The Stanley FATMAX VDE Diagonal Pliers are designed for electricians and professionals working near live circuits up to 1,000 volts. Their key benefit is enhanced safety and control due to VDE testing and bi-material handles, with a potential caveat being their specific voltage rating which should not be exceeded. These 175mm diagonal cutting pliers are forged from heat-treated high chrome steel for durability, featuring hand-ground induction-hardened blades for accuracy and a smooth interlocking joint assembly for efficient cutting. The bi-material handles offer a secure grip, and slip guard shoulders provide added safety during use.
