Insulated high leverage diagonal cutter, VDE tested, chrome-plated, 160 mm - Knipex 74 06 160 SB

Anyone working on live parts needs pliers that bring insulation as well as cutting power. The high leverage diagonal cutter 74 06 160 SB is insulated and VDE tested, the catalogue lists it among the VDE tools for 1000 V to IEC 60900, and at 160 mm it stays handy inside tight distribution boards.

Benefits

• Insulated multi-component sleeves, VDE tested, so the tool is intended for work on live parts up to 1000 V.
• Cutting angle and leverage ratio are matched to each other, which gives high cutting performance at low effort.
• Precision cutting edges additionally induction-hardened to about 64 HRC, suitable for all wire types including piano wire.
• Built for very tough, continuous use, ready for daily work in the control cabinet and on site.
• Chrome-plated pliers, 160 mm overall length, SB version supplied in a self-service pack.

Areas of use

Electrical installation, control cabinet building, service and maintenance on systems where work is carried out on live parts. The short 160 mm body helps in cramped distribution boards, and the SB version is aimed at shelf and counter sale.

Standards and conformity

The article is listed in the catalogue under VDE tools 1000 V to IEC 60900, and the handles are stated as insulated and VDE tested. No test certificate with individual values for the packed variant is available, so only the classification is quoted here.

Note on the technical data

The manufacturer publishes no separate data page for the SB version. It differs from the base version 74 06 160 only in the self-service packaging. As weight, dimensions and EAN of the packed variant are not documented, this description deliberately carries no table of individual values.
