Pliers set EINHELL 49370540 VDE insulated 160 mm, 3 pieces

The EINHELL pliers set 49370540 comprises three 160 mm VDE-insulated hand tools designed for electrical work. Each plier in the set features professional insulation that meets VDE requirements for use on live circuits, providing protection while performing gripping, bending and cutting tasks. The compact 160 mm length offers good access in confined spaces and precise handling for common installation and maintenance jobs.

Advantages

The set combines three essential functions—gripping, cutting and combination work—in a single compact kit, ensuring versatility for electrical technicians. VDE-certified insulation supports safer work on live electrical components within the specified rating. Ergonomically shaped handles improve control and reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks, while hardened cutting edges and reliable joint construction maintain long-term performance.

Suitable for

• Electricians performing installation and maintenance of electrical systems
• Service technicians working on live circuits within the VDE insulation rating
• Tasks requiring precise gripping, bending or cutting of conductors and small components

Key specifications

• Set composition: three pliers, each 160 mm in length
• Insulation: VDE-rated insulated handles for work on live circuits (meets relevant VDE requirements)
• Functions included: combination/gripping, wire cutting, and long-nose/precision gripping depending on tool type
• Handle design: ergonomic, non-slip insulated grips
• Material: hardened cutting edges and durable steel construction for reliable mechanical performance

How to use

Choose the appropriate plier from the set for the task—use combination pliers for general gripping and bending, cutting pliers for cutting conductors, and long-nose or precision pliers for access in tight spaces. Verify the insulation condition before use and confirm that the tool's VDE protection rating is suitable for the live-voltage environment. Position the jaws correctly on the workpiece, apply steady pressure, and avoid excessive force beyond the tool’s intended mechanical capacity. After use, clean any debris and store the pliers in a dry place to preserve insulation and metal surfaces.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the insulated handles and metal parts for wear, cracks or damage. Do not use these insulated pliers if the insulation is compromised or if the tool shows signs of deformation. For work on live high-voltage systems, verify that the pliers’ VDE rating matches the required safety standards and follow applicable safety procedures and personal protective equipment guidelines.
