Insulated Side-Cutting Pliers NEO tools 160 mm, 1000V (T N01-525)

Insulated Side-Cutting Pliers NEO tools 160 mm, 1000V (T N01-525) are hand pliers designed for electrical work that requires safe handling of live circuits. With a 160 mm overall length and insulation rated to 1000 V, these side-cutting pliers combine a compact form factor with hardened cutting edges and ergonomically shaped handles to perform wire cutting, cable trimming and light assembly tasks reliably in maintenance and installation environments.

Advantages

The pliers provide certified insulation for work on live electrical installations up to 1000 V, reducing the risk of electrical shock when used correctly. Hardened cutting edges deliver consistent cutting performance on copper and aluminum conductors and on common soft materials encountered in electrical installation. Ergonomic, slip-resistant handles improve grip and reduce hand fatigue during repeated use. The compact 160 mm size offers good access in confined spaces while maintaining adequate leverage for controlled cuts.

Suitable for

• Cutting and trimming electrical wires and cables in domestic and commercial installations
• Maintenance and service work on live or de-energised circuits within the insulation rating
• Light assembly, fitting and fastening tasks requiring precise side cuts
• Use in tight or confined spaces where a compact tool is needed

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Insulation rating: 1000 V for safe use on live electrical installations (when used and inspected according to applicable standards)
• Tool type: insulated side-cutting pliers
• Cutting edge: hardened steel for durable cutting performance
• Handles: ergonomically shaped, slip-resistant insulation
• Typical applications: wire cutting, cable trimming, light assembly

How to use

Inspect the pliers before each use for visible damage to insulation, handles or cutting edges. Ensure the tool is clean and dry. Use the pliers to cut or trim conductors by positioning the wire in the cutting jaws near the hinge for maximum leverage, and apply steady pressure to execute a clean cut. For insulated work, always verify that the tool's insulation integrity is intact and that you are working within the 1000 V rating. Do not use the pliers on live circuits outside the specified voltage rating or on energized equipment if the insulation is damaged.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, regularly inspect the insulation for cracks, nicks or wear, and replace the tool if any damage is found. Use personal protective equipment appropriate for electrical work, follow local electrical safety regulations, and store the pliers in a dry, temperature-stable environment to preserve insulation properties.
