Check the fit

Check the gauge and insulation construction, then follow Jonard's adjustment instructions. The blade stop controls the opening and is different from a stop for exposed length.

When to choose it

The Jonard WS-5 uses a V-notch and adjustable blade stop to span several gauges with one opening. It is an alternative to fixed-notch tools when the exact wire size changes but you prefer to set the opening manually.
