Usage
The Wiha Professional 1000V 160mm cutter is designed for safely cutting hard and soft wires in electrical or general-purpose applications. Suitable for work near live components up to 1,000 V AC, it is ideal for electricians and maintenance professionals.[1][4][5]
Advantages
- Tested individually at 10,000 V AC and certified for use up to 1,000 V AC according to IEC 60900[1][5]
- DynamicJoint® technology delivers optimal force transmission, reducing cutting effort by up to 40%[1][5]
- Precision semi-circular head provides clean cut edges on wires[1][5]
- Ergonomic insulated handles ensure comfortable and fatigue-free operation[1][5]
- The robust chrome-plated finish enhances resistance to corrosion for a longer service life[1][5]
Specifications
- Design & Material: Length: 160 mm; high-quality tool steel with induction-hardened cutting edges (approx. HRC ~64); chrome-plated anti-corrosion surface; ergonomic two-component insulated grips.[4][5]
- Sustainability & Certification: Individually tested as per IEC/EN/VDE standards (IEC 60900); rated safe for live work up to 1000 V AC.[1][7]
- Cutter Performance: Suitable for both hard and soft wire types; precision geometry enables efficient power transfer with less hand force required (up to -40% effort). Clean cuts due to semi-round polished head design.[1][5]
- Differentiators: DynamicJoint® increases efficiency compared to standard pliers; long-term comfort from ergonomic grip shape; high durability through corrosion-resistant plating.
How it works
The user positions the material between the hardened jaws of the pliers. With minimal hand force—thanks to DynamicJoint® technology—the blades deliver precise cuts on cables or wires. The insulating handle protects against electrical shock when working near energized equipment.[1][4][5]
