Pliers NEO tools universal 160 mm, insulated 1000V (model 01-240)

NEO tools universal pliers 160 mm with 1000V insulation (model 01-240) are compact hand tools designed for gripping, bending and cutting wire during electrical work. The 160 mm length offers a balance between access in confined spaces and sufficient leverage. Insulated handles are rated for use on live circuits up to 1000 V, providing an added layer of protection for professional electricians and technicians when performing routine installation, maintenance or repair tasks.

Advantages

The pliers combine a hardened cutting edge with serrated gripping jaws to handle a range of conductor sizes and types. Insulated grips are constructed to meet safety requirements for live-line work up to 1000 V, while the compact 160 mm body improves control in tight spaces. The tool’s precise jaw alignment and ergonomic handle shape reduce hand fatigue during repeated use. Materials and heat treatment of the working parts provide wear resistance and long service life under typical electrical workshop conditions.

Suitable for

• Gripping and bending insulated and bare conductors during electrical installations
• Cutting small to medium-diameter wires and cables in maintenance work
• Working in confined spaces where a compact 160 mm tool is needed
• Routine electrical repair, assembly and panel work requiring insulated tools

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Insulation rating: safe for live-line work up to 1000 V
• Functionality: gripping, bending and cutting of wires
• Jaw type: serrated gripping surface with cutting edge
• Handle: ergonomic insulated grips for electrical safety and control

How to use

Inspect the insulated handles and tool body before each use to ensure there are no cracks, tears or damage that could compromise electrical protection. Use the serrated jaws to secure conductors for bending or pulling, and position the cutting edge around the wire to make clean cuts with a steady closing motion. Apply controlled force appropriate to the wire gauge; avoid using the pliers on hard materials or conductors beyond the tool’s intended capacity. After use, store the pliers in a dry, clean place away from direct sunlight and chemicals that could deteriorate the insulation.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, confirm the insulation rating is suitable for the voltage present, wear appropriate personal protective equipment, and periodically test or inspect insulated tools according to workplace safety procedures.
