prob_01
Tool doesn't strip 12 AWG cables correctly, only 'crushes' the insulation.
Common root cause: Incorrect gauge setting or dull blades.
Step-by-step solution: 1. Verify the selected gauge on the tool precisely matches the 12 AWG cable. 2. Try stripping a 14 AWG cable to check if the blades are still sharp; if not, sharpening or replacement may be needed.
💡
Pro tip: Always use the exact gauge setting for the cable you are working with.

⚖️ Seller Warranty & Marketplace Dispute Conciliation
Contact the seller for warranty service if the tool exhibits manufacturing defects, such as blades that do not cut even after adjustment and cleaning, a spring that breaks without apparent reason within a short period of use, or if the tool body shows structural failures not related to misuse. Excessive corrosion in a short time may also indicate a material or treatment defect.
