Check the fit

Read the solid or stranded gauge range before selecting a notch. The manufacturer gives conflicting entries for one screw size, so check the tool markings if that shearing function matters. This is an uninsulated tool for de-energized work.

When to choose it

Choose the 1025 when the conductor falls in the listed range and you also need a narrow nose for holding or looping it. Compare the two-inch jaw with the working space rather than choosing only by overall tool length.
