NEO tools side-cutting pliers 180 mm, insulated 1000 V, model 01-244

NEO tools side-cutting pliers 180 mm, insulated 1000 V, model 01-244 are hand tools designed for cutting and trimming wires and small metal elements in electrical installation, maintenance and repair work. The pliers combine hardened cutting edges with an insulated body certified for use on live circuits up to 1000 V, providing a tool intended for professional electricians and skilled DIY users who require reliable cutting performance and electrical protection.

Advantages

The pliers feature precision-hardened cutting edges that ensure a clean cut of copper and aluminium conductors as well as small metal parts. Ergonomic insulated handles improve grip and reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks, while the insulation is tested to provide protection up to 1000 V. The compact 180 mm length gives good access in tight spaces and balances cutting force with maneuverability for typical electrical tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting and trimming electrical wires and cables in installation and repair
• Maintenance of electrical panels and terminal blocks
• Working on live circuits where tools with 1000 V insulation are required
• Small metal cutting and component removal in confined spaces

Key specifications

• Overall length: 180 mm
• Tool type: side-cutting pliers (diagonal cutters)
• Insulation rating: rated for use up to 1000 V
• Cutting edges: hardened for reliable cutting of copper and aluminium
• Handle: ergonomic insulated grips for electrical work

How to use

Position the cutting edges around the conductor or small metal element to be cut, keeping fingers clear of the jaws. Apply steady pressure on the handles to make a clean cut; for thicker conductors, use several controlled cuts if necessary. When working on live circuits, always follow safety procedures: verify voltage, use appropriate personal protective equipment and ensure insulation integrity before use. After use, inspect the cutting edges and insulation for damage and keep the tool clean and dry.

Usage recommendations

Use these insulated side-cutting pliers for routine electrical cutting tasks where 1000 V protection is required; do not use the tool on conductors exceeding the intended capacity or as a substitute for pliers designed for heavy mechanical tasks. Periodically check the insulation and cutting edges, and replace the tool if any damage or wear compromises safety or performance.
