Insulation stripping pliers VDE 160mm 211214

Professional tool for precise wire stripping

VDE insulated wire strippers with a length of 160 mm are a reliable tool designed for both professional use and demanding home users. Made of C45 carbon steel, oil-hardened, they provide durability and resistance to damage. Their construction is designed with safety and efficiency in mind when working on electrical installations.

Design and functionality

These pliers have an adjustable cutting depth, allowing for precise adjustment to different wire insulation thicknesses. The stripping range is from 0.2 to 6 mm, making them versatile in application. They are also equipped with a spring and a set screw, making work easier and ensuring repeatability of results. The chrome finish increases corrosion resistance, and the slip-on cover provides comfort. The two-component handle improves grip and minimizes fatigue during prolonged use.

Safety and compliance with standards

A key feature of these pliers is the VDE certificate, confirming their compliance with strict safety standards. This means that the tool has been tested and approved for use under voltages up to 1000V. This provides protection against electric shock and guarantees safe operation in demanding conditions. Additionally, the handle insulation protects the user from accidental contact with live wires.

Worth knowing: Characteristic C allows them to react more slowly to short current surges, therefore they tolerate starting devices with a motor well. They protect the circuit against overload and short circuit - like most circuit breakers in this class.
