Knipex 180mm VDE Diagonal Cutters
Knipex 180mm VDE-insulated diagonal cutter, individually tested to 10,000V and certified safe for use to 1000V AC. Stepping up from the 160mm format, the 180mm length delivers greater mechanical advantage and increased cutting capacity while retaining the narrow head profile and precision cutting edge quality that define the Knipex VDE diagonal cutter range. The additional size makes this the more capable choice for heavier gauge cable and wire in electrical installation work, without the tool becoming unwieldy in the confined spaces where electrical cutters are most commonly used.

Knipex 180mm VDE Diagonal Cutters
- VDE certified to 1000V — individually tested — Full VDE certification with individual testing to 10,000V for safe use to 1000V AC, conforming to DIN EN/IEC 60900; the only meaningful standard for a cutting tool used in live electrical environments, and the feature that makes this categorically different from a standard uninsulated diagonal cutter regardless of size
- Greater cutting capacity than the 160mm — The additional length over the 160mm format delivers more mechanical advantage at the cutting head, handling heavier gauge conductors, harder wire, and tougher materials more comfortably at the upper end of the cutting range; the natural step up for electrical installers who regularly encounter heavier cable alongside the fine wire work the smaller format handles
- Induction-hardened precision cutting edges — Hardened to approximately 62 HRC and precision-ground for clean, flush cuts on both soft and hard wire; the elongated cutting edge design allows accurate cutting right to the tips, which in electrical termination and wire dressing work means cleaner conductor ends and neater finished installations
- Narrow head profile for confined access — The slim head geometry remains well suited to back boxes, enclosures, terminal blocks, and the restricted working areas common in electrical installation despite the increased overall length; the 180mm format gives more leverage without the head bulk that would compromise access
- Multi-component insulated handles — Dual-material handle construction with hard and soft zones for secure, comfortable grip in the dry, damp, and gloved conditions routine in electrical work; the insulation is integral to the handle rather than a sleeve, maintaining the 1000V rating as a continuous protection rather than a point-of-grip measure
- Vanadium electric steel, forged and multi-stage oil-hardened — Head manufactured from vanadium electric steel, forged and multi-stage oil-hardened for the edge retention and durability that professional electrical installation demands across years of daily use; chrome-plated finish throughout
