Weidmüller Launches swifty CS: A Compact All-in-One Tool for Cutting and Stripping Cables

Weidmüller USA has unveiled swifty CS, a new all-in-one cutting and stripping attachment designed to simplify and speed up cable preparation for electricians, panel builders and field technicians. The tool combines two essential functions into a single compact device, reducing the need to switch tools during installation work and making everyday electrical tasks more efficient.

The swifty CS attachment slides directly onto any uninsulated screwdriver with a 3.5-mm blade diameter, instantly transforming it into a versatile cut-and-strip tool. Technicians can cut wire on one side of the attachment, strip insulation on the other, and immediately use the screwdriver for terminal adjustments — all without reaching for separate cutters or strippers.

Weidmüller describes it as a streamlined, ultra-portable solution designed for fast-paced environments where speed and precision matter.

Designed for Efficiency, Built for the Field

The swifty CS is engineered to handle a wide range of common conductor types used in control panels, electrical cabinets and field wiring. Its compact and ergonomic design supports effortless handling, even during repetitive tasks.

Key capabilities include:

• Stripping PVC-insulated fine-stranded and solid conductors up to 14 AWG

• Cutting copper conductors (single-stranded up to 16 AWG, fine-stranded up to 14 AWG)

• Ergonomic grip to reduce manual effort and support comfortable daily use

• Automatic opening for quick, fluid operation

• Precision stripping wheel for clean, accurate insulation removal

• Fully usable for right- and left-handed technicians

• One-hand operation, keeping the second hand free for cable guidance or panel support

• Compact format that fits easily into any tool pouch or service bag

Carlus Hicks, Director of the Cabinet Products Division at Weidmüller USA, said the new tool is designed to significantly streamline workflows:
“Combining the cutting and stripping functions in one attachment makes electrical installations easier than ever. swifty CS is ideal for screw and spring clamp terminals, ensuring a fast and efficient workflow.”

Flexible Purchasing Options

Installers can purchase the swifty CS in two ways:

1. As a standalone slide-on attachment, ready to fit onto a compatible screwdriver

2. As a complete tool, with the screwdriver and swifty CS pre-assembled

Weidmüller has also released a product video demonstrating the tool in action and highlighting its efficiency benefits.

As panel construction and field service teams search for compact, smarter tools that reduce downtime, swifty CS delivers a portable, practical solution that boosts productivity across all types of electrical work.
