Insulated electrician's round-nose pliers JUCO 160 mm 1000 V model 28596

Insulated electrician's round-nose pliers JUCO 160 mm model 28596 are designed for safe gripping, bending and forming of wires and small components during electrical installation and maintenance. The pliers combine a round-nose jaw profile for precise shaping with insulated handles tested to 1000 V, allowing work on live systems within specified safety limits. With a 160 mm overall length, these pliers offer a balance of access and control for tasks in residential and commercial environments.

Advantages

The round-nose jaws provide smooth, consistent bends without damaging insulation or conductor strands, and the tapered profile enables detailed shaping in tight spaces. Insulated handles rated to 1000 V reduce the risk of electrical shock when working near live circuits, while ergonomic grips improve hand comfort and control during repetitive tasks. The compact 160 mm length supports both precision work and access into confined areas common in electrical installations.

Suitable for

• Gripping, bending and forming copper and aluminium wires
• Shaping wire loops, terminals and small components
• Work on residential and commercial electrical installations
• Maintenance tasks where insulated hand tools are required

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Jaw type: round-nose, tapered for precise forming
• Insulation rating: 1000 V (for live-working protection within rated conditions)
• Handle style: insulated grips for electrical protection and improved handling
• Primary use: gripping, bending and forming wires and small components

How to use

Select the appropriate position on the jaw for the desired bend or loop, then grip the wire firmly without applying excessive force that could damage the conductor. For creating consistent loops or bends, use the tapered section of the round-nose jaws and rotate or bend the wire gradually to achieve the required shape. When working near live parts, verify that the insulation rating meets the application requirements and follow all applicable electrical safety procedures, including using personal protective equipment and following lockout/tagout or de-energizing practices where required.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the insulated handles for cuts, cracks or damage before use; damaged insulation can compromise protection. Use these pliers within their 1000 V rating and avoid exposing them to solvents or temperatures that could degrade the insulation. Clean and store the tool in a dry place to maintain mechanical function and insulation integrity.
