Greenlee 1916-SS Stainless Steel Wire Stripper/Cutter, 10-20 AWG

The Greenlee 1916-SS Stainless Steel Wire Stripper/Cutter is a manual, fixed-hole plier-type tool built from high grade stainless steel for electricians and technicians who need a durable, corrosion-resistant stripping and cutting solution. This multi-function tool strips 10-20 AWG solid and 12-22 AWG stranded conductors, combining precision ground stripping holes, looping holes, a serrated nose, and an integrated cutter in one compact hand tool. Backed by a long-life spring and low-profile lock, the 1916-SS is engineered for quick, repetitive stripping and cutting in demanding jobsite conditions.

Key Features

  • Durable Construction: High grade stainless steel construction lasts 5X longer than standard tool steel and resists corrosion in demanding environments.
  • Chip & Mar Resistant Knives: High grade knives are designed to resist chipping and marring over repeated use, extending cutting-edge life.
  • Multi-Function Design: Combines a plier nose, wire strippers, cutter, looping holes, and a spring-back action with low-profile lock in a single tool.
  • Looping Holes & Serrated Nose: Purpose-built for bending, pulling, and shaping wires during termination work.
  • Precision Ground Stripping Holes: Deliver easy, consistent jacket removal without nicking conductors.
  • Wire Capacity: Strips 10-20 AWG solid and 12-22 AWG stranded conductors for a broad range of common wire gauges.
  • Long-Life Spring & Lock: Spring-back action with a low-profile lock enables quick, repetitive stripping and cutting cycles.
  • Vinyl Cushion Grip Handles: Provide a comfortable, secure hold during extended use.

Greenlee 1916-SS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire gauges will the Greenlee 1916-SS strip?
The 1916-SS strips 10-20 AWG solid and 12-22 AWG stranded conductors. That covers the usual branch circuit and device wiring range (12 and 14 AWG building wire) plus smaller control and low-voltage stranded leads. Anything heavier than 10 AWG solid or finer than 22 AWG stranded needs a different tool.
2) Will stainless steel strippers hold up in a damp or coastal environment?
That's the reason this version exists. The 1916-SS is built from high grade stainless steel rather than standard tool steel, so it resists corrosion in wet, marine, or washdown conditions where a plated carbon steel plier starts rusting at the joint and in the stripping holes. Greenlee rates the stainless construction as lasting 5X longer than standard tool steel.
3) Is the Greenlee 1916-SS fixed-hole or self-adjusting?
It's a manual fixed-hole stripper. Each gauge has its own precision ground hole, so you pick the hole marked for the wire you're on rather than letting the tool guess. Fixed-hole gives cleaner, repeatable jacket removal without nicking the conductor, but it's slower than a self-adjusting stripper when you're jumping between gauges all day.
4) Can I use the 1916-SS to make terminal loops and pull wire, or do I need separate pliers?
It does both jobs. Along with the stripping holes and cutter there are dedicated looping holes for forming the hook on a screw terminal, and a serrated plier nose for gripping, pulling, and shaping wire during terminations. For panel and device wiring that usually means one tool instead of strippers plus needle-nose.
5) What is the exact part number to order the Greenlee stainless wire stripper?
Order Greenlee 1916-SS. That is the full manufacturer part number for the stainless steel stripper/cutter covering 10-20 AWG solid and 12-22 AWG stranded. It ships in a hanging clamshell, so it's suited to counter or retail display as well as bulk MRO stocking.
6) Does the Greenlee 1916-SS spring open on its own and lock closed for the toolbag?
Yes. A long-life spring returns the handles open between cuts, which is what you want for repetitive stripping, and a low-profile lock holds the jaws shut so it isn't snagging in a pouch. The lock sits flush enough that it doesn't dig into your palm in use.
7) How do I find the right stripping hole quickly on this tool?
The gauge markings are laser etched and stamped into the stainless, not printed, so they stay readable after the painted markings on a cheaper tool have worn off. Handles are vinyl cushion grip for extended use.
8) Is the 1916-SS suitable for cutting as well as stripping, and will the blades dull quickly?
There's an integrated cutter in the jaw for sizing conductors within the same gauge range it strips. The knives are high grade and made to resist chipping and marring with repeated use, which is the usual failure point on a combination stripper, the cutting edge rolling or notching before the tool wears out elsewhere.
