NFPA 70 NEC 2023 Softbound + Ugly’s Electrical References 2023 + EZ Tabs – 5-Pack Bundle

This 5-pack combines the softbound NFPA 70 National Electrical Code 2023, Ugly’s Electrical References 2023 in spiral-bound, and a color-coded EZ Tabs set, five of each, for electrical crews and classrooms that want the full toolkit in the lighter codebook format.

The softbound 2023 NEC from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is the standard perfect-bound edition, the one most testing providers list and the easiest to pack into a tool bag. Ugly’s Electrical References 2023 from Jones & Bartlett Learning adds the tables and formulas electricians use daily, and EZ Tabs turn the codebook into something you can navigate by feel. The 2023 code moved definitions into Article 100 and renumbered several articles, so tabs made for 2023 are worth having.

Who it’s for

Trade schools and apprenticeship programs building a first-year kit, electrical contractors onboarding several hires at once, exam-prep providers whose students sit the journeyman or master exam on the 2023 NEC, and electrical departments at hospitals, campuses, and manufacturing plants under a 2023 adoption.

Why this set

Among the 2023 NEC packs we carry, this is the softbound option; the spiral-bound equivalent with Ugly’s and tabs is listed separately. Softbound weighs less, costs less per copy, and fits the reference rules of nearly every exam board. With Ugly’s and tabs in the same box, every student or crew member starts with the same three tools and the same tab positions.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between this pack and the spiral-bound version?

Only the codebook binding. This pack has the softbound NEC 2023; the other has the spiral-bound NEC 2023. Ugly’s and the EZ Tabs are the same in both.

Is Ugly’s included in the softbound or spiral format?

Ugly’s Electrical References is always spiral-bound; the 2023 edition in this pack is the standard pocket-sized spiral book.

Can students use EZ Tabs in the licensing exam?

Most providers allow permanently affixed, pre-printed tabs such as EZ Tabs, but some restrict handwritten tabs or notes. Check the candidate information bulletin for your state.
