• Insulated for Electrical Work – The handles are insulated to protect against electrical shock for voltages up to 1000 V AC and 1500 V DC • Dedicated Wire Cutters – The pliers have a 0.9 inch cutting capacity for a variety of wire and cable sizes • Hardened Cutting Knives – The wire cutter has two opposing knives that meet in the center and are induction-hardened to 59 - 63 HRC • Flared Handles – The tops of the handles are flared to give your hand a positive stop to push against without slipping towards the conductive head of the pliers • Materials – The body of the pliers is made of drop-forged steel that's oil-hardened to 43 - 45 HRC and enamel-coated, the yellow handle core is made of hard polypropylene, and the red handle overmold is made of soft, grippy thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)
Tekton insulated pliers have insulated handles to protect against electrical shock for voltages up to 1000 V AC and 1500 V DC. They are individually tested and VDE certified in accordance with IEC 60900. The pliers have a 0.9 inch cutting capacity for a variety of wire and cable sizes. Two opposing knives meet in the center, offering clean wire cuts with less effort. The tops of the handles are flared to give your hand a positive stop to push against without slipping towards the conductive head of the pliers. The body of the pliers is made of drop-forged steel that's oil-hardened to 43 - 45 HRC and enamel-coated. The cutting knives are induction-hardened to 59 - 63 HRC. The yellow handle core is made of hard polypropylene and the red handle overmold is made of soft, grippy thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).
