Cable cutter Gedore 1742582 weight 231 g

The Gedore 1742582 cable cutter is a double-function electricians' side cutter designed for precise cutting and wire stripping. It features stripping holes for single- and multi-core conductors of 1.5 and 2.5 mm2 and induction-hardened precision cutting edges. Made from Gedore special hardened and tempered steel with chrome plating, the tool combines durability and corrosion resistance. Handles are fitted with VDE insulating sleeves rated up to 1000 V according to EN 60900 / IEC 60900. The tool weighs 231 g and is suitable for professional and DIY use.

Advantages

Induction-hardened cutting edges provide long-lasting sharpness for precise cuts. The integrated stripping holes allow quick removal of insulation from 1.5 and 2.5 mm2 conductors without additional tools. Gedore special hardened and tempered steel with chrome plating ensures durability and resistance to wear and corrosion. VDE-certified insulating sleeves protect against electrical shock up to 1000 V, meeting EN 60900 / IEC 60900 safety standards.

Key specifications

How to use

Place the conductor into the appropriate stripping hole (1.5 mm2 or 2.5 mm2) and rotate gently while applying light pressure to remove insulation without damaging the core. For cutting, position the cable between the cutting edges near the tool joint and squeeze the handles evenly until the conductor is severed. Use the insulated handles when working on live or potentially live circuits, and follow standard electrical safety procedures including de-energising circuits when possible.

Recommendations

Inspect the tool before use for signs of wear or damage, especially the cutting edges and insulation sleeves. Keep cutting edges clean and lightly oiled to prevent corrosion. Do not exceed the specified conductor sizes for stripping. For work on live circuits, ensure compliance with local safety regulations and use appropriate personal protective equipment.
