Packing an electrician hand tools kit means choosing between a broad starter set and a focused pliers setup. The MILWAUKEE 48-22-6119 Electrician Tool Set pairs a multi-bit screwdriver with a utility knife, cutters, and a stripper. The OFOSSTOOL 3-Piece Combination Pliers Set takes the opposite route, grouping its 9-in-1 functions into three pliers. Here's how to decide which one belongs in your bag.
Quick verdict
Choose the Milwaukee set when you want one kit that's ready for several routine jobs. Choose the OFOSSTOOL when you want the plier functions you use most grouped into one trio.

Where each product wins
- The Milwaukee set wins on coverage: it includes a multi-bit screwdriver, a stripper/cutter, and a folding utility knife, so you can handle more job types without adding tools.
- The OFOSSTOOL wins on concentration: the three pliers consolidate wire stripping, crimping, cutting, twisting, and gripping into fewer pieces.
Product notes
MILWAUKEE 48-22-6119 Electrician Tool Set
The Milwaukee set is built around the tools you'll reach for during a workday. The 11-in-1 screwdriver carries 8 bits and 3 nut drivers, while the wire stripper/cutter uses a swing-lock design for fast, one-handed operation and stays closed in a pouch. The curved blade makes cleaner cuts through larger wires and can handle #6 and #8 bolts. The FASTBACK folding knife opens with a press-and-flip motion. The trade-off is the tool count: this is a 4-piece set, so it gives you one screwdriver and one knife rather than a full lineup of dedicated pliers.
OFOSSTOOL 3-Piece Combination Pliers Set
These three pliers are a concentrated answer to repetitive wire work. They strip 1.0-6.0 square wire and crimp 0.75-6, and they also cut, twist, and grip. The lineman pliers head has a cross-grain design, and the cutting edge is high-frequency heat-treated to a hardness of 62+2. Reddish-black handles pair high-carbon steel with rubber for a firm grip, and the eccentric shape aims to reduce effort. The limitation is the narrower scope: this set is made up entirely of pliers, which makes it a specialized wire-handling option rather than a complete tool-bag starter kit.
Final choice by use case
Choose the MILWAUKEE 48-22-6119 if you want a single $39.98 kit for general electrical work. Choose the OFOSSTOOL 3PCS Combination Pliers Set if you prefer a dedicated $48.99 pliers set for wire work. The $9.01 gap puts the Milwaukee at the lower outlay; the higher OFOSSTOOL price buys you three pliers built specifically for repetitive wire tasks. If your priority is being able to reach for one set and handle a variety of small jobs, the Milwaukee makes the easier pick. If your priority is having a compact pliers group that matches the wire tasks you do all day, the OFOSSTOOL makes the stronger case.
