Diagonaal-zijkniptang Bosch Professional 160 mm VDE-geïsoleerde grepen rood/geel

Diagonal Side Cutters Bosch Professional 160 mm VDE insulated handles red/yellow are compact cutting pliers designed for electrical installation and maintenance work. With a 160 mm overall length and VDE-rated insulation on the red/yellow handles, these side cutters combine mechanical cutting performance with protection against electrical hazards. The tool is intended for cutting copper and aluminium wires, cable ties and small components in confined spaces where a compact, precise tool is required.

Advantages

The 160 mm length provides improved access in tight spaces while maintaining cutting leverage for clean cuts. VDE-insulated handles are tested to provide protection against electrical shock up to the rated voltage, making the tool suitable for use on live circuits within the specified safety limits. Hardened cutting edges deliver durable performance and resist deformation when cutting soft and medium-hard conductors. The ergonomic handle shape supports comfortable grip and control during repetitive tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting copper and aluminium electrical wires
• Trimming component leads and cable ties in electrical panels
• Work in confined spaces where a compact cutter is needed
• General electrical installation, servicing and maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Tool type: diagonal side cutters
• Handle insulation: VDE-rated insulated handles (red/yellow)
• Cutting edge: hardened cutting blades for durable performance
• Material: alloyed steel body with heat-treated cutting edges
• Intended use: cutting wires and small components

How to use

Position the cutting edges around the conductor or component to be cut, close to the insulation or mounting point for a clean cut. Apply steady pressure on the handles until the cutting edges sever the material. For insulated conductors, ensure the VDE insulation rating matches the working voltage and inspect handles for damage before use. Do not use the tool to cut hardened steel, bolts, or material beyond the intended capacity to avoid damage to the cutting edges.

Recommendations

Verify the VDE insulation rating against the system voltage before use and routinely inspect handles and cutting edges for wear or damage. Store the tool in a dry place and avoid exposure to corrosive substances. For prolonged performance, have the cutting edges serviced or replaced according to manufacturer guidance.
