Check the fit

Check the marked opening and required exposed length against the maker's 7/8-inch upper limit. For an exposed length above that, choose a separately documented tool.

When to choose it

The Gardner Bender SE-92 combines marked gauge holes with a squeeze action that pulls away the insulation. It is useful to compare with continuously adjusting tools if you prefer to see the gauge position at the head before starting.
