

[@chrisjones6002]

I'm all for it. Mr Subaru is condescending sometimes so he bugs me.

[@hachi-rokuperformancegroup3987]

Mr Subaru is a dbag that thinks he knows everything but he is a joke and nobody seems to like him other than his followers

[@Bosnian.Spartan]

Can't wait for diss tracks again

TEAM FUNK

[@ttk-stephenfox1507]

Mr Subaru likes to shit on harbor freights cheaper ratchets had a Pittsburgh professional 3/8s swivel head for 9 years and I use it all day every day. So I agree with funk.

[@pablorodriguez4530]

Finally someone else that can't stand MrSubaru 😂 happy new year Funk!

[@2chipped]

Have double X blue point kit, multiple no-name hemostats in different lengths, regular and pistol long snap-on kits,long angle only knipex, and Mac long hose pullers. 2006 I used long angled for pulling spring clamps (1/4) hose off carbs on Suzuki outboards, still the best tool for that job. For everything else,and most X's use angled. 1st choice locking hemostats, 2nd pistol grip is more comfortable, 3rd knipex (fantastic for cabinet installs), and last are double x... When nothing else will work. For my small hands these are in the maybe want list. Great review including the pipe holder convention😅

[@JuniorJunison]

Yeah I like the hemostats too, they've worked for most things that normal needle nose pliers won't work on

[@KHALABEEB]

Daily Driver here, use em every day to remove butt-plugs that went too far in the old lady...good tool, doesn't rust, so far👍

[@FunkFPV]

LoL 😝 👍🏻

[@AJGFwas_already_taken]

I have a set from Harbor Freight. Used them twice in 6 years. The only reason to buy HF.

[@khaitomretro]

Alligator haemostats are great for holding, or recovering, fixings in confined spaces.

[@andyhenderson441]

Red empire is amazing. Nice one!

[@fullsavage2743]

I have a set I got from good ole harbor freight lol I use it almost everyday I work on commercial kitchen equipment and a lot of the pilots assembly’s and wiring is buried within the unit so they help out a ton I may get a set of those Milwaukee ones to test out. I been waiting for this video lol

[@markvolk4032]

The camera set up was great keep up the good work take care my friend

[@FunkFPV]

Thanks, I’m actually having more trouble with the sound. Weird because I thought that would be the easy part considering I’m using the same mic 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@1mansho674]

100% agree on the Subaru sap. Watch his old videos and he appears humble and appreciative of his views. His current condescending vibe makes him unwatchable. Got too big for his britches.

[@FunkFPV]

Sad thing is he isn’t even that big 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@jimfarris9671]

Thank you. I always enjoy your videos a lot of times. It may save me money from buying the wrong product. Thank you for doing that For us.

[@bladeoflucatiel]

American brand tools made in vietnam means you guys actually won right?

[@unwired1281]

Yup same with Japanese cars. Always amazed how many patriots drive those while flying the American flag. I know the lame assed argument well they’re made here. So were Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles.

[@FunkFPV]

I think we’ll call it a draw 😁

[@projectS10ls]

Ya, I can't stand that subaru guy either lol

[@iwontliveinfear]

I can't think of any situation where those would be better than a telescoping magnet.

[@FunkFPV]

Yeah… they’re one of those things where you find a need for them as you go.

[@leftyeh6495]

There's a lot of materials that aren't magnetic. 😂 I was fishing some titanium baffles out of a cleaning solvent the other night. Reached for my magnets hanging above my bench, shook my head, and went digging for long needle nose. 😂

[@johngaltline9933]

Also very useful when you actually need to be able to pull on something, or hold something in place when any amount of force is applied. I just use cheap ones from HF, but they do the business if you're trying to pull a clip out of something, or push the clip back in. Try changing the air struts on a Town Car with a magnet and see how far it gets you.

[@simonlang2001]

Soon as you said that some dude came up with watch Mr Subaru for tool reviews 😂 but only get two lines came up with same as u did

[@sixpest]

Those look like they are made with quality Im glad it does not have some large thick grip that gets in the way so that a big plus

[@Tallguy203]

Hopefully Milwaukee doesn’t make hamburgers. Some guys won’t eat anything else

[@chrisjones6002]

Their fanboys are annoying.

