Bosch VDE Cable Shear 200mm
The Bosch VDE Cable Shear provides professional electricians with a high-leverage cutting solution for copper and aluminum cables. Rated for live-line work up to 1000V AC, this tool ensures operator safety during panel builds and industrial installations. The precision-ground bypass blades deliver clean, burr-free cuts without crushing the internal conductors.
Built for the Job
This specialized hand tool is designed for the rigorous demands of commercial electrical sites and maintenance workshops. The bypass cutting geometry allows for significantly lower physical effort compared to standard diagonal cutters when processing thicker multi-core cables. It is specifically engineered for non-ferrous materials, making it an essential asset for wiring distribution boards, control panels, and heavy-duty electrical enclosures.

On-Site & Workshop Notes
-
Always inspect the handle insulation for nicks or deep scratches before working on live circuits.
-
These shears are strictly for copper and aluminum; do not use them on steel wire or ACSR to avoid blade damage.
-
The integrated slip guards prevent the user’s hand from sliding toward the conductive metal head during use.
-
Keep the pivot point lightly oiled to maintain the smooth shearing action required for precision work.
