Knipex VDE Dismantling Pliers, 165mm, 1000V Insulated

The Knipex 13 46 Series VDE Dismantling Pliers are a high-quality, versatile tool designed for professionals in electrical work. These pliers feature multi-component grips, are VDE tested up to 10,000V, and are safe for work up to 1,000V, conforming to DIN EN / IEC 60900. The precision-engineered design ensures safe stripping of round sheathed and damp-proof installation cables (e.g., NYM cable) without causing damage, thanks to the circular cutting edge with depth limiter.

Crafted from forged vanadium electric steel and multi-stage oil-hardened, the head provides exceptional durability and resistance to wear. The cutting edges are induction hardened to approximately 61 HRC for high wear resistance. The slim head design and optimally angled cable sheath cutter allow for easy access into deep-mounted junction boxes, making these pliers ideal for precision work in tight spaces.

Key features also include a side cutter for trimming conductors, wires, small screws, and nails. These pliers are 30% lighter than comparable models, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged use. They are suitable for universal applications, with precision wire stripping holes for conductors ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 mm².
