Description

When working with electrical installations, having a tool that balances absolute safety with mechanical precision is non-negotiable. The Faithfull VDE Long Nose Pliers (170mm) are specifically designed to meet this demand, serving as a dependable staple in any professional electrician's or serious DIYer's toolkit. Every single pair undergoes rigorous testing up to 10,000V in a water bath to satisfy the strict requirements of the EN 60900 standard, authorizing them for safe operation on live systems up to 1,000V AC or 1,500V DC.

Beyond their impressive safety credentials, these pliers are built for high performance and everyday practicality. The 170mm length provides the perfect balance between leverage and compact handling. The long, slender jaws are tapered down to a fine point, making them incredibly effective for reaching into deep switchboxes, routing intricate wiring looms, or holding small components securely in place while soldering or fastening. Inside the jaws, the finely serrated surface ensures a non-slip grip on materials of various shapes and sizes, reducing hand fatigue and preventing damage to delicate copper wiring.

Durability is at the core of the Faithfull design. Crafted from robust, heat-treated steel, the jaws and cutting edges are engineered to maintain their alignment and sharpness over extended periods of heavy use. The built-in wire cutter adds versatile functionality, allowing you to snip through medium and hard wires cleanly without needing to switch tools mid-task.

Comfort is equally prioritized through the multi-component insulated handles. The ergonomic design conforms naturally to the shape of your hand, optimizing force transfer while minimizing strain during repetitive tasks. Safety features are further enhanced by built-in slip guards at the top of the handles, which act as physical barriers to prevent your fingers from sliding forward onto the exposed, conductive metal head. Whether you are installing new circuits, maintaining commercial machinery, or executing intricate panel builds, these pliers deliver the professional-grade reliability you expect from Faithfull.
