Cutting pliers FELO OBCINACZKI BOCZNE VDE 190 — side-cutting pliers, insulated VDE, 190 mm

FELO OBCINACZKI BOCZNE VDE 190 are 190 mm side-cutting pliers designed for electrical work. These insulated VDE pliers provide a compact cutting tool for precise trimming and removal of wires, cable ends and small components. The 190 mm length combines reach and control while ergonomic handles reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. VDE certification indicates insulation tested for use on live circuits up to the rated voltage, making these side-cutting pliers suitable for professional electricians and technicians working with energized installations.

Advantages

These side-cutting pliers feature hardened cutting edges for clean cuts and long service life, while the VDE insulated handles provide verified protection against electric shock when used within specified voltage limits. The compact 190 mm body offers improved maneuverability in confined spaces without sacrificing cutting performance. Handles are shaped for a secure grip and better force transmission, helping to reduce hand strain during frequent cutting operations.

Suitable for

• Cutting insulated and uninsulated copper and soft metal wires
• Trimming cable ties, small terminals and component leads
• Electrical installation and maintenance work on live and de-energized circuits
• Industry and workshop assembly tasks requiring precise side cutting

Key specifications

• Tool type: side-cutting pliers (diagonal cutters)
• Overall length: 190 mm
• Insulation: VDE-certified insulated handles for electrical safety
• Cutting edges: hardened and precision-ground for clean cuts
• Handle design: ergonomic, non-slip grips for improved control

How to use

Position the wire or component between the cutting edges near the pivot for optimal leverage, then squeeze the handles evenly to execute a clean cut. For insulated live conductors, ensure the pliers are used within the VDE-rated voltage limit and that the insulation is intact; inspect the tool for damage before each use. Use the pliers in a comfortable grip and avoid twisting motions that could damage the cutting edge. After use, clean any debris from the jaws and store the tool in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the insulation and cutting edges; do not use the pliers if the VDE insulation is damaged. Lubricate the pivot periodically to maintain smooth operation and sharpen or replace the tool when cutting performance declines. Always follow local safety rules and wear appropriate personal protective equipment when working on electrical systems.
