Check the fit
Read the full marking on the flat sheath before choosing. For a mix of 12/2 and 14/2, compare the documented dual-NM model.
When to choose it
The 45-249 is the dedicated 12/2 NM entry in IDEAL's T-Stripper line. It is a straightforward candidate when the cable designation is known and the plier nose and looping holes matter more than having several jacket sizes.
