Usage
The Wiha 1000V Multifunctional Cutting Pliers are designed for professional electrical installations, allowing safe cutting, gripping, stripping, crimping, and screw shortening near live circuits up to 1,000 V AC.
Advantages
- Combines eight essential functions in one tool: holding, bending, deburring, fastening screws/nuts, cutting cables/wires, stripping insulation (0.75–2.5 mm²), crimping (0.5–2.5 mm²), and shortening screws up to Ø3.3 mm.
- Rated and individually tested for safe operation up to 1,000 V AC according to IEC 60900 standards.
- Switchable opening spring enables fatigue-free work and easy single-handed use.
- Ergonomic two-component handles provide comfort and minimize hand strain during repetitive tasks.
- The compact multifunctional design saves space in the toolbox but may lack specialized performance of single-purpose tools in demanding applications.
Specifications
- Design/Materials: High-quality tool steel construction with induction-hardened cutting edges; ergonomic dual-material handle; integrated switchable opening spring.
- Durability/Certifications: Individually tested per IEC 60900 for use on live circuits up to 1,000 V AC; corrosion-resistant finish enhances longevity.
- Measurable Performance: Cleanly cuts copper/aluminum cables up to Ø15 mm or max cross-section of approx. 5 x 2.5 mm²; strips wire sizes between 0.75–2.5 mm²; crimps ferrules from 0.5–2.5 mm²; shortens device screws up to Ø3.3 mm; overall length: approx. 209 x 100 x 32 mm;
- Differentiating Features: Eight-in-one functionality specifically tailored for electricians’ needs—deburring surface inside jaw head for box fitting prep work and multiple gripping/surface geometries allow efficient handling of diverse materials or fasteners.
How it works
To operate the Wiha Multifunctional Cutting Pliers: select the required function—gripping surfaces grip or twist wires/materials securely while shaped jaws bend loops or deburr boxes as needed—the integrated cutter severs conductors cleanly while dedicated sections strip insulation or crimp ferrules efficiently on site with one reliable insulated tool.
