According to Milwaukee, they noticed users were customizing their locking pliers by welding on a metal loop to the thumb screw so they could use a screwdriver to add more tightening force. Milwaukee noticed what the users needs were and took the users ideas and built them into their Torque Lock locking pliers with a special “thumb screw with a more convenient geometry for hand force and a unique screwdriver through-hole design to produce maximum locking force.”
In addition to the unique thumbscrew design, “each tool also features hardened jaws for more gripping power on jobsite material, and is made from chrome plated forged alloy steel for maximum durability and rust protection. A traditional release lever design provides further jobsite functionality and convenience for increased productivity.”
