Cutting Pliers (side) NEO tools 160 mm, insulated 1000V, model 01-243

Side cutting pliers NEO tools 160 mm, insulated 1000V, model 01-243 are compact hand pliers designed for precise cutting of wires and small fasteners. The tool combines a short nose and sharp cutting edges to provide clean cuts in copper and aluminium conductors as well as trimming of cable ties and small pins. Insulated handles rated to 1000 V reduce the risk of electric shock when working on live circuits within the specified protection rating, making the pliers suitable for work environments with electrical hazards.

Advantages

The pliers feature hardened cutting edges that maintain sharpness for repeated use and a comfortable ergonomic grip that improves control during precise cutting operations. Insulation on the handles is tested for a 1000 V rating to meet common safety requirements for electrical work, while the compact 160 mm length offers access to confined spaces and reduces operator fatigue during extended tasks. The construction balances durability and weight for reliable everyday use.

Suitable for

• Cutting insulated and uninsulated wires in electrical installation and maintenance
• Trimming cable ties, small pins and staples during assembly work
• Use in confined spaces where a compact cutting tool is required
• Tasks requiring insulated hand tools for work on energized circuits within the 1000 V rating

Key specifications

• Tool type: side/cutting pliers (diagonal cutters)
• Overall length: 160 mm
• Handle insulation: rated for electrical protection up to 1000 V
• Cutting edges: hardened steel for clean cuts
• Grip: ergonomic insulated handles for improved control
• Typical applications: electrical cutting, trimming, maintenance and assembly

How to use

Hold the pliers by the insulated handles with a firm but comfortable grip, position the wire or fastener between the cutting edges as close to the joint as possible, then squeeze the handles evenly to obtain a clean cut. For insulated conductors, verify the condition of the insulation and use within the 1000 V rating. Keep fingers away from the cutting edges and avoid using the tool on hardened steel bolts or large-diameter material beyond its designed capacity. After use, store the pliers in a dry place and inspect the insulation and cutting edges regularly for wear or damage.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers only within their electrical insulation rating and for intended cutting tasks; perform periodic inspections of the handle insulation and cutting edges, and replace the tool if any damage or significant wear is found.
