The NWS VDE Combination Pliers (180mm) are designed for electricians and technicians working with live electrical circuits up to 1000V. Their primary benefit is safe, reliable performance in high-risk environments, though they are not intended for extremely heavy-duty cutting tasks. These pliers offer a versatile tool for gripping, cutting, and tightening, featuring VDE insulation, induction-hardened blades, a titanium finish, and integrated functions like a ring spanner and nail holder.

VDE rated signifies that the tool has been tested and certified by the Verband der Elektrotechnik Elektronik Informationstechnik e.V. (VDE) for safe use on live electrical circuits up to 1000 volts AC or 1500 volts DC.
They are designed to cut soft wires (e.g., insulated electrical wires) and medium-hard wires (e.g., some types of cable strands). The maximum cutting capacity for hard wire is 2.2mm and for medium-hard wire is 3.4mm.
The ring spanner function is specifically designed for nuts up to M10 (18mm AF - Across Flats). It is not suitable for larger nuts or specialized bolt heads.
The titanium finish is inherently corrosion-resistant. Regular cleaning with a dry cloth and occasional light oiling of moving parts will help maintain its appearance and function.
The ring spanner function is designed to accommodate nuts up to M10, which corresponds to 18mm across the flats (AF).
While combination pliers can sometimes be used for stripping in a pinch, these specific pliers do not have a dedicated wire stripping feature. They are primarily for cutting, gripping, and the ring spanner function.
Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty documentation or the retailer's policy for specific warranty information, as this is not provided in the product description.
Apply a small amount of tool oil to the pivot joint and work the pliers back and forth to loosen them. Ensure no debris is obstructing the joint.
Inspect the blades for any nicks or foreign material. Clean the blades thoroughly. If damage is significant, professional sharpening or replacement may be needed. Ensure you are within the specified cutting capacities (2.2mm hard wire, 3.4mm medium-hard wire).
Do not use the pliers on live electrical circuits. Inspect carefully for any cracks or tears. If damage is found, the tool is no longer safe for VDE applications and should be replaced or professionally inspected.
Ensure the nut size is within the M10 (18mm AF) limit. Clean both the nut and the spanner jaws. For larger or awkwardly shaped nuts, use a dedicated spanner.
Setup: These pliers are ready for use out of the box. No assembly or setup is required.
Compatibility: Designed for use on electrical installations up to 1000V. Compliant with DIN ISO 5746.
