NWS Side Cutters - 160mm

VDE rated signifies that the tool has been tested and certified by the VDE Institute (Verband der Elektrotechnik Elektronik Informationstechnik e.V.) to meet strict safety standards for use on electrical installations up to 1000 volts.

The induction-hardened blades are designed for cutting both hard and soft wires effectively. However, for extremely hard materials or wires exceeding the tool's capacity, the cutting edge may be damaged.

It is recommended to inspect the insulation before each use, especially if the tool has been stored or used in challenging conditions.

Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information or the retailer's policy for details on the warranty period.

Yes, they can be used for general-purpose wire cutting, but their primary benefit and safety feature are for electrical work up to 1000V.

The NWS side cutters weigh approximately 210g.

Clean the pivot joint and apply a small amount of light machine oil. Ensure no debris is obstructing the joint.

Inspect the induction-hardened blades for wear or damage. Ensure you are cutting the appropriate wire type and size for the tool. For significant wear, replacement may be necessary.

Immediately cease using the tool for live electrical work. The insulation is compromised and poses a safety risk. Replace the tool if it is intended for VDE-rated work.
