Cutting Side Pliers STAHLWILLE 140 mm VDE 1000 V model 610426

Cutting Side Pliers STAHLWILLE 140 mm VDE 1000 V model 610426 are compact insulated side-cutting pliers designed for safe cutting and trimming of wires and small components in electrical installations. With a 140 mm overall length, these STAHLWILLE pliers combine a narrow head for access in confined spaces and precision cutting edges suitable for copper and aluminium conductors as well as small hardware. The VDE insulation is tested to provide protection when working near live parts up to the rated 1000 V, supporting compliance with safety practices in professional electrical work.

Advantages

These STAHLWILLE side cutting pliers feature hardened and precisely ground cutting edges for clean cuts and long tool life, while the VDE-certified insulation reduces the risk of electric shock during work on energized circuits up to the indicated voltage. The compact 140 mm design offers improved control and access in tight spaces, and the ergonomic handle profile supports sustained use by electricians and technicians. Construction materials and finishing are selected to maintain cutting performance and dimensional stability under repeated use.

Suitable for

• Cutting and trimming insulated and bare wires in electrical installations
• Maintenance and repair tasks on electrical equipment where insulated tools are required
• Work in confined spaces where a compact side cutter is needed
• Professional electricians, service technicians and industrial maintenance personnel

Key specifications

• Overall length: 140 mm
• Tool type: side cutting pliers (diagonal cutters)
• Insulation: VDE insulated handles rated to 1000 V
• Cutting edges: hardened and ground cutting blades suitable for copper and aluminium conductors
• Handle: ergonomic, insulating material for electrical safety

How to use

Hold the pliers by the insulated handles and position the cutting edges around the conductor or component to be cut. Apply steady pressure to close the jaws until the conductor is severed, avoiding twisting motions that could damage the cutting edge. For insulated conductors, ensure the insulation rating and condition are appropriate and do not exceed the rated 1000 V when working on live circuits. After cutting, inspect the cutting edges for nicks or deformation and clean off debris to maintain performance.

Usage recommendations

Use these pliers only as insulated hand tools for electrical work up to the specified 1000 V. Regularly inspect the insulation for cuts, abrasions or other damage before work. Do not use the tool as a hammer, pry bar or on live voltages exceeding the rated insulation. Keep cutting edges sharp and store in a dry place to prolong service life.
