ABSTRACT:
A shearing cutter for wire and cable, particularly insulated metal wires and wire bundles as used in electrical and electronic circuits, is constructed in the form of a hand tool with elongated, hinged handles adapted to develop shearing forces between cooperating blades cantilevered beyond the hinge point from each of the handles. The blades are symmetrical in shape and define a substantially circular opening between semicircular bights sharpened into cutting edges in each of the blades. A wire or cable is maintained in a central location with respect to the aforementioned bights by the enveloping nature of the cutting edges, resulting in a clean, uniform shear plane.
