ABSTRACT:
A hand tool for slitting the sheath on flat, two-conductor, plastic clad cables by means of a pointed knife which projects from a fixed mounting within the tool handle into a chamber bounded, opposite the point of the knife blade, by a sloping wall, one end of which defines an opening only slightly larger than the cross section of the cable to be cut, while the other end of the wall defines one end of an elongated opening within which the cable can be moved to assume a range of angles relative to the knife. The walls of the chamber which lie substantially parallel to the knife blade are so mounted that their spacing from the blade and from each other can be varied with micrometric precision, to ensure the location of the cut at exactly the correct distances from the edges of the flat cable.
