Pliers NWS bent telephone insulated 170 mm NW141-49VDE170 for electrical work

Bent telephone pliers NWS NW141-49VDE170 are 170 mm long insulated hand tools designed for electrical work. The curved jaws offer improved access in confined spaces and precise grip on wires, terminals and small components. Insulation on the handles is rated for protection during work on live electrical installations, combining safe handling with the mechanical advantage of a compact plier design.

Advantages

The bent jaw profile enables controlled gripping and bending of wires in tight or recessed areas without obstructing the operator's view. A compact 170 mm length increases maneuverability in switchboards and junction boxes. Insulated handles reduce the risk of electric shock when used within the insulation rating, while the ergonomic grips provide a secure hold for repetitive tasks. Hardened jaws maintain shape and cutting edges for consistent performance over time.

Suitable for

• Gripping, bending and manipulating insulated and bare conductors in electrical installations
• Working in tight spaces such as switchgear, junction boxes and control cabinets
• Precision handling of small components, terminals and connectors
• Maintenance and repair tasks where insulated hand tools are required

Key specifications

• Overall length: 170 mm
• Bent/curved telephone-style jaws for confined-space access
• Insulated handles suitable for electrical work (insulation rating applied by manufacturer)
• Ergonomic grips for secure handling
• Hardened working jaws for durability and reliable gripping

How to use

Hold the pliers by the insulated handles and position the curved jaws around the conductor, terminal or component to be gripped. Use the bent jaw angle to reach into confined areas and apply steady hand pressure to bend, pull or hold the part. For cutting or stripping operations, align the appropriate jaw edge to the wire at the recommended working point. Always observe the manufacturer's guidance on the insulation rating and do not exceed the specified limits for live working.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the insulation and tool condition before each use; do not use if the insulating layer is damaged. Use only within the insulation voltage and safety ratings provided by the tool manufacturer, and combine with proper personal protective equipment when working on live or potentially live circuits.
