Expert quality XP1000®, manufactured from premium steel forged in Germany. Induction-hardened jaws provide better gripping performance and an effortless clean cutting edge.

A two-part bi-material ergonomic soft grip handle allows maximum grip and user comfort, and horns prevent slipping onto live conductors.

The handle also incorporates a tethered fixing solution to comply with Work at Height Regulations (lanyard Stock No. 82474 and wrist strap Stock No. 03740 sold separately).
