Partex PWSB handheld semi-automatic wire stripper for removing soft insulation from 0.5–6.0 mm² electrical conductors, featuring a durable zinc alloy frame, steel stripping components and a single-action stripping mechanism for professional electrical installation and panel building.
£39.42
The Partex PWSB is a robust and efficient automatic wire stripping tool designed for fast, accurate removal of insulation from electrical wires and conductors. Part of the professional Partex PWS wire stripper series, this handheld semi-automatic tool is ideal for electricians, electrical panel builders, maintenance engineers and industrial automation professionals who require consistent conductor preparation.
The PWSB uses a mechanical stripping mechanism to grip the wire, cut through the insulation and remove it in a single operation. Following each stripping cycle, the mechanism automatically returns to its starting position, ready for the next conductor. This efficient operation helps reduce repetitive manual work, improve productivity and deliver consistent stripping results during electrical assembly and installation.
Designed for soft-insulated electrical conductors with a nominal cross-sectional area of 0.5–6.0 mm², the Partex PWSB is suitable for a broad range of electrical wiring applications, including control circuits, industrial machinery and power distribution equipment. Its durable zinc alloy frame, hardened steel working components and PVC-coated handles provide reliable performance, while its compact 170 mm length and approximately 340 g weight make it practical for everyday professional use.
Accurate insulation removal is essential for producing reliable electrical connections and maintaining professional wiring standards. Automatic wire strippers such as the Partex PWSB simplify conductor preparation by gripping the wire, cutting through its insulation and removing the unwanted section in a single mechanical operation. This helps improve preparation efficiency and reduces the need for separate manual cutting and pulling operations.
The Partex PWS series is designed for professional electricians, automation engineers and electrical assembly technicians who regularly prepare insulated conductors. Compared with the smaller PWSA model, the PWSB provides a wider nominal conductor stripping range, making it particularly useful for medium-sized control wiring, electrical distribution circuits and industrial equipment installations. Its durable metal construction, automatic return action and comfortable grips make it a practical choice for repetitive stripping tasks in workshops and on-site environments.

The Partex PWSB is a handheld automatic wire stripper used to remove soft insulation from electrical conductors during wiring, electrical panel assembly, industrial equipment manufacturing and maintenance operations.
The PWSB is specified for soft-insulated conductors with a nominal cross-sectional area of 0.5–6.0 mm². Partex also identifies a 20–10 AWG wire size range. Suitability depends on conductor construction and insulation material.
The semi-automatic mechanism grips the wire, cuts the insulation and pulls it away in a single handle operation. The tool then automatically returns to its initial position, ready for the next conductor.
The main difference is the supported wire size range. The Partex PWSA is designed for smaller soft-insulated conductors from 0.25–2.5 mm², while the Partex PWSB accommodates a wider nominal range of 0.5–6.0 mm², making it suitable for larger electrical conductors.
The Partex PWSB has an overall length of approximately 170 mm and weighs approximately 340 g, providing a compact and robust handheld solution for professional electrical wire preparation.
Partex professional cable accessories and wire preparation tools support electricians, electrical panel manufacturers and industrial automation engineers in achieving efficient and consistent installation work. The PWSB automatic wire stripper combines durable construction, straightforward operation and reliable insulation removal in a practical tool for everyday electrical applications.
