IDEAL 45-112 forged dual NM stripper for 12/2 and 14/2
Forged plier with two NM jacket sizes

Check the fit
Read the complete NM designation before choosing. The other tools in the forged series use different notches even when the head and grip look similar.
When to choose it
The 45-112 pairs two dedicated NM jacket openings with individual conductor notches. Its wide nose and recessed screw-shearing holes make sense when a job alternates between those two cable sizes and general handling at the workpiece.
