The Bernstein 13-917 VDE Telephone Pliers are designed for electricians and technicians working with live electrical components up to 1000V AC or 1500V DC. Their key benefit is safe, precise manipulation of wires in confined spaces thanks to their straight, serrated jaws and integrated wire cutter. A potential caveat is the specific wire cutting capacity, which is limited to hard wire up to 1.6mm Ø.

VDE certified means the pliers have been tested and meet stringent safety standards (VDE EN 60900 / IEC 60900) for working on or near live electrical components up to 1000V AC or 1500V DC.
These pliers are designed to cut hard wire up to a diameter of 1.6mm.
Yes, they are suitable for electronics work due to their precise needle-nose design and ESD protection, which helps prevent static discharge damage to sensitive components.
Regularly clean the serrated jaws with a wire brush to remove any dirt, grease, or metal filings that can reduce their gripping effectiveness.
While the pliers can grip and hold wires, their primary function is not for twisting. However, the fine tip can be useful for initiating twists in small gauge wires.
They are rated for safe use with voltage up to 1000V AC or 1500V DC.
The overall length of the pliers is 200mm. The specific jaw length is not detailed but they are needle-nose pliers designed for precision work.
Clean the pivot joint and apply a small amount of light machine oil. Ensure no debris is caught in the joint.
Clean the serrated jaws with a wire brush to remove any grease or debris that might be hindering grip. Check for any visible damage to the teeth.
Ensure you are within the specified cutting capacity (hard wire up to 1.6mm Ø). Check the cutting edge for damage or dullness. If damaged, the cutting edge may need professional servicing or replacement.
Cease using the pliers immediately for live electrical work. The VDE rating is compromised. Inspect for cracks or significant wear and consider replacement.
Setup:
These pliers are ready for immediate use out of the box. Ensure the jaws are clean and free from any protective oil or debris before the first use.
Compatibility:
These pliers are designed for general electrical work and are compatible with working on circuits up to 1000V AC or 1500V DC. They are suitable for gripping and cutting hard wire up to 1.6mm Ø.
