Pliers, högert technik HT1P911 side-cutting 180 mm, insulated 1000V VDE

Side-cutting pliers högert technik HT1P911, 180 mm, feature a compact cutting head and VDE-certified insulated handles rated to 1000 V for safe work on live electrical circuits. Designed for cutting and trimming copper and aluminium wires, cable strands and small components, these pliers combine a robust cutting edge with ergonomic grips to increase control and reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks.

Advantages

The slim head profile allows access into confined spaces and close-to-terminal cutting. VDE-tested insulation provides electrical protection up to 1000 V DC/AC, reducing the risk when working on energized systems. Precision-hardened cutting edges ensure clean cuts on soft and hard conductors while the ergonomic handle shape improves grip and leverage for controlled cutting force.

Suitable for

• Cutting and trimming copper and aluminium wires
• Electrical installation and maintenance work
• Work on terminal blocks and confined spaces
• General workshop and service tasks requiring insulated cutting tools

Key specifications

• Tool type: side-cutting pliers (end cutter) with insulated handles
• Total length: 180 mm
• Insulation rating: certified for use on live circuits up to 1000 V
• Handle style: ergonomic, non-slip insulated grips
• Cutting capability: wires and small components; precision-hardened cutting edges
• Head profile: compact for access in tight areas

How to use

Position the cutting edges around the conductor as close to the desired cut point as possible, apply steady pressure to the handles and complete the cut in a single controlled motion. For insulated work, always verify the condition of the insulation and that the tool's rated protection is appropriate for the voltage present. Use the slim head to reach into tight terminal areas and avoid twisting the tool while cutting to preserve the cutting edge.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the tool regularly for damage to the insulation and cutting edges; replace the pliers if insulation is cracked, worn or compromised. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow applicable electrical safety procedures when working on energized circuits.
