Short Description

The VDE Wire Stripping Plier VDEWS 6 is a specialized safety tool designed for the fast, precise removal of plastic or rubber insulation from single, multiple, and fine-stranded conductors, featuring certified 1000V insulation for live-wire protection.

Long Description

Forged from high-performance 60 Cr-V (Chrome Vanadium) steel, the VDEWS 6 is engineered to provide a clean strip without damaging the underlying wire core. It features a precision-machined V-shaped cutting jaw that is easily adjustable via a knurled brass locking screw, allowing the user to set the exact diameter for the wire being processed (up to 5 mm or 10 mm² cross-section). Each unit is individually tested to meet rigorous VDE and GS safety standards, ensuring reliable protection against electrical shocks up to 1000V AC.

The tool is equipped with a high-tension opening spring that automatically resets the jaws after each strip, significantly improving efficiency during repetitive wiring tasks. The specialized dual-component insulated handles include integrated slip guards to ensure a safe barrier between the operator's hand and the non-insulated metal head. Finished with a professional anti-corrosion coating, this tool is an essential asset for any professional electrical installation kit.

Why Choose This Product?

Choose the VDEWS 6 for its combination of safety and mechanical precision. Unlike standard cutters, the adjustable locking mechanism ensures you only cut the insulation and never the conductor, preserving the integrity of the electrical connection. Its high-strength Chrome Vanadium construction and certified 1000V protection make it the definitive choice for electricians who require a durable, specialized tool for live-circuit preparation.
