This high-quality side cutter is designed for professional electrical work. It is manufactured from premium steel forged in Germany for durability and performance, with induction-hardened jaws that provide clean, precise cuts and long-lasting sharpness.

It supports working on live circuits up to 1,000 V AC and 1,500 V DC, and features a tethered fixing solution for safety compliance (lanyard and wrist strap sold separately). Ready to use straight out of the box, no installation is required. The design includes off-centred, precision-machined pivot pins for smooth, one-handed operation, and an ergonomic two-part bi-material soft grip handle for comfort and secure handling.
