RedLine 160mm VDE Insulated Side Cutters with Wire Stripping

The RedLine 160mm VDE Insulated Side Cutters with Wire Stripping are a high-performance, versatile tool designed for electricians and technicians working on live circuits. Combining powerful cutting action with safe, integrated wire stripping, these pliers are essential for construction, renewables, and industrial maintenance tasks where reliability and safety are paramount.

Certified and individually tested to 10,000V, they guarantee safe live working up to 1,000V, fully conforming to the IEC 60900:2004 standard. The ergonomic, two-component handles feature anti-slip horns for superior grip, control, and comfort, even during prolonged use. A key design improvement is the longer, rounded handles which incorporate 30% more material to provide greater leverage, significantly reducing hand fatigue.

For secure working at height, integrated tether connection points ensure compliance with both VDE and ANSI standards. The induction-hardened jaws, coupled with an optimised cutting geometry, deliver exceptional versatility with capacities for hard wire (2.0mm), medium-hard wire (2.8mm), and soft wire (up to 4.0mm). Dedicated stripping notches for 1.5mm² and 2.5mm² wires allow for effortless, damage-free wire preparation.
