Wiha 32948 9-1/2″ Insulated Industrial NE-Style Lineman’s Pliers with Crimpers

Individually Tested to 10,000V AC for 1,000V Certified Safety. Patented DynamicJoint® 40% More Mechanical Cutting Power. High-Performance Built-In Terminal Crimper.

The Wiha 32948 9-1/2" Insulated Industrial NE-Style Lineman's Pliers bring certified high-voltage protection, brute force material twisting power, clean wire shearing, and professional terminal crimping directly to your master tool pouch or electrical layout. Purpose-built to eliminate the dangerous risk of shock or arc-flash explosions when servicing energized components, the frustrating handle flexing of inferior pliers under high loads, and the need to carry separate bulky crimping tools on a ladder, these premium German-engineered New England style lineman's pliers establish the ultimate industry benchmark. They arm commercial electricians, industrial utility wirers, and power grid technicians with a heavy-duty, multi-functional asset explicitly optimized to twist solid wire bundles, pull heavy conductors, crimp non-insulated terminals, and shear thick cables safely.

Exceptional mechanical leverage and world-class metallurgical engineering serve as the foundation for this iconic 9.5-inch tool. Drop-forged from premium chrome-vanadium-molybdenum (CVM) tool steel, the heavy-duty head layout incorporates an aggressive cross-hatched knurled jaw face for a slip-free grip and long, induction-hardened blades. The pivot point utilizes Wiha's patented DynamicJoint® technology, which maximizes leverage to deliver up to 40% more cutting force directly to the jaws, making it easy to slice through tough wires. Individually water-submerged and shock-vetted at 10,000V AC to achieve a strict 1,000V AC safety certification, these pliers feature permanent, non-slip SoftFinish® dual-durometer cushion grips completed with integrated forward finger guards for absolute isolation.

Why the Wiha® 32948 9-1/2" Insulated NE-Style Lineman's Pliers Control the Trade:

• 10,000V Blast-Tested Operator Safety: Every individual piece passes rigorous high-voltage water-submersion tests to guarantee legal and physical 1,000V AC compliance.
• Patented DynamicJoint® Advantage: Advanced structural offset pivot multiplies your natural grip power, delivering 40% more cutting force to prevent forearm fatigue.
• Integrated Rear Wire Crimping Slot: Built-in mechanical crimper behind the pivot point accommodates non-insulated connectors, lugs, and terminals on the fly.
• Aggressive Cross-Hatched Knurled Jaws: High-friction cross-hatched gripping zones grab flat, round, or irregular wires with maximum pulling force.
• Ergonomic SoftFinish® Cushion Grips: Premium multi-component handles optimize contact surface area with your palm, maximizing torque while safely shrugging off shop oils.
