Working on live electrical installations demands tools that offer verified protection against shock hazard. The Knipex 70 06 160 VDE Diagonal Cutter addresses this requirement with insulation rated to 1,000V AC and 1,500V DC, and testing to 10,000V in accordance with EN 60900, making it suitable for live line working on conductors up to those thresholds. The cutter is manufactured from vanadium electric steel, oil hardened and tempered throughout, and follows the Swedish pattern with smoothly ground, chrome plated heads. The cutting edges are separately induction hardened to 62 HRC, enabling the tool to cut hard, medium-hard, and soft wires with consistent precision across the 160mm overall length. Safety at the grip is provided by heavy two-colour insulated handles fitted with slip guards, reducing the risk of inadvertent movement during use. The tool is manufactured to DIN ISO 5749 specifications and tested to EN 60900, ensuring compliance with recognised international standards for insulated hand tools. Supplied as a single Knipex 70 06 160 SBE Fully Insulated Diagonal Side Cutter, 160mm, display packed for retail or workshop environments.
