Pliers Topex 1016-T insulated 1000V straight long nose 160mm (32D513)

Insulated straight long-nose pliers Topex 1016-T (32D513) are 160 mm hand tools rated for use on live electrical installations up to 1000 V. Designed with a slim, elongated jaw profile, these pliers provide the reach and precision required for gripping, bending and cutting small wires and components in confined spaces. The insulated handles reduce the risk of electric shock when working near energized circuits, while the hardened jaws deliver reliable mechanical performance for routine electrical and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

These insulated long-nose pliers combine electrical safety and fine manipulation: a narrow straight nose for access into tight areas, integrated cutting edges for trimming conductors, and ergonomic insulated grips for secure handling. Their 1000 V insulation rating meets common professional requirements for safe work on live equipment. The 160 mm overall length balances reach and control, allowing precise work without sacrificing handling comfort.

Suitable for

• Electrical installation and maintenance on live or potentially energized circuits
• Gripping, bending and shaping small wires and components in tight spaces
• Cutting soft and stranded conductors during wiring and repair tasks
• Precision manipulation for electronics assembly and repair where insulation is required

Key specifications

• Tool type: straight long-nose pliers with cutting edge
• Overall length: 160 mm
• Electrical insulation rating: 1000 V
• Jaw profile: slim, straight long nose for access to confined areas
• Handle: insulated grips designed for electrical safety and ergonomic hold
• Intended use: gripping, bending, cutting and precision manipulation of small conductors/components

How to use

Before use, visually inspect the insulation and gripping surfaces for damage, cracks or wear. Use the pliers to reach and hold small components, bend or shape wires with the jaw tips, and cut soft conductors using the integrated cutting edge. Apply steady, controlled force to avoid slippage; position the cutting edge close to the pivot for cleaner cuts. After use, store the pliers in a dry place away from chemicals and sharp tools to preserve the insulation and jaw condition.

Usage recommendations

Only use these pliers on energized equipment within their 1000 V rating and after confirming insulation integrity. Do not use insulated pliers as a substitute for appropriate personal protective equipment or safe working practices. Periodically test and inspect the tool according to workplace safety procedures and replace if insulation shows any damage.
