Diagonal pliers Wiha Z 01 0 06 / Z 01 0 09

The Wiha Z 01 0 06 / Z 01 0 09 diagonal pliers are made from high‑quality C70 tool steel, tempered for durability. Designed for general purpose gripping, holding and cutting of soft and hard wires and cables, they are suitable for work on or around electrical components up to 1,000 V AC. The pliers conform to DIN ISO 5746 and are manufactured according to IEC 60900:2012.

Advantages

OptiGrip handles with a triple‑point support provide a secure, non‑slip hold on the workpiece while working. Cutting edges are induction hardened to approximately 64 HRC for long life, and the Wiha DynamicJoint® reduces the effort required for cutting by ensuring efficient transmission of hand force to the cutting edges. Each piece is individually tested at 10,000 V AC for electrical safety.

Key specifications

How to use

Position the jaws around the wire or component to be cut or held, ensuring the workpiece sits against the cutting edge or gripping surface. Apply controlled hand pressure using the OptiGrip handles; the DynamicJoint® transmits force efficiently to the cutting edges. For electrical work, always verify the tool’s insulation condition and confirm circuits are safe to work on according to applicable safety procedures.

Recommendations

Inspect the pliers before each use for damage to insulation and cutting edges. Do not use the tool if insulation is compromised. Use the pliers only within the rated electrical limits and for the intended tasks; avoid cutting hardened steel beyond the tool’s specification to prevent damage.
