The Faithfull VDE Combination Pliers 190mm are engineered to provide maximum safety, durability, and performance for professional electricians and tradespeople alike. Fully certified to stringent VDE standards, these heavy-duty pliers combine essential cutting, gripping, and twisting capabilities into a single, high-performance hand tool. Designed for working on or around live AC or DC systems, they offer the peace of mind required when tackling demanding electrical installations and maintenance tasks.
When working with electricity, there is absolutely no room for compromise on safety or tool reliability. The Faithfull VDE Combination Pliers 190mm are built to bridge the gap between uncompromising electrical safety and heavy-duty mechanical performance. Every single pair undergoes rigorous testing, including induction and water immersion voltage tests, ensuring they can withstand extreme conditions and protect the user against accidental shocks on live lines up to 1,000V AC or 1,500V DC.
Beyond their outstanding safety credentials, these 190mm combination pliers excel in pure utility. The classic combination design serves as the ultimate multi-tool for the modern electrical installer. The jaw features a dual-zone gripping face: a flat serrated front for pulling and holding sheet materials, and a curved, deeply grooved pipe grip below it that locks securely onto conduits, studs, and bolts. This eliminates the need to constantly swap between different hand tools mid-task, streamlining your workflow whether you are stripping thick cables, pulling wire through tight trunking, or tightening mechanical fixings.
The high-leverage joint mechanism ensures that user effort is amplified efficiently, translating minor hand pressure into a powerful clamping or cutting force. The integrated cutting edges are induction-hardened, allowing them to retain their sharpness even when consistently tasked with snipping through tough copper cabling, wire mesh, and medium-to-hard wire gauges.
Comfort is equally critical during long shifts on-site. Faithfull has equipped this model with robust, bi-material ergonomic handles. The soft-grip inserts provide a secure tactile feel, preventing slipping even when hands are damp or covered in light oils. The prominent slip-guards at the top of the handles act as a reliable physical barrier, keeping your hands safely clear of the conductive steel head. This is an indispensable, trade-grade tool engineered to deliver reliable service and essential protection day in and day out.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the VDE certification mean on these pliers?
What exactly does the VDE certification mean on these pliers?
VDE certification is an independent guarantee that the tool has been strictly tested to international standards (EN 60900). Each pair of these pliers is individually submerged in water and subjected to a 10,000V electrical load to ensure the insulation has zero defects before being approved for safe use on live circuits up to 1,000V AC.
Can these pliers be used to cut hard steel wire or nails?
Can these pliers be used to cut hard steel wire or nails?
These pliers feature induction-hardened cutting edges designed for cutting electrical cabling, copper wire, and medium-to-hard wires typically found in trade installations. To prolong the lifespan of the cutting edge, it is recommended to use dedicated heavy-duty side cutters or bolt croppers for hardened steel nails, piano wire, or high-tensile fasteners.
How do I properly maintain VDE pliers to keep them safe?
How do I properly maintain VDE pliers to keep them safe?
To maintain their safety rating, always inspect the insulated handles before use for any cuts, deep scratches, or tears that expose the underlying layer. Keep the pliers clean and dry, occasionally applying a drop of light tool oil to the joint mechanism to maintain smooth operation. Do not store them alongside sharp objects that could puncture the handles.
