Greenlee 0252-11 NM Cable Ripper

The Greenlee 0252-11 NM Cable Ripper is a great tool for your cable - handling needs. It can neatly slit the outer jacket of Romex 10/2, 12/2, 14/2 and other non - metallic (NM) sheathed cables. There's a wire gauge on the handle, which helps you easily identify wire sizes from #6 to #14 AWG. Its corrosion - resistant zinc plating ensures long - term use. The side - entry design allows for slitting the jacket either at the end or in the middle of the run. It has an overall length of 3 - 5/8' (9.2 cm) and weighs only.06 lbs (.03 kg), making it lightweight and portable.

Using the Greenlee 0252-11 NM Cable Ripper is easy. First, identify the cable size you're working with using the wire gauge on the handle. Then, place the cable into the side - entry opening of the ripper. You can start slitting the outer jacket either at the end of the cable or in the middle, depending on your needs. When you're done using it, wipe it clean to keep it in good condition. Since it has corrosion - resistant zinc plating, it can handle normal wear and tear. But avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals as it may damage the plating. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting.
