Klein Tools K1412 Wire Cutter & Stripper – Dual NM Cable Stripper, Made in USA

The Klein Tools K1412 Klein-Kurve Dual NM Cable Stripper/Cutter is designed for professionals and serious DIYers who frequently work with non-metallic sheathed cable. It cleanly removes the outer jacket from 12/2 and 14/2 NM-B, and it easily strips insulation on 12 and 14 AWG solid wire. This tool blends durable construction with precise action to make wire preparation straightforward, especially when space is limited or quick, reliable results are needed.

With a thoughtful design that emphasizes control and reliability, the K1412 integrates features that support steady, repeatable work. The new lock design helps prevent accidental locking or loosening during storage or transport, keeping your tool ready for the next job.

Precision you can feel

The unit features precision shear-type blades that deliver square, clean cuts on solid copper wire, helping minimize rework and ensuring consistent terminations. The narrow nose is built to fit into tight spots, while the sturdy stripping slots handle jacket removal for 12/2 and 14/2 NM-B with ease.
