Wiha 300 mm VDE insulated cable cutter with two-stage ratchet, IEC 60900 tested to 1,000 V AC, and emergency release for live cable work.
Wiha 12 inch (300mm) VDE Insulated Cable Cutter is a fully insulated cable cutter for electricians and technicians working on live cables, with a 300 mm overall length and a two-stage ratchet mechanism.
Overview
The cutter has a two-stage ratchet mechanism that reduces the force needed to cut through copper and aluminium conductors, which helps to reduce user fatigue during repetitive tasks. Soft, non-slip handles with a slip guard provide a secure hold and support one-handed operation.
Safety
The cutter is fully insulated and tested to IEC 60900, which covers safe work on live parts up to 1,000 V AC. An emergency release function allows a cut to be interrupted at any point, so the cable can be removed from the jaws if required. A locking lever on the plier head holds the tool closed for compact storage and transport.
Cutting Performance
The precision-ground blades are designed to cut without crushing, producing smooth, burr-free terminations on stranded cables. This supports reliable electrical connections during installation, maintenance, and repair work where cable integrity is important.