[@Tallguy203]

@@chrisjones6002 it’s not the fanboys for me. But the fierce loyalty for any company. Most companies want to sell you something , no matter what it is. I choose tools based upon lifetime warranty and if it works for me not just I have to buy it.

[@chrisjones6002]

@@Tallguy203 I agree. It's one thing to like a brand but it's a little different to swear by everything that a brand sells no matter what. I couldn't justify the cost of owning nothing but Milwaukee tools since I'm a DIYer not a pro.

[@Tallguy203]

@@chrisjones6002 I’m a truck mechanic. I like lifetime warranty when possible and do buy high end sometimes. But like most folks I’m working for MY family and not trying to collect tools just to have them. Milwaukee makes some nice stuff. Snap on too. But bottom line for me is buy the best you can for your situation.

[@FunkFPV]

I never got the fandom when it comes to brand names. 👍🏻

[@alexp6016]

I like the name “Milwaukee’s circle jerk thing” better than Pipeline for their press events 😂

[@FunkFPV]

Haha 😜 I look at those things I think of all the chaos I could make not playing along

[@lImbus924]

Ohh baby, is that a new camera ? You look great !

[@madjackgamingandfitness498]

The influencer bit gets me. Like you’ve got people waving tools around for months and I’m wondering when it will actually hit the store. I’ll buy them later, will definitely use for removing plastic in wheels, leverage, and deep spots.

[@FunkFPV]

I’ll have to try them out when they get all that shrink wrap stuck behind the brake backing plate.

[@mbazzy123]

Your review was so successful Home Depot is sold out ! Any bets on how long it will take until HF knocks them off ?

[@FunkFPV]

I think them selling out was a coincidence 😜 I’ll bet HF already has a prototype

[@simonlang2001]

But like the double joint version from crescent tools more me think may not have as long a reach

[@render8]

Honestly if I had to grab a nut down in a tube, I'd use a magnet... Or a grabby pick up tool, not a needle nose plier Kinda stupid demo, but they made their point. 😂 They are nice though, seem well enough made, unique/useful design, reasonable ish price I ordered them in October@ Home Depot (NY) was $59.97 before tax $65.14 after We'll see how the steel jaws hold up over time I would imagine the knipex or snap-on have higher quality steel...🤷 We'll see🤞

[@andystoolbox]

So do u prefer double jointed or did these kill that venue

[@FunkFPV]

These are better in my opinion 👍🏻

[@stevenl.passalacqua3953]

The company should be called Hanoi instead of Milwaukee..

[@marksasahara1115]

I don't really have a use for the long pliers, so instead, a good ole cheapo extendable magnet works for most of the times I need a long reach. Keep 'em flying!

I’m just glad for validation that Mr Subaru sucks

[@hansr7580]

As a electrician im positive that these plier shouldnt be used in a live circuit. Even if the handels were insulated enough, there is way to much metal exposed... very high risk to make a short circuit or electrocute you...

[@CPthetooladdict]

Man you stole my heart with this review!

[@SomeGuysGarage]

Count me in the Gearwrench double x long reach camp, have had them for ages and they work quite well compared to other long reach pliers I've owned/used.

[@-Viceroy-]

AKA fishing pliers for pike fishing

[@robsdeviceunknown]

I bought the cheap harbor freight ones, I found myself using them WAY more than I thought I would. But sadly, they rust so bad and not very well built. But it was all I could afford. I wasn't expecting a Milwaukee hand tool costing $100 for the set either. I used to think there hand toold were very affordable.

[@Dieselrepair928]

Mr Subaru…. You mean Lord SUBARU!!! I noticed the same thing I stopped, subscribing to him a while ago. Keep up the good videos and let see what new tools this year will have!!

[@fortyseven1832]

I wouldn't be so sure they were manufactured by the U.S. engineers. Milwaukee, being entirely a NON-U.S. company probably hired someone from the Hong Kong area, where the owner of Milwaukee, TTI Industries, is from. Sadly, Milwaukee isn't an American company anymore.

Call me cheap if you want but $60 for the two pliers is a little more than I'd pay. I would just use them at home so it's hard to justify spending that much on tools I might use a couple time a year. They do seem nice though.

The former adminiistration applied tariffs to products from China Companies either shifted their production to other countries or just lied and changed the country of origin on the packaging to avoid the stigma of the Made in China label. Vietnam was probably the most used country name in that shift.
