Pliers Knipex 13 86 200 6-in-1 200 mm VDE insulated 1000 V

Knipex 13 86 200 6-in-1 200 mm VDE insulated pliers are a compact multifunction tool designed for electrical installation, maintenance and repair work on live systems up to 1000 V. Combining cutting, gripping and crimping capabilities in a single 200 mm body, these pliers simplify tasks that require safe handling of conductors, terminals and small components. The VDE insulation and testing mark indicate compliance with safety standards for use on energized circuits within the rated voltage.

Advantages

These insulated pliers integrate six functions — precise cutting, wire stripping, gripping, bending, crimping insulated terminals and holding small parts — in one ergonomic tool. The 200 mm length gives a balance between leverage and access in confined spaces. VDE-certified insulation provides protection up to 1000 V, while hardened cutting edges and robust joint construction deliver long service life and consistent performance under frequent professional use.

Suitable for

• Electrical installation and wiring in residential and commercial buildings
• Maintenance and repair of electrical equipment and control cabinets
• Crimping insulated terminals and splicing conductors
• Working on energized circuits where VDE insulation is required
• Tasks in confined spaces where a compact multifunction tool is advantageous

Key specifications

• Overall length: 200 mm
• Functions: cutting, wire stripping, gripping, bending, crimping insulated terminals, holding small parts
• Insulation: VDE-certified for use on live systems up to 1000 V
• Material: hardened cutting edges and durable steel construction
• Handle: ergonomic insulated handles for secure grip and electrical protection

How to use

Use the pliers by selecting the appropriate functional area for the task: place wires in the cutting notch for clean cuts, align conductors in the stripping area for insulation removal, or position terminals in the crimping section and apply even pressure. Gripping and bending operations are performed at the jaw tips or serrated gripping area. Ensure handles are fully closed during crimping operations and maintain a steady hand for precise results. Inspect the insulation and tool condition before use and follow safe working practices when working on live circuits.

Usage recommendations

Before each use, verify that the insulation is intact and that the tool has valid VDE testing. Do not exceed the rated voltage of 1000 V and avoid using the pliers for tasks that may damage the insulated handles, such as striking or levering. Keep cutting edges sharp and free of contamination to maintain clean cuts; sharpen or replace the tool if performance declines.
