Advantages

Induction-hardened precision cutting edges with a hardness of 62–64 HRC provide long-lasting sharpness and consistent cutting performance. The lever action is designed for efficient force transmission, enabling easier cutting during prolonged use. Chrome plating protects the tool against corrosion while the Gedore special steel construction ensures strength and wear resistance. VDE-insulated handles allow safe work on or near live electrical parts up to 1000 V as per standards.

Suitable for

• Cutting flat and round metal material
• Cutting all types of wire including piano wire up to 1.6 mm

How to use

Position the wire or material between the cutting edges close to the joint to get the strongest shearing action. Squeeze the handles firmly using smooth, controlled force; the lever action will amplify hand input for easier cutting. For piano wire and hard wires, make progressive cuts close to the joint and reposition the material if necessary to avoid edge damage. Keep the cutting edges clean and free from debris for best performance.

Usage recommendations

Do not use the pliers on materials exceeding the specified cutting capacity. Inspect the VDE insulating sleeves regularly for damage before electrical work. For prolonged life, clean and lightly oil the joint and cutting edges after use and store the tool dry.
