VDE Cable Shears – 180mm
The VDE Cable Shears – 180mm are professional-grade cutting pliers designed for the safe and efficient cutting of electrical cables in live working environments. Manufactured from hardened and tempered chrome vanadium steel, these expert-quality cable shears deliver strength, durability and reliable cutting performance for electricians, telecoms engineers and maintenance professionals.
The induction hardened, finely ground cutting edges provide clean, precise cuts while offering excellent wear resistance during regular use. A protective lacquer finish helps improve corrosion resistance, extending the working life of the tool in demanding site conditions. The compact 180mm length offers excellent control and manoeuvrability, making the shears suitable for working within electrical enclosures, distribution boards and confined installation spaces.
Fitted with heavy-duty, fully insulated soft grip handles, the cable shears have been tested to 10,000V and are certified for safe working on live circuits up to 1,000V AC or 1,500V DC. This makes them an ideal choice for professionals carrying out electrical installations, maintenance and repair work where safety is paramount.
