Side-cutting pliers HOGERT HT1P909 160 mm, insulated VDE 1000V

HOGERT HT1P909 side-cutting pliers, 160 mm in length, combine compact size with VDE-rated 1000V insulation for tasks on electrical installations. The tool is designed for cutting and stripping copper and aluminum conductors, trimming component leads and performing general maintenance in residential and commercial electrical work. Insulated handles provide tactile control in confined spaces while reducing the risk associated with accidental contact when working near live parts.

Advantages

The 160 mm overall length gives precise control in tight areas without sacrificing cutting force. VDE-certified 1000V insulation on the handles meets safety standards for use on energized circuits up to that rating. Hardened cutting edges maintain sharpness for reliable wire cutting and offer clean cuts on soft and medium-hard conductors. Ergonomically shaped insulated grips improve comfort and reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting and trimming copper and aluminum wires
• Electrical installation and repair work in residential and commercial settings
• Maintenance of control panels and electrical equipment
• Working in confined or hard-to-reach spaces
• Tasks requiring insulated tools near live circuits up to 1000V

Key specifications

• Tool type: side-cutting pliers
• Overall length: 160 mm
• Insulation rating: VDE 1000 V
• Cutting edge: hardened steel for clean cuts
• Handle: ergonomically shaped insulated grips
• Typical applications: wire cutting, lead trimming, small component maintenance

How to use

Hold the pliers by the insulated handles and position the workpiece between the cutting edges near the pivot for maximum leverage. For cutting wires, close the jaws firmly in a single smooth motion to produce a clean cut. Use the tip area for trimming component leads or reaching into confined spaces. Inspect the insulation before use; do not use the tool if the insulating layer is damaged. Follow standard electrical safety procedures and verify that the insulator is intact and the tool is appropriate for the voltage level encountered.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers only within the specified insulation rating and avoid exposing the handles to solvents, excessive heat or mechanical damage. Keep cutting edges clean and occasionally apply a light lubricant to the pivot for smooth operation. Store the tool dry and inspect it regularly; replace if the insulation shows cuts, cracking or excessive wear. For work on live circuits, follow local regulations and use appropriate personal protective equipment.
