Cutting Pliers NWS Seitenschneider 145 mm model 134-49-VDE-145, insulated VDE, 145 mm cutting length

NWS Seitenschneider 145 mm model 134-49-VDE-145 is a pair of insulated side-cutting pliers designed for electrical and general cutting tasks. With an overall length of 145 mm and VDE-certified insulation, these pliers combine compact size with safe handling for work on live circuits within the specified VDE protection limits. The tool is built to provide precise cutting of wires and small components while offering protection against accidental contact with live parts.

Advantages

The pliers feature VDE-rated insulated handles that meet safety requirements for electrical work, allowing use on live circuits up to the applicable voltage class. Their short, hardened cutting edges provide clean shearing of soft and hard wires as well as pins and small fasteners. The compact 145 mm form factor ensures good access in confined spaces and improved control during trimming and cutting operations. Durable construction and corrosion-resistant surfaces extend service life and maintain cutting performance over time.

Suitable for

• Cutting and trimming copper and aluminium electrical conductors
• Removing cable ties, small pins and wire ends in installations
• Work in switchboards, junction boxes and confined electrical enclosures
• Maintenance and repair tasks requiring insulated hand tools

Key specifications

• Overall length: 145 mm
• Tool type: side-cutting pliers (diagonal cutters)
• Handle: VDE-certified insulated grip for electrical safety
• Cutting edge: hardened cutting blades for clean cuts on wires and small pins
• Construction: forged steel body with corrosion-resistant finish
• Application range: designed for electrical installation, maintenance and repair

How to use

Select the appropriate position on the wire or component so the material lies close to the cutting edge. Squeeze the handles evenly to achieve a clean shearing action; for larger conductors make progressive cuts rather than twisting the tool. Maintain a secure grip and keep fingers behind the guard area of the insulated handles. After cutting, inspect the cut face for burrs and, if needed, use a stripping or filing step to prepare the conductor for termination.

Usage recommendations

Use these insulated side-cutting pliers only within the rated VDE voltage limits and visually check the insulation for damage before each use. Do not expose insulated handles to solvents, excessive heat or mechanical damage. For hard or large diameter conductors consider using an appropriately sized cutting tool to avoid overloading the blades.
