VDE CERTIFIED
PLIERS &
CUTTERS
KNIPEX pliers fulfil the highest
expectations in terms of performance,
ergonomics and service life. Products
are designed to meet the requirements
of professional users who must be able
to rely on their tools day in, day out.
This is no more evident than in their VDE
Certified Pliers and Cutters, where every
tool is individually tested for dielectric
strength at 10,000V AC ensuring a safety
buffer up to ten times the permitted
maximum limit*. In addition, KNIPEX
VDE Pliers and Cutters are checked for the
reliability of the insulation under heat,
cold tensile and impact forces and meet
German DIN VDE 0105 and International
EN 50110 and EC60900 standards, and
bear the 1000V approval mark. Whilst the
insulation provides safety when used in
electrical installations, the pliers are also
manufactured to extremely high standards
using top quality, high grade steel correctly
hardened and tempered to ensure superb
performance and reliability when cutting,
gripping, stripping or crimping and the
ergonomic handles provide ultimate
comfort in use. KNIPEX are continuously
looking to develop new and improved
products that are better to work with,
easier to use and offer practical work
solutions, so talk to us about our full range.
