Bosch VDE Diagonal Cutter 200mm High Leverage 1000V Insulated

Bosch VDE Side Cutter

The Bosch VDE Diagonal Cutter provides a high-leverage solution for heavy-duty cutting tasks in live electrical environments. This 200mm tool features specialized insulation tested to meet strict international safety standards. It facilitates clean cuts through hard and soft wires while ensuring user protection during professional installations.

Built for the Job

Contractors and electricians use this tool for repetitive cutting of medium to hard wires where manual force needs optimization. The high-leverage design places the pivot point closer to the cutting edges to increase mechanical advantage. This reduces the hand force required for every cut compared to standard pliers. It handles heavy-gauge copper and steel wire across residential, commercial, and industrial electrical panels. The insulated grips prevent accidental grounding when working near energized components.

• Cutting and stripping heavy-duty power cables in distribution boards.

• Trimming hardened steel wire and fasteners during site containment setup.

• General electrical maintenance in high-voltage environments up to 1000V.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Inspect the insulation for nicks, tears, or deep scratches before every use on live circuits.

• Keep the cutting joint lightly oiled to maintain smooth mechanical action and prevent corrosion.

• Store in a dry tool chest to preserve the integrity of the dielectric handle material.

• Avoid using the handles as a hammer or prying tool as this compromises the safety rating.
