## Long description

Knipex side-cutting pliers 160 mm VDE 1000 V are insulated electrician’s cutters designed for safe handling of live and de-energized electrical conductors. These compact side-cutting pliers combine a 160 mm working length with VDE-certified insulation for up to 1000 V AC, making them suitable for precision cutting of copper and soft wires as well as trimming cable ties during installation, maintenance and repair tasks.
Advantages
The pliers feature ergonomically shaped handles with electrically insulating material that meets VDE safety standards for use on live parts up to 1000 V AC. Their slim head and precise cutting edges enable clean cuts close to terminals and in confined spaces. Hardened cutting edges ensure long service life when cutting soft wires, and the compact overall length improves access in tight panels and junction boxes.

Usage recommendations
Use these VDE-insulated side-cutting pliers only on live parts within the stated voltage rating and always verify the absence or presence of voltage with appropriate test equipment before starting work.
