Two Milwaukee electrician hand tool sets are competing for space in your tool bag. Both are new, and both are built for electrical work, but they aim at slightly different jobs. There's a $20 price gap between them, so the decision comes down to how you plan to use the tools.
Quick verdict
If you want a compact four-piece kit that's ready to take along, the Milwaukee 48-22-6119 is the straightforward choice. If you want a five-piece kit with 1000V-insulated tools and a longer list of specific pliers, stripper, and screwdrivers, the Milwaukee 48-22-2215 is the more complete pick.

Where each product wins
The 48-22-6119 wins when portability and a lower price matter more than a bigger tool list. The carrying case and the four-tool layout make it a tidy grab-and-go set.
The 48-22-2215 wins when insulation and tool variety matter. The 1000V rating and five-tool lineup give you more coverage for jobs where insulated tools are part of the plan.
Product notes
Milwaukee 48-22-6119 Electrician's Hand Tool Set w/ Durable Carrying Case - 4PC
The 48-22-6119 is a four-piece specialty set that comes ready to travel. The durable carrying case keeps the tools organized and makes the kit a simple grab-and-go option for a full day on site. It is new, red, and compatible with model 48226119. For electricians who want a complete basic kit without an oversized tool bag, the four pieces cover the essentials and the price keeps it at the lower end of this matchup. The trade-off is the piece count: you are choosing four tools rather than the five in the other set, and the 1000V insulation rating is not part of this kit's title. If your main work calls for insulated hand tools, this case-ready set may not be the one you want.
Milwaukee 48-22-2215 1000V 5pc. Insulated Electricians Hand Tool Set
The 48-22-2215 is built around 1000V insulation. The five tools include a 9-inch lineman's pliers, 8-inch diagonal cutting pliers, a 10-20 AWG wire stripper, and two slim-tip screwdrivers in #2 Phillips and 1/4-inch cabinet profiles. The set is UL classified and certified to IEC, which gives it a more specific positioning than the four-piece kit. At $74, it's the higher-priced option here, but that higher price buys a defined tool list and the insulated rating. You also get the red/black color scheme of the 1000V line. If your tasks involve insulated hand tools, this set is the better match. If you are only looking for a basic kit without insulated tools, the extra cost may not be necessary.
Final choice by use case
If you want a portable four-piece kit, choose the Milwaukee 48-22-6119. If you want a five-piece insulated kit with a defined list of pliers, cutter, stripper, and screwdrivers, choose the Milwaukee 48-22-2215. When insulated tools are part of your daily work, the higher-priced five-piece set is the one that fits. For a compact general kit, the lower-priced four-piece set is the easier grab.
