NWS side cutters 180 VDE NW137-49VDE-180 — insulated diagonal cutting pliers 180 mm

NWS side cutters 180 VDE NW137-49VDE-180 — insulated diagonal cutting pliers 180 mm are precision cutting pliers designed for electrical work. With a total length of 180 mm and a VDE-rated insulated handle, these diagonal cutters are intended for cutting copper and aluminum wires, small pins and other similar conductors during installation, maintenance and repair tasks. The tool combines a compact size for working in confined spaces with hardened cutting edges for clean, reliable cuts.

Advantages

The pliers feature VDE-certified insulation to provide protection when working on live or potentially live electrical circuits up to the rated voltage. Hardened, precision-ground cutting edges ensure durable performance and reduce deformation of the cut conductor. The ergonomic insulated handles improve grip and control while minimising hand fatigue during repeated use. The compact 180 mm length allows access to tight areas where longer tools cannot reach.

Suitable for

• Copper and aluminium wire cutting during electrical installations
• Cutting small pins, terminals and cable ties in tight spaces
• Maintenance and repair work on household and industrial electrical systems
• Work by electricians, service technicians and installers

Key specifications

• Overall length: 180 mm
• Tool type: insulated diagonal cutting pliers (side cutters)
• Handle: VDE-rated insulated handles for electrical protection
• Cutting edges: hardened and precision-ground for clean cuts
• Material: forged steel construction for strength and durability
• Typical applications: cutting electrical conductors, pins and small metal parts

How to use

Position the conductor to be cut between the cutting edges near the fulcrum for the cleanest cut and apply steady pressure to the handles until the material is severed. For insulated electrical work, verify the VDE rating and ensure the circuit is de-energised when required by safety procedures before beginning work. Use the tips for access in confined spaces and avoid twisting or levering with the cutting edges to prevent damage. Inspect the cutting edges regularly and replace the tool if any damage or excessive wear is observed.

Использование и уход

Для сохранения изоляции не держите инструмент открытым вблизи источников тепла и проверяйте целостность изоляционного покрытия перед работой.
