Wiha 160mm Professional Electric Needle Nose Pliers Z05006

Wiha Professional Electric Needle Nose Pliers are VDE-insulated (IEC 60900; 1,000 V AC / 1,500 V DC rated, individually tested to 10,000 V AC) for live LV panel work. The precision-ground long-nose jaw accesses confined terminal spaces for wire positioning, bending, and gripping. Ideal for licensed electricians working on switchboards, MCCs, and wiring enclosures where reach is critical.

Where this tool is used

• Live LV switchboard wiring — VDE insulation is mandatory when working on or near energised terminals per AS/NZS 4836.
• Control-panel and MCC assembly — routing and positioning conductors in tight terminal-strip locations requires a long-nose jaw.
• Instrument and automation wiring — I/O terminals and relay sockets are often densely packed and require narrow-jaw access.

Key specifications

Selecting the right option

Match plier length to the task — longer pliers give more leverage; shorter ones give more control in confined spaces. For live-panel work, VDE-insulated pliers are required (IEC 60900). High-leverage models suit wire and hard material cutting; standard models suit general gripping and bending.
