# Output

The Draper XP1000 VDE Insulated Tethered Cable Shears are professional-grade cutters designed for safe work on live electrical circuits. Manufactured from premium steel forged in Germany, these cable shears deliver the precision and reliability demanded by electricians and electrical contractors working in compliance with UK safety standards.

The induction-hardened cutting edges provide effortless clean cutting with a maximum capacity of 15mm, ensuring long-term performance across demanding applications. Curved parrot beak jaws pull the cable into position for a precise cut, whilst precision-machined pivot pins enable smooth one-handed operation with minimal play. The two-part bi-material ergonomic soft grip handle maximises grip and user comfort, with integrated horns preventing slipping onto live conductors.

Tested to 10,000V and certified for use on live circuits of 1,000V AC and 1,500V DC, these VDE insulated shears meet stringent electrical safety requirements. The handle incorporates a tethered fixing solution to comply with Work at Height Regulations, accommodating a lanyard (Stock No. 82474) or wrist strap (Stock No. 03740), both sold separately. Ideal for electrical installation, maintenance work, and commercial contracting where working at height safety compliance is essential.
