Crimping/stripping tool Wiha TriCut Installationszange Professional electric Z 14 1 01 — cuts, strips, and insulates for live parts up to 1,000 V AC

The Wiha TriCut Installationszange Professional electric Z 14 1 01 is a compact multifunction hand tool designed for cutting, stripping and crimping insulated conductors while working on live parts rated up to 1,000 V AC. Combining three operations in a single instrument, this tool is intended for electricians and technicians who perform installation, repair and maintenance of electrical systems where safe handling of energized circuits is required. The tool’s design reduces tool changes and supports efficient wiring workflows without sacrificing safety when used according to applicable insulation and safety standards.

Advantages

This TriCut tool integrates cutting, stripping and crimping into one ergonomic device, enabling faster cable preparation and fewer work interruptions. The insulated design permits use on live parts up to 1,000 V AC, helping to reduce risk when working on energized circuits if used with appropriate personal protective equipment. The compact form factor improves access in confined spaces and simplifies storage in service kits. Robust construction provides consistent mechanical performance for professional daily use.

Suitable for

• Preparation and termination of single-core and multi-core insulated conductors during electrical installations
• Maintenance and repair of building wiring, control panels and distribution systems
• On-site service work where access is limited and tool changes should be minimized
• Situations requiring work on energized circuits up to 1,000 V AC with appropriate safety measures

Key specifications

• Functions: cutting, stripping, crimping (insulating/absolating)
• Insulation rating: suitable for live parts up to 1,000 V AC when used correctly
• Design: compact, single-tool construction for multifunction cable processing
• Ergonomics: shaped handles for reduced hand fatigue during repetitive tasks
• Material and durability: professional-grade mechanical components for frequent use

How to use

Position the conductor in the appropriate cutting, stripping or crimping section of the tool according to conductor diameter and insulation type, then operate the handles to complete the chosen action. For stripping, align the insulation to the designated stripping notch and pull the insulation off while maintaining a firm grip on the conductor. For crimping or insulating terminations, place the ferrule or terminal into the crimping area and compress the handles evenly to achieve a secure connection. For cutting, place the conductor in the cutting jaw and close the handles until the conductor is severed. Always follow manufacturer guidance for correct seatings and forces.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and verify that local regulations and safety procedures for work on live parts are followed. Inspect the tool for damage to insulation or mechanical parts before each use and do not use if protective insulation is compromised. Match conductor sizes to the tool’s operational range and perform sample crimps or strips to confirm correct settings before proceeding with series work.
