FELO Side Cutters VDE 180 mm FL58101840 insulated pliers, 180 mm cutting blades, VDE safety certified

FELO Side Cutters VDE 180 mm FL58101840 insulated pliers combine VDE-certified insulation with hardened cutting edges in a compact 180 mm tool designed for electrical work. These diagonal cutting pliers are intended to provide safe handling when working near live circuits and to deliver clean cuts on wires, cable ends and small components used in installation, maintenance and repair tasks.

Advantages

The pliers feature VDE safety-certified insulated handles that protect against accidental contact with live parts within the rated voltage. Hardened cutting blades ensure long-lasting sharpness and reliable cutting performance on copper and soft steel wires. The 180 mm overall length balances access and leverage for controlled cutting in confined spaces, while ergonomic handles improve grip and reduce hand fatigue during repeated use.

Suitable for

• Cutting electrical wires and cable ends during installation and repair
• Trimming component leads and staples in maintenance tasks
• Use by electricians and technicians working on live or de-energized circuits within the tool's rated insulation limits

Key specifications

• Overall length: 180 mm
• Tool type: diagonal/side cutting pliers
• Cutting edges: hardened for durability and clean cutting
• Handles: insulated to VDE safety standards for electrical work
• Intended materials: copper and soft steel wires, small metal components

How to use

Inspect the tool before use to ensure insulation and cutting edges are intact. Position the cutting edges perpendicular to the wire and apply steady pressure to make a single clean cut. For thicker conductors, make progressive cuts rather than forcing the blades to avoid damage. After use, store the pliers in a dry, secure location away from corrosive substances and check insulation periodically for wear or damage.

Usage recommendations

Use these insulated diagonal pliers only within the voltage and application limits indicated by VDE certification; they are suitable for live work only if the specific rating supports the task. Do not use the pliers on hardened steel, nails or screws and avoid applying excessive side load to the cutting edges. Regularly verify the condition of the insulation and cutting edges and replace the tool if any defects are found.
