FAQ:

Are these insulated?
These cutters are ESD-safe, offsetting any risk from Electro Static Discharge. Any possible electrical discharge is dissipated and therefore prevented from building up to potentially dangerous levels.
However, these cutters are not VDE-certified and cannot be used on live electric cables.

What’s the maximum cutting capacity?
For medium-hard and soft wires, such as copper, the maximum cutting capacity is 1.2 mm.
