These Faithfull VDE Combination Pliers are designed for electricians and professionals working with live electrical circuits up to 1,000 volts AC. Their key benefit is safe operation around electricity, combined with versatile gripping and cutting capabilities. A caveat to consider is their specific cutting capacity for medium-hard wire, not heavy-duty materials. Manufactured from chrome vanadium steel, these 180mm pliers feature induction-hardened cutting edges and undergo stringent VDE testing.
