C.K Tools T39072A 180-RND Universal Combination Pliers VDE 1000V 180mm

Electricians and maintenance technicians working on live circuits up to 1000V AC rely on these combination pliers for gripping, bending, and cutting wires safely. The dynamic joint reduces hand fatigue during repetitive tasks, while the induction-hardened cutting edges slice through hard wire up to 2.2 mm, medium wire up to 3.4 mm, and soft wire up to 4.0 mm.
