Description

The KNIPEX 1000V 180MM Diagonal Cutters (70 07 180) provide the additional jaw capacity and mechanical advantage of the 180mm format with full live-working capability in dipped insulation format. Individually tested at 10,000V and certified to DIN EN IEC 60900, these cutters are approved for cutting conductors and cable in energised electrical systems up to 1000V AC.
The 180mm format significantly increases the range of conductors that can be comfortably cut in live environments compared to the 160mm variant, making the 70 07 180 a strong choice for electricians who work regularly on larger distribution systems, three-phase boards, and industrial switchgear in energised conditions.
The smooth dipped insulation is robust, chemical resistant, and easy to maintain in clean condition — an important consideration for live-working tools where contaminated insulation could compromise the dielectric performance of the tool between testing intervals.
