Same summary

The Knipex 95 26 165 cable cutters are designed for precise cutting of copper and aluminium cables and are specially adapted for electrical and technical work. With VDE-insulated handles, they enable safe work on electrical installations, which is crucial for DIYers, electricians or amateur users who carry out repairs and installations. Due to their specialization, they are less suitable for rough construction work or for cutting very hard materials, where other types of tools are required. Their main advantage is reliable and clean cable cutting, although they are not the most suitable for multi-purpose use outside of electrical and household work.

Yes, the pliers have VDE-insulated handles, which means they are suitable for electrician tasks and provide additional safety when working on electrical installations.
