FAQs

What is VDE certification?

VDE certification indicates that the pliers have been tested and approved for safety when working on live electrical circuits.

What cable sizes can the cable shears cut?

The cable shears can cut copper and aluminum cables up to 5 x 2.5mm² / dia. 15mm.

What types of wires can be stripped?

The stripping holes are designed for conductors of 0.75 - 1.5mm² and 2.5mm².

What is the warranty on these pliers?

Warranty information is not available in the product data.

Can I use these pliers for other tasks besides electrical work?

While these pliers have multiple functions, they are primarily designed for electrical installation tasks. Using them for other purposes may compromise their performance or damage them.

How do I maintain the cutting edges?

Keep the cutting edges clean and free of debris. Avoid cutting materials that are not within the pliers' specifications.

Troubleshooting

Pliers are difficult to open and close.

Ensure the bolted joint is not too tight. Loosen slightly if necessary, but ensure the pliers are still secure.

Cable shears are not cutting cleanly.

Check the cable size to ensure it is within the pliers' cutting capacity. Also, inspect the cutting edges for damage.

Crimping results in a loose connection.

Ensure the correct wire-end ferrule size is used. Check the crimp die for wear or damage. Replace the pliers if necessary.
