Diagonal pliers Wiha Z 01 0 06 / Z 01 0 09

Diagonal pliers Wiha Z 01 0 06 / Z 01 0 09 are made from high-quality C 70 tool steel, tempered for durability. These insulated pliers are designed for general-purpose gripping, holding and cutting of soft and hard wires and cables, and are suitable for work on or around electrical components up to 1,000 V AC. The tool complies with DIN ISO 5746 and is manufactured according to IEC 60900:2012.

Advantages

OptiGrip gripping surface with triple-point support provides a secure hold on the workpiece while working; cutting edges are induction hardened to approximately 64 HRC for extended life. The Wiha DynamicJoint® improves force transmission from the hand to the cutting edges, reducing the effort required for cutting. Each plier is individually tested at 10,000 V AC to verify insulation.

Suitable for

• Cutting soft and hard wires and cables
• Gripping and holding components during electrical work
• Use on or around electrical installations up to 1,000 V AC
• Precision cutting tasks in professional and DIY environments

How to use

Use the diagonal pliers to grip, hold or cut wires by placing the conductor close to the cutting edge and applying steady pressure to the handles. For insulated electrical work, ensure the tool’s insulation is intact and that you follow proper safety procedures. The extra-long cutting edge is suitable for both flat and round cables; position the cable perpendicular to the jaws for a clean cut. Keep the pliers clean and free of debris to maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the tool and its insulation before each use; do not use if insulation is damaged. Use only within the rated voltage (up to 1,000 V AC) and for the intended tasks. For prolonged tool life, avoid cutting hardened steel unless specified otherwise and store the pliers dry to prevent corrosion.
