ABSTRACT:
A device for cutting B-X cable has a pair of pivotally interconnected operating members, each of which defines cutting jaws, with one of the operating members having a bifurcated end portion that defines a pair of spaced cutting jaws receiving therebetween the cutting jaw of the other operating member. The lower surface of the bifurcated jaws are notched transversely of their length in a configuration which is adapted to receive one of the convolutions or corrugations of the B-X cable when the single cutting jaw of the other operating member is inserted longitudinally into the end of the B-X cable. This single cutting jaw has a tapered free end portion which enables it to be inserted beneath the metal wrapping of the B-X cable so that the cable can be cut along its length by movement of the handle portions of the operating members towards each other. The notched portions of the bifurcated cutting jaws provide a positive gripping engagement with the curved B-X cable.
