Wire Stripper & Cutter 16-26 AWG

This Klein Tools 409-11046 is a 6-inch T-type hand tool designed to strip and cut 16 to 26 AWG stranded wire. It features a narrow serrated tip for pulling wire and a built-in looping function for terminal connections. Red plastic-dipped handles provide grip and comfort during electrical work.

Electricians needing precise small-gauge stripping

Suited for professionals and DIYers working with fine stranded wire in the 16-26 AWG range who require stripping, cutting, looping and pulling in one tool. Not intended for users who primarily handle solid-core conductors, larger gauge cables or heavy-duty cutting tasks beyond the specified capacity.

Strips 16-26 AWG stranded wire

The tool’s calibrated stripping holes accommodate only 16 to 26 AWG stranded wire, making this gauge range the decisive factor for selection. Wire outside this specification will not strip cleanly or may damage the jaws, so confirm your typical wire size matches this window before purchase.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the Klein Tools 409-11046 wire stripper and is anything else required to use it?

The carded package contains the 6" T-Type wire stripper and cutter with red plastic-dipped handles. No additional tools or accessories are needed to strip or cut 16-26 AWG stranded wire.

Which wire gauge range does the 409-11046 model cover and how do I know it fits my wire?

This model strips and cuts 16-26 AWG stranded wire. Check the AWG marking on your wire insulation; if it falls within that range the tool will work.

What does the 16-26 AWG rating mean when I am stripping wire on a job site?

It means the stripper cleanly removes insulation from stranded conductors sized between 16 and 26 AWG without nicking the copper, and the narrow serrated tip helps pull the cut strips off.
