The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Milwaukee MLW48223690 is the priciest locking-plier listing in this group at 137.58 dollars. Its 8.6-pound weight is far heavier than the single pliers here, which points to a multi-piece package rather than one tool, though the listing does not spell out the contents.
The rating is an excellent 4.8 stars across 214 reviews, the joint-highest in this group. The only build spec given is an alloy steel handle.
Around 50 buyers picked it up in the last month. It makes sense if you want Milwaukee quality and the heft suggests you are getting more than one plier for the money.
