Pliers GEKO G01601 for thick insulation 180 mm, cutting capacity 6/60

GEKO G01601 pliers for thick insulation, 180 mm, are hand tools designed to cut and grip insulated conductors and cables. With a compact overall length of 180 mm and a cutting capacity specified as 6/60, these pliers combine hardened cutting edges and ergonomically shaped handles to facilitate manual electrical and installation tasks. The tool is intended for use by electricians, installers and maintenance personnel who need reliable mechanical performance when working with medium and thick insulated cables.

Advantages

Hardened cutting edges provide durable cutting performance on insulated conductors, while ergonomically profiled handles reduce hand fatigue during repetitive operations. The relatively short 180 mm length allows good control in confined spaces. The combination of cutting and gripping sections supports a range of cable manipulation tasks without switching tools.

Suitable for

• Cutting insulated copper and aluminum conductors within the stated capacity
• Gripping and positioning cables during installation and routing
• Electrical maintenance and repair work in residential and commercial settings
• Installation tasks in confined or hard-to-reach spaces

Key specifications

• Overall length: 180 mm
• Cutting capacity (nominal): 6/60
• Hardened cutting edges for increased durability
• Ergonomic handles for improved grip and control
• Combined cutting and gripping functionality

How to use

Position the insulated conductor between the cutting edges at the appropriate point. Apply steady pressure on the handles until the conductor is severed. Use the gripping section near the jaws to hold or bend the cable as required for installation. Inspect the cutting edges periodically for wear and ensure the handles remain clean and free of oils or residues that could reduce grip. Observe standard safety precautions for electrical work, and verify that conductors are de-energized before cutting.

Usage recommendations

Use these pliers on insulated conductors within the specified cutting capacity and avoid cutting hardened steel, nails or other materials that can damage the cutting edges. Store the tool in a dry place and perform occasional maintenance such as cleaning and light lubrication of the pivot to maintain smooth operation.
