Check the fit

Check the actual flat width, insulation material and conductor marking. For cable labeled 12/2 or 14/2 NM, compare a tool that specifically names that designation.

When to choose it

The 12 64 180 addresses flat PVC cable with two separate fit limits: jacket width and conductor cross-section. Its documented blade serviceability also matters if the tool will repeatedly prepare the same compatible cable at a workshop bench.
