Check the fit

Treat the values after the smallest band as indexed positions. Do not infer continuous coverage across the full stated span or order another variant's blades by appearance.

When to choose it

The KNIPEX 12 12 02 uses specific metric positions rather than the AWG profile of the visually similar 12 12 14. Match the wire marking and insulation type before choosing, especially when the fine conductors fall between nominal size labels.
