Safety First!
Use of these products is not intended or designed for live or energized electrical wiring or devices. In doing so, you could cause damage, injury, or death by electrocution. Always ensure the wiring or equipment you check is de-energized or has no power. Correct PPE should also be worn when performing any work or inspections around electrical components.

Disclaimer!
The wire gauge sets are designed to be used as a general determination, and accuracy cannot be guaranteed. This set should work with most NM or residential style wiring within the last 20 years.
​Due to different manufacturers and sizes, it's impossible to accommodate all different types of wiring used.
Also keep in mind older wiring had a thicker insulation, therefore the gauges supplied will not work with many older wires.
Do not force gauges onto wiring or into tight spaces. Doing so can cause breakage or damage to wiring/devices. IF the gauge doesn't fit with ease, then its either an older wire with thicker insulation or it not the correct size.
