Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these pliers safe for all voltages?

No, they are rated for up to 1000V. Do not use them on systems exceeding this voltage.

What standards do these pliers meet?

They comply with NF ISO 5746, NF EN 60900, ISO 5746, EN 60900, DIN ISO 5746, DIN EN 60900, and ASME B107.500.

How long are the pliers?

The overall length is 165mm.

Can I use these for gripping heavy-duty bolts?

These are primarily designed for electrical work and wire manipulation. For heavy-duty mechanical bolting, use dedicated wrenches.

How heavy are they?

The pliers weigh approximately 95.2g.

What should I do if the insulation is scratched?

If the insulation is cut or damaged, you should no longer use the tool for live electrical work as the safety rating is compromised.

Troubleshooting

Jaws are not gripping correctly

Check for debris or metal buildup in the serrated area and clean with a stiff brush.

Difficulty making clean cuts

Verify that you are using the designated cutting area near the pivot point; if issues persist, inspect for dulling or nicks on the edge.

Handles feel slippery

Ensure the handle grips are free from oil, grease, or chemical solvents by wiping them down with a mild detergent.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified for 1000V safety
  • Extremely durable cutting edges over 60 HRc
  • Lightweight design at only 95.2g
  • Compact 165mm length for tight spaces
  • Professional-grade build quality

  • Not intended for heavy-duty industrial force
  • 165mm length may be too small for some larger hands
  • Fixed jaw design lacks multi-position adjustment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These pliers do not require any setup; they are ready for use immediately upon removal from packaging. Compatibility is universal for standard electrical work within the 1000V threshold. To maintain the life of the tool, avoid using the pliers as a hammer or pry bar, as this can damage the insulation or misalign the jaws. After use in industrial settings, wipe the jaws with a clean cloth to remove metal shavings or debris. Periodically inspect the insulated handles for cracks, nicks, or gouges; if the insulation is compromised, the tool must be retired from electrical service immediately to maintain safety standards.
