NWS 150mm VDE Insulated Heavy Duty Side Cutters

NWS 150mm VDE Insulated Heavy Duty Side Cutters are fully insulated heavy-duty side cutters, VDE-tested to 1000V, for live electrical work. They have a maximum cutting capacity of 3 mm and are designed for professional electricians and technicians.

Overview

These side cutters are made from special forged tool steel, with inductively hardened cutting edges for long-lasting durability. The precision-ground edge is capable of cutting tough materials such as piano wire, thanks to the D2 quality steel. The full flush blade edge allows precise, close cutting, which suits intricate wiring tasks.

Comfort and Safety

The handles are fitted with multi-component SoftGripp safety sleeves, which provide a comfortable and slip-resistant grip. The sleeves conform to the DIN EN/IEC 60900 standard for hand-held insulating sleeves. The handles are shaped to transfer power with optimum leverage, which can help reduce user fatigue during prolonged use.

An integrated SystemSocket allows optional accessories to be attached, such as the SystemClip for fall protection.
