Questions & Answers
Will these strip 12/2 g uf cable sheath too?
Yes, the Klein Tools model # K1412 can strip 12/2 g uf cable sheath.
Yes, although it's not as easy
Yes check out my review
Has anyone had trouble with the spring becoming detached from these cutters? I've had 2 pair and the spring was lost on both. No replacement spring available, that I can find.
I had this happen to my well-used 10+ year old K1412 (which incidentally I bought on a spur of the moment from a Home Depot endcap display). I saw the answer from KleinTools to call them. So I did. They told me that there isn't a replacement part, but there is also a Lifetime Warranty on them. All I had to do was take it to a distributor and they would replace it. I asked for distributors near me and of course they mentioned Home Depot. I walked into my nearest Home Depot and yes they exchanged them for a brand new set. I'm happy.
No issues yet, but I have only used it once. Sorry I'm not more help.
No of other people that happened to kleintools always replaced them
No

Can this be used to strip the sheath after insertion of NM-B into box, or is it best to strip sheath before inserting into box?
Before. And be sure to leave 6+ inches of wire for termination.
Yes, this can be used to strip sheath.
Don't strip the wire. Cut it (the sheath) using the correct notch where you want it and then insert into the box. After that just pull the sheath and it will slide right off.
If the NM-B is already stapled and/or clamped, I wouldn't recommend it, as you're just as likely as not to damage the insulation on the individual conductors, and possibly even the conductor itself. Either strip the sheath prior to inserting into the box - which is my preference - or pull it through and strip, then pull it back to where there's a 1/4" of sheathing left in the box and secure it.
yes, actually its best to run your romex then strip last.
The K1412 can be used to strip NM-B before or after insertion into a box.
I bought a pair of these stripers about 6 months ago and the grip just broke today. Is this under warrenty?
The grips can be slid off with the right amount of pull. Inject some silicone caulk into the grip, reinsert, and let dry. I have had this happen in the past. We use them every day and have pulled many off, but never worn a grip out.
Lifetime!!!!!!!
Klein Tools products, manufactured and sold for commercial or industrial uses, are warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for the normal life of the product. For more information on the warranty please contact Klein Tools Customer Service at 1-800-553-4676.

Klein backs their tools up with a lifetime warranty against failures that are product related as long as it isn’t normal wear and tear or misuse. Your issue doesn’t sound like either so they will probably repair the tool or refund the purchase price.
Yes thare is a life time warranty Klein tools. That's why I always refer them.
