Check the fit

Compare the insulation against the manufacturer's stated applications as well as the six indexed gauges. Treat odd sizes such as 19 AWG as undocumented.

When to choose it

This KNIPEX model gives you six defined gauge positions for precision work rather than a continuous range. Its adapted blades are a consideration when insulation construction and repeatable removal matter as much as the conductor's nominal gauge.

Questions about this product

Does 16–26 mean all gauges in between?

No. The data sheet lists 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 and 26 AWG specifically.

Why check the insulation separately?

The nominal conductor gauge alone does not describe the insulation material or how it releases.

How can I distinguish this variant?

Look for the exact 12 12 14 model marking and its AWG positions before ordering.
