Check the fit

Check whether you need a shear-style cutter as well as a jacket ripper. Klein describes using the L1412 after cutting the wire to length, so plan that separate step if needed.

When to choose it

Choose the L1412 for compact carry when you need to slit a listed flat jacket and strip the matching solid conductors after cutting the cable to length. It fits a different carry setup from the longer K1412 pliers.
