FAQs

What does 'VDE Tested' mean?

VDE testing indicates that the tool has been rigorously tested and certified by the VDE Institute to meet stringent safety standards for working on or near live electrical circuits.

What is the maximum voltage these pliers can be safely used on?

These pliers are tested to 10,000V and are suitable for working on live circuits of 1,000V AC and 1,500V DC.

Can I use these for stripping wire?

These are diagonal-cutting pliers designed for cutting. They are not designed for stripping wire insulation.

What is the purpose of the horns on the handle?

The horns are designed to prevent the user's hand from accidentally slipping onto the conductive parts of the tool when working near live circuits.

Is the tool lanyard included?

No, the tool lanyard and wrist strap must be purchased separately to comply with Work at Height Regulations.

What is the warranty on this product?

Draper Expert tools come with a Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects.

What is the maximum wire diameter these can cut?

The maximum cutting capacity for these pliers is 2.0mm.

Troubleshooting

Jaws are stiff or difficult to move.

Check for debris in the pivot area and clean with a dry cloth. If stiffness persists, a small amount of light machine oil may be applied to the pivot.

Cutting is not clean or requires excessive force.

Ensure the wire is within the maximum cutting capacity (2.0mm). Inspect the jaws for damage or dullness. Clean the jaws thoroughly.

Handle grip feels slippery.

Wipe the handles with a dry cloth. Ensure hands are also clean and dry before use. Avoid contact with oils or greases.

Tethering point feels loose.

Inspect the fixing point for any damage. Ensure the lanyard or wrist strap is correctly attached and secured according to the lanyard manufacturer's instructions.

  • VDE testing provides confidence when working near live circuits.
  • Ergonomic handle design enhances comfort and safety.
  • Tethering point helps prevent falls from height.
  • Precision engineering allows for clean, effortless cuts.

Cons

  • Lanyard for tethering must be purchased separately.
  • Maximum cutting capacity of 2.0mm may be insufficient for thicker wires.
