The Partex PWS-GUN2 is a durable and versatile self-adjusting automatic wire stripper and cutter designed for efficient preparation of electrical wires and cables in industrial installations, electrical control panels and automation systems. As part of the Partex PWS wire stripping tool range, it provides a practical solution for electricians, control panel builders and maintenance engineers who require reliable insulation removal across a wide range of conductor sizes.
Featuring a self-adjusting stripping mechanism, the PWS-GUN2 automatically adapts its stripping blades to suit compatible cable sizes, allowing insulation to be stripped and removed in a single operation. Its straightforward handheld design helps reduce the time and effort required for repetitive cable preparation tasks. The automatic return mechanism resets the tool after each stripping operation, making it ready for the next conductor.
Designed for soft-insulated electrical wires with conductor cross-sections from 0.75–16.0 mm², the Partex PWS-GUN2 is particularly useful for medium-sized and larger electrical conductors used in control panels, power distribution equipment and industrial machinery. Its 180 mm overall length, lightweight construction and durable cutting components provide a practical combination of portability, handling comfort and dependable performance.
Accurate insulation removal is essential for producing reliable electrical connections and maintaining consistent conductor preparation standards. The Partex PWS-GUN2 automatic wire stripper simplifies this process by using a self-adjusting stripping mechanism that adapts to the size of the cable being prepared. The tool grips the conductor and removes the insulation in one operation, helping reduce manual effort and improve efficiency compared with conventional stripping methods.
The 0.75–16.0 mm² stripping range makes the PWS-GUN2 particularly suitable for electrical installation tasks involving conductors larger than those accommodated by the PWS-GUN1 model. This extended capacity is useful when preparing wires for power distribution terminals, electrical control equipment, industrial machinery and larger terminal connections.
Manufactured with an ABS body, SK5 steel cutting blades and aluminium alloy blade holders, the PWS-GUN2 combines lightweight handling with durable working components. Its mechanical operation eliminates the need for batteries or external power, making it suitable for workshop use, on-site installation and industrial maintenance activities.
The automatic return mechanism allows the tool to reset after each stripping cycle, supporting efficient preparation of multiple conductors. For best results, users should select compatible soft-insulated cables within the specified stripping range and inspect the conductor after stripping to ensure the insulation has been removed without damaging the metal strands.

The Partex PWS-GUN2 is a self-adjusting automatic wire stripper and cutter used to remove insulation from electrical conductors and assist with cable preparation. It is suitable for electrical installations, control panel assembly, industrial automation and maintenance applications.
The PWS-GUN2 is designed for soft-insulated electrical conductors with cross-sections from 0.75–16.0 mm². This wide stripping range makes it suitable for various control, installation and power distribution wiring applications.
Yes. The self-adjusting stripping blade mechanism automatically adapts to compatible cable sizes. The tool strips and removes insulation in one operation and returns to its initial position ready for the next conductor.
The main difference is the supported conductor size range. The PWS-GUN1 strips wires from 0.2–6.0 mm², while the PWS-GUN2 accommodates 0.75–16.0 mm². The PWS-GUN2 is therefore particularly suitable for applications involving larger electrical conductors.
No. The PWS-GUN2 is a manually operated, semi-automatic wire stripping tool. Its mechanical stripping mechanism operates when the handles are squeezed, so no batteries or external electrical power supply are required.
Partex PWS wire stripping tools provide practical solutions for efficient and consistent electrical conductor preparation. With its self-adjusting stripping mechanism, extended 0.75–16.0 mm² working range and durable construction, the PWS-GUN2 is designed to support electricians, control panel builders and industrial maintenance professionals carrying out everyday wiring and installation tasks.
