Product Description
Small CCTV systems often end up wired inside cramped places: a network cabinet, a distribution board, a control panel with a recorder and power supply squeezed in together. The VDE Insulated Long Nose Pliers 8" 1000V – OPT (model OPT LN-118V, also listed as N140-49-VDE-170C) are built for reaching into that sort of space.
What you get
- 8 inch long nose pliers with slim, tapered jaws for gripping, positioning and bending wire in confined spaces.
- Handle insulation good for up to 1000V AC. It is VDE certified and meets IEC 60900, the standard covering insulated tools for electricians.
- Hardened chrome vanadium steel body, chosen for durability and resistance to wear.
- Induction hardened cutting edges, meaning the edges are heat-treated to stay sharp. They are intended for copper conductors, soft wire and thinner electrical cables.
- Ergonomic, anti-slip handle covering.
Worth checking first
The cutters suit small-gauge copper and soft wire, so think of these as precision pliers rather than a tool for thick cable. The 1000V figure is an AC rating for low voltage electrical work. Insulated handles add a layer of protection, but they don't replace isolating a supply when the job calls for it.
