MILWAUKEE VDE Combination Pliers 180mm 1000V Insulated Soft Grip

Combination pliers engineered for electrical work, delivering a 1000V VDE insulation rating and high-leverage cutting power in a compact 180mm frame. The serrated gripping jaws and induction-hardened cutting edges handle hard wire up to 2.2mm with precision, while the ergonomic soft grip ensures comfort during prolonged use.

Advantages

Built from chrome vanadium steel with a phosphate finish, these pliers resist corrosion and wear. The high-leverage design multiplies hand force, reducing fatigue when cutting or twisting. Each tool is individually tested to 10,000V, exceeding the 1000V working limit for added safety. The multi-zone serrated jaws provide a secure hold on flat and round materials, and the soft grip handles offer a non-slip, comfortable grip even with gloves.
