## Summary description

NWS VDE 160 mm side cutting pliers designed for safe electrical work. VDE-insulated handles provide protection when working on live or de-energized circuits. The 160 mm tool features hardened cutting edges suitable for cutting soft and hard wire as specified by manufacturer cutting values. Ideal for electricians and maintenance technicians for precise wire cutting and trimming.

## Long description

NWS VDE 160 mm side cutting pliers are designed for electrical work where insulation and cutting performance are required in a compact tool. The pliers combine a 160 mm overall length with VDE-certified insulated handles to reduce the risk of electric shock when working on live or de-energized circuits. Hardened cutting edges provide the capacity to cut soft and hard wire within the manufacturer's specified cutting values, while the side cutter geometry supports precise trimming and close-to-insulation cuts.
Advantages
The insulated handles meet VDE requirements for protection against electrical contact, giving measured dielectric resistance for tasks near live components. Heat-treated, hardened cutting edges maintain sharpness and resist deformation when cutting copper and steel conductors of appropriate gauges. Compact 160 mm length delivers good access in confined spaces and allows controlled hand positioning for precision cuts. Robust joint and forged construction ensure reliable alignment of the cutting edges over repeated use.
Suitable for
 Cutting and trimming soft copper and aluminium wire
 Cutting small diameter hardened steel conductors within rated values
 Electrical installation and maintenance work on live or de-energized circuits
 Workshop and field service tasks requiring insulated hand tools
 Precision trimming of cable ends and component leads
Key specifications
 Overall length: 160 mm
 Tool type: side cutting pliers (diagonal cutter)
 Handle: VDE-certified insulated handles for electrical protection
 Cutting edges: heat-treated, hardened steel for soft and hard wire
 Joint: forged construction for durable alignment and leverage
How to use
Position the conductor as close to the pivot point as practical for lowest cutting effort and best control, ensuring the wire sits between the cutting edges. Squeeze the handles with steady force until the conductor is severed; for insulated conductors, take care not to damage surrounding insulation beyond the cut. Use the pliers only within the manufacturer's advised cutting capacity for hard wires. Before using on live circuits, verify the insulation rating and condition of the handles and follow standard electrical safety procedures.
Usage recommendations
Inspect the insulated handles and cutting edges before each use; do not use if insulation is cracked, torn or compromised. Keep cutting edges clean and, if necessary, lightly lubricated at the joint to preserve smooth operation. Do not use the pliers as a hammer, pry bar, or for tasks beyond their cutting purpose. Store in a dry place and periodically check the tool for wear to ensure continued electrical protection and cutting performance.
