Cable cutter wiha 210 mm, VDE insulated, for cables up to 60 mm² (43662)

Handheld cable cutter Wiha 43662 with VDE-rated insulation is designed for safe cutting of copper and aluminium electrical conductors. With a compact 210 mm overall length and a cutting capacity up to 60 mm², this tool provides controlled, precise cuts in confined spaces while meeting the insulation requirements for live working environments. The cutter combines hardened cutting edges and an ergonomic handle profile to balance cutting performance and user comfort for professional electricians and technicians.

Advantages

The VDE insulation on the handles reduces the risk of electrical shock when working near live parts, providing a standardized level of safety for electrical tasks. The cutting jaws are heat-treated for durability and maintain sharpness over repeated use, ensuring clean cuts in both copper and aluminium conductors. Its 210 mm length offers improved accessibility in tight installations and on cable harnesses, while the well-shaped handles provide reliable grip and control during cutting operations.

Suitable for

• Cutter for copper and aluminium cables up to 60 mm² cross-section
• Electrical installation and maintenance tasks in residential and commercial settings
• Cable preparation and repair work in confined spaces
• Field service work by electricians and technicians requiring insulated tools

Key specifications

• Cutting capacity: up to 60 mm²
• Overall length: 210 mm
• Insulation: VDE-rated insulated handles for electrical safety
• Materials: hardened cutting edges suitable for copper and aluminium conductors
• Ergonomics: contoured handles for improved grip and control

How to use

Inspect the cutter for any visible damage and ensure the insulating handles are intact before use. Position the cable between the cutting jaws at the required point, apply steady pressure on the handles until the conductor is fully severed, and avoid twisting motions that could nick the blades. For larger diameter conductors approach the cut progressively if necessary, making controlled cuts rather than forcing a single stroke. After cutting, clean any debris from the jaws and store the tool in a dry place away from corrosive agents.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and confirm that circuits are de-energized where possible. For work near live parts rely on the VDE insulation as part of a comprehensive safety routine, but do not use the tool as the sole means of protection. Regularly check cutting edges for wear and arrange professional sharpening or replacement when cuts become less clean.
