00 20 12 Elektro VDE Pliers Set, 3 Piece

The Knipex 00 20 12 Elektro VDE Pliers Set (3 Piece) is a professional electrical tool kit designed for safe and efficient work on live electrical installations. This set includes three of the most commonly used insulated pliers, making it ideal for electricians, engineers and installation professionals.

Each tool is fitted with ergonomic multi-component grips and is VDE tested up to 10,000V and approved for safe working up to 1,000V, meeting the requirements of DIN EN / IEC 60900. The integrated slip guard prevents spark-over from the non-insulated head to the hand, improving safety during electrical work. For durability and corrosion resistance, the plier heads are finished with a chrome plated coating.

The set includes the VDE Combination Pliers (03 06 180), manufactured from high-quality special tool steel that is forged and oil-hardened to approximately 60 HRC. These pliers feature longer cutting edges for thicker cables and gripping zones suitable for both flat and round materials, making them highly versatile for electrical installation tasks.

Also included are the VDE Snipe Nose Cutting Pliers (26 16 200), designed for precision work in electrical installations. Manufactured from vanadium electric steel and multi-stage oil-hardened, the pliers feature long half-round jaws with elastic precision tips and knurled gripping surfaces. The cutting edges are induction hardened to approximately 61 HRC, providing reliable cutting performance on medium and hard wires.

Completing the set are the VDE Diagonal Cutters (70 06 160), designed with a narrow head for working in confined spaces. Made from forged vanadium electric steel and multi-stage oil-hardened, these cutters feature precision cutting edges that are induction hardened to approximately 62 HRC, allowing clean and precise cutting of soft, medium and hard wires, including thin copper wires at the cutting-edge tips.

Built for safety, durability and professional performance, the Knipex Elektro VDE Pliers Set is an essential addition to any electrician’s tool kit.
