X-Cut compact diagonal cutter VDE 1000 V, edges approx. 62 HRC, 160 mm - Knipex 73 06 160

Work on live parts calls for tested insulation, and at the same time the cutter should cope with hard wire. The KNIPEX X-Cut 73 06 160 combines both. The handles are tested to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900 for 1000 V, while the precision cutting edges are additionally induction-hardened to approx. 62 HRC and cut all types of wire including piano wire.
