Maybe need man's strength to apply pressure in order to cut. But other wise very good Quality product compared to other pliers out there. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Only just got it, but works well, and ... *by X***X on 20 October 2018* Only just got it, but works well, and is well made: sharp accurate edges. I have a few S&R tools and trust them: they seem to be excellently made, and worth the slight premium price. All bought to replace cheaper options I was unhappy with. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tough and rough *by P***M on 23 February 2026* Classic shape, robust, not wobbly at all, cuts soft steel wire without leaving a mark on the cutting edge, comfortable grips. On the negative side, machining of the shiny surfaces is rough and there are some rough sharp edges, so I had to do edge rounding myself. Not sure about corrosion protection, looks like very limited. ## Frequently Bought Together - S&R Combination Pliers 160mm Insulated 1000V Universal, Jaws 35 mm, VDE Tested Series Engineers Pliers 1000V - S&R Insulated VDE Diagonal Side Cutter/Electrical Wire Cutters 160mm 1000V VDE-Tested (German Electrical Engineering Association Serie) Wire Cutting Pliers - S&R VDE Long Flat Nose Pliers 200mm – 1000V Insulated, VDE-Tested, Chrome-Vanadium Steel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/53102526-s-and-r-vde-combination-pliers](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/53102526-s-and-r-vde-combination-pliers) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
