Klein Tools K1412CAN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Klein K1412CAN strip Canadian NMD-90 12/2 and 14/2 cable jacket?
That is exactly what the K1412CAN is built for. It removes the outer jacket of Canadian NMD-90 Romex cable in both 12/2 and 14/2 sizes, with a dedicated hole for each so you are not guessing which slot to use.
2) Is the Klein K1412CAN safe to use on live circuits?
No. The tool is NOT insulated, and the plastic-dipped handles are comfort grips only, not shock protection. Never use it on or near live circuits, and wear approved eye protection. If you need to work energized, you need a tool rated and marked as insulated.
3) Can I cut device screws with this Klein cable stripper, or do I need a separate tool?
The K1412CAN shears 6-32 and 8-32 screws cleanly, which covers the machine screws on standard receptacles, switches and device box mounting. That saves carrying a separate bolt cutter for trimming long screws in a shallow box.
4) Does this Klein stripper do anything besides strip and cut?
The serrated nose bends, shapes and pulls wire, so you can form your loops for terminal screws and fish conductors without switching to long nose pliers. There is also a locking latch with a design that resists accidental locking during use and loosening over time.
5) Is the K1412CAN the right Klein stripper for US Romex or only Canadian cable?
It is the Canadian NMD-90 version, sized for 12/2 and 14/2 NMD-90 jacket. Crews working US NM-B cable should look at Klein's standard Klein-Kurve wire stripper for 12/2 and 14/2 NM instead, since the jacket holes are cut for that cable profile.
6) How big and heavy is the Klein K1412CAN stripper for a pouch?
Overall length is 8 inches (20.3 cm) and it weighs 6.6 oz (186 g), so it rides in a standard side pouch without dragging the belt down. Shipping carton figures run 7.75 by 3.6 by 0.675 inches.
7) What do the yellow and white handles on the Klein K1412CAN mean?
The handle color is yellow with white, double-dipped over Klein-Kurve curved grips. For a fleet or MRO crib, that color pairing is the quick way to tell the NMD-90 Canadian tool apart from other strippers in the same drawer. The tool is made in the USA.
