Insulated VDE 1000V Universal Pliers STAHLWILLE 160 mm (model 610421)

Insulated VDE 1000V Universal Pliers STAHLWILLE 160 mm (model 610421) are designed for safe electrical work on live circuits up to 1000 volts. These universal pliers combine a compact 160 mm length with a certified insulating coating on the handles, hardened cutting edges and multi-purpose gripping jaws. The tool is intended for gripping, bending and cutting of wires and small components in electrical installation, maintenance and industrial environments where electrical safety and precision are required.

Advantages

The insulated handles carry VDE certification for insulation up to 1000 V, providing protection when working near live parts. Hardened cutting edges ensure reliable cutting of copper and aluminium conductors and maintain edge retention over repeated use. The compact 160 mm design improves access in confined spaces and the universal jaw profile offers secure gripping and bending performance for a range of wire diameters. The pliers are built to the quality standards of STAHLWILLE, combining durability with consistent mechanical properties.

How to use

Use the STAHLWILLE insulated universal pliers to grip, bend or cut conductors by positioning the wire in the jaws or on the cutting edge as appropriate. Ensure the insulating handle coating is intact before use and do not exceed the rated voltage of 1000 V. For cutting, place the conductor close to the hinge for maximum leverage and apply steady pressure. For bending or gripping, use the serrated jaw surfaces to hold the component securely while working. After use, inspect the insulation and cutting edges for damage and store the pliers in a dry, secure place.

Usage recommendations

Always verify the insulation integrity before working on live circuits and follow applicable safety regulations. Do not use the pliers if the insulating coating is damaged or contaminated with solvents; clean and maintain according to manufacturer guidance. Use the correct tool size and type for the task to preserve both safety and tool life.
