Still sharp and cuts through smaller cables without any issues. ## Features - VDE-TESTED 1000V INSULATION: Diagonal side cutters individually tested to 10,000 V, rated safe for live electrical work up to 1000 V; certified VDE insulation on both 2-component anti-slip handles protects against electric shock - HARDENED CR-V CUTTING JAWS: Induction-tempered chrome vanadium steel jaws shear medium-hard wire Ø 2.3 mm and hard wire Ø 1.5 mm; flush-cut tip alignment for clean, precise cuts on stranded copper, steel wire and cable ties - TECHNICAL DATA: Chrome vanadium steel (Cr-V), phosphated and galvanic-coated surface; overall length 160 mm (6.3 in), cutting jaws 21 mm, weight 214 g; cutting capacity Ø 2.3 mm medium-hard wire and Ø 1.5 mm hard wire - WIDE APPLICATION: Electrical installation and switchboard work, automotive electrics, maintenance, cable tie cutting, wire snips for model making, sprue cutters for plastics, jewellery wire cutters and precision craft projects - S&R QUALITY SINCE 1998: 26+ years of industrial tool expertise, multiple batch quality inspection, German customer service – compact 160 mm diagonal cutter format for one-hand control in tight panels and junction boxes ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B013URC1GU | | Best Sellers Rank | 7,374 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 1 in Flat-Nose Pliers | | Brand | S&R | | Colour | Red - Yellow | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 684 Reviews | | Cutting Width | 2.3 Millimeters | | Grip Type | Ergonomic | | Handle Material | 2-component handle | | Handle material | 2-component handle | | Included Components | Diagonal Side Cutter | | Item Dimensions L x W | 16L x 2.1W centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.22 Kilograms | | Item weight | 0.22 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | S&R Industriewerkzeuge GmbH | | Material | Chrome-Vanadium steel, 60CrV, HRC 58-65 | | Model Number | 161.513.160 | | Part Number | 161.513.160 | | Product dimensions | 16L x 2.1W centimetres | | Specification Met | VDE | | Usage | electrician | ## Product Details - **Brand:** S&R - **Colour:** Red - Yellow - **Cutting width:** 2.3 Millimeters - **Grip type:** Ergonomic - **Handle material:** 2-component handle - **Item weight:** 0.22 Kilograms - **Material:** Chrome-Vanadium steel, 60CrV, HRC 58-65 - **Product dimensions:** 16L x 2.1W centimetres - **Specific uses for product:** electrician - **Specification met:** VDE ## Images ![S&R VDE Diagonal Side Cutters - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Fb+M-2ZEL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As good as the expensive brands (so far) *by S***. on 6 June 2026* Seems to be just as good as some of the more dearer brands.
