VDE Insulated Side Cutters

The Faithfull VDE Insulated Side Cutters are professional-grade diagonal cutters designed for safe electrical work on live circuits up to 1,000 volts AC. Manufactured from chrome vanadium steel, these VDE-rated side cutters undergo stringent high voltage testing in accordance with EN 60900:2012, ensuring compliance with UK electrical safety standards for professional electricians and contractors. These side cutters feature induction hardened cutting edges that deliver superior cutting performance and extended tool life when working with medium hard wires up to 1.6mm diameter. The Swedish pattern head design allows for precise cutting of wire close to flat surfaces, making these diagonal cutters ideal for confined spaces and detailed electrical installation work. Suitable for electrical contractors, maintenance engineers and industrial electricians working on live installations, these VDE insulated side cutters provide essential protection when working with mains voltage circuits. The combination of certified insulation and hardened cutting edges makes them a reliable choice for both new installation work and electrical maintenance tasks.
