Technical information
Product description
When working on electrical installations, clean cuts and reliable insulation make all the difference between a smooth job and a dangerous hazard. Our 160 mm VDE diagonal cutting pliers (side cutters) offer maximum accuracy and complete protection during live circuit operations.
Engineered for professional electricians and industrial technicians, these side cutters cleanly snip through soft and hard wire with minimal hand effort.
Key Benefits and Product Quality:
- Certified VDE 1000V Protection (EN/IEC 60900)
Fully tested and compliant with the stringent EN/IEC 60900 international standard. The insulated handles ensure complete safety when working on energized equipment up to 1000V AC.
- Premium Chrome-Vanadium (Cr-V) Steel & Induction-Hardened Edges
Forged from durable Chrome-Vanadium (Cr-V) steel, these pliers feature exceptional wear resistance and durability. The cutting edges are induction-hardened to deliver clean, flush cuts without crushing wires, even after heavy, repeated use.
- Compact & Nimble 160 mm Size
The 160 mm length is ideal for maneuvering in confined spaces such as junction boxes and distribution boards. It offers excellent control for precise wire trimming while maintaining efficient cutting leverage.
- Ergonomic Soft-Grip Handles
The ergonomic handles with soft Soft Grip coating provide a comfortable, non-slip hold. Raised slip guards at the top of the handles prevent your hand from accidentally sliding forward onto the uninsulated metal head.
Pro Tip: To maximize blade longevity, use side cutters on wire gauges and materials within their recommended technical specifications.
