The Draper XP1000 VDE Insulated Tethered Water Pump Pliers are professional-grade pliers designed for safe electrical work and applications requiring work at height compliance. Manufactured from premium steel with induction-hardened jaws, these 250mm pliers deliver reliable gripping performance on a range of materials whilst meeting stringent safety standards for live electrical work. Tested to 10,000V and certified for use on live circuits up to 1,000V AC and 1,500V DC, these VDE insulated pliers provide essential protection for electricians and electrical contractors.
The multi-position adjustment allows versatile jaw positioning for different workpiece sizes, whilst the 'no-nip' handle design prevents finger pinching during operation. Protective horns on the handles prevent hands from slipping onto live conductors, adding an extra layer of safety during electrical installations and maintenance. The integrated tethered fixing point sets these pliers apart for professionals working at height, ensuring compliance with UK Work at Height Regulations when used with appropriate lanyards or wrist straps.
The two-part bi-material ergonomic handle combines a secure grip surface with user comfort, reducing hand fatigue during extended use.
