The professional-grade, heavy-duty kits are available with either a convenient hands-free tool pouch or a durable molded case with precision cut EVA foam to keep fiber tools organized and protected. Inside are award-winning, patent-pending Miller® tools, including the ACS+ Slitter for Armored Cable, MB04 FTTX Drop Cable Slitter, and the MSAT® 16 Mid-Span Access Tool with 16 unique cable diameter settings. The preparation kits would not be complete without a pair of precision Miller® fiber strippers, the KS-1 Kevlar® Shears, a compact FTS Buffer Tube Scorer, and a CA Series Cable Grip Tool.
