Check the fit

Read the correct gauge scale on the jaws before choosing a notch. The dipped grips improve handling. Klein identifies the tool as uninsulated and specifies use away from live electrical circuits.

When to choose it

Choose the 11057 if you need fine-wire openings and know whether each conductor is solid or stranded. A 32 AWG stranded lead is within the documented range, while 32 AWG solid is outside its solid-wire range.
