Combination Pliers NWS CombiMax+ VDE 180mm

The NWS Combination Pliers CombiMax+ VDE 180mm are professional-grade pliers designed for electricians and technicians who require reliable gripping, cutting and twisting capabilities in a compact tool. Manufactured in Germany from durable steel, these pliers deliver high leverage for tasks involving wires, cables and small fasteners. The ergonomic red-and-yellow insulated handles combine comfort and improved hand control for extended use, while the 180 mm length and 275 g weight make the tool easy to carry and position in confined spaces.

Advantages

These combination pliers offer a high-leverage design that increases gripping and cutting power while minimizing hand fatigue. Hardened jaws provide long-lasting edge retention for cutting and stripping, and the precise alignment supports consistent performance. Insulated handles in red and yellow improve visibility and provide a comfortable, non-slip grip. Compact dimensions and moderate weight make the tool suitable for mobile use and for working in tight locations.

How to use

Hold the pliers by the insulated handles with a firm but comfortable grip. Position the jaws around the wire, cable or fastener to be gripped or cut. For cutting, place the material close to the hinge to use the leverage effectively and apply steady pressure to the handles until the cut is complete. For gripping or bending, align the workpiece in the jaws and apply controlled force. Use the suitable part of the jaws for the task: front jaws for precision gripping, the central section for gripping larger shapes and the cutting edge for wire cutting. After use, wipe clean and store in a dry tool pouch or toolbox.

Usage recommendations

Do not use the pliers on live electrical circuits unless they are specifically rated and tested for the intended voltage; follow applicable safety standards and local regulations. Regularly inspect the cutting edges and handles for wear or damage and replace the tool if insulation or jaw integrity is compromised. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and select the correct tool size for the job to maintain safe and efficient operation.
