Diagonal pliers Wiha Z 14 1 06

The Wiha Z 14 1 06 diagonal pliers combine three functions in one compact tool for electrical installation work: diagonal cutting, stripping and skinning of cables and conductors. The angled head is designed to reach confined spaces such as junction and distribution boxes while allowing lengthwise stripping along the cable. The pliers have a chrome-plated surface for corrosion resistance and an ergonomic handle with soft and hard zones plus curved ends to prevent finger slippage. Each tool is individually tested to IEC 60900 and rated for safe use on live parts up to 1,000 V AC.

Advantages

The angled head simplifies work in hard-to-reach places and supports ergonomic, force-saving stripping. Chrome-plated jaws improve durability and resist corrosion. By combining diagonal cutters, stripping pliers and skinning pliers in one tool you save space and weight compared with carrying three separate tools. The handle design enhances grip and control. Individual testing to IEC 60900 provides certified protection for working on live installations up to 1,000 V AC.

Suitable for

• Cutting soft and hard wires and cables (including NYM lines)
• Flush stripping of round and moisture-proof cables
• Lengthwise skinning of conductors in confined spaces such as junction boxes

How to use

Use the diagonal cutting portion of the jaws to cut through soft or hard wires and small metal elements up to the specified capacity. For stripping, position the angled head along the cable and use a lengthwise motion to remove insulation cleanly; the angle allows easier access in tight locations. For skinning, hold the conductor steady and use the skinning function to remove outer sheaths. Maintain a controlled grip on the ergonomic handles to avoid slippage and ensure precise work.

Usage recommendations

Do not exceed the specified cutting capacity (max. 4 mm pipe/tube diameter) and inspect the tool regularly for wear or damage. Use the pliers only on live parts within the certified 1,000 V AC rating and follow applicable safety procedures when working on electrical installations.
