Cutting Pliers FELO VDE 200 mm with extended neck model 58102040, insulated handles

FELO VDE 200 mm side cutting pliers with extended neck (model 58102040) are precision cutting tools designed for electricians and maintenance professionals who require safe, accurate cuts in confined or hard-to-reach areas. The tool combines hardened cutting edges with a longer neck for improved access, while insulated handles conforming to VDE standards provide protection when working on live or potentially live electrical circuits. The compact 200 mm size balances cutting force and maneuverability for routine wiring and component work.

Advantages

The pliers feature hardened, precisely ground cutting edges that deliver clean cuts through copper and aluminum conductors and small component leads. An extended neck improves visibility and reach in tight spaces, reducing the need to reposition the workpiece. Ergonomic insulated handles reduce hand fatigue during repeated use and meet VDE insulation requirements to help protect users from electrical shock when used according to the applicable standards. The robust construction provides consistent performance and long tool life under professional use.

Suitable for

• Cutting insulated and uninsulated copper and aluminum wires
• Trimming component leads on printed circuit boards and electrical assemblies
• Working in confined spaces, junction boxes and distribution cabinets
• Electrical installation, service and maintenance tasks where VDE-rated insulation is required

Key specifications

• Overall length: 200 mm
• Tool type: side cutting pliers with extended neck
• Cutting edges: hardened and precisely ground
• Handles: VDE-rated insulated grips for electrical work
• Intended materials: copper, aluminum conductors and small component leads
• Ergonomics: shaped grips for reduced hand fatigue

How to use

Position the cutting edges around the conductor or component lead to be removed, close the handles with steady pressure and allow the hardened blades to shear cleanly. Use the extended neck to reach into tight locations while keeping the insulated handles between your hand and any live parts. Inspect the cutting edges regularly and avoid cutting hardened steel or materials for which the pliers are not designed, as this may damage the blades and reduce insulating protection. Follow relevant VDE and workplace safety procedures when working on live systems.

Usage recommendations

Use these pliers for electrical and electronics work where VDE-rated insulation is required. Store the tool clean and dry, periodically check the insulation for damage, and replace the pliers if the insulating grips show cuts, cracks or significant wear. Do not use the tool on energized parts beyond its rated insulation capability and consult local safety regulations and VDE guidelines for safe operation.
