Check the fit

Read the cable marking first. An outer-jacket label such as 12/2 identifies a cable construction, while 12 AWG solid identifies an individual conductor size. Check both against the exact tool.

When to choose it

Choose the K1412 when a 12/2 or 14/2 NM-B cable calls for both jacket removal and individual conductor preparation. It has dedicated openings for the inner solid wires and a separate feature for the flat outer jacket.
