Check the fit

Check the insulation and conductor construction against the model manual. The US datasheet excludes THHN, and the wire cutter has a separate solid-conductor limit. Compare the EvoStrip for finer wires below the documented PreciStrip range.

When to choose it

Choose PreciStrip16 if the larger end of its documented range matters and you want a dial to tune the blade response to the insulation. The length stop helps repeat preparation when several ends need the same exposed length.
