ABSTRACT:
A hand tool suitable for cutting the insulation jacket on "Romex"-type cables. The tool is adapted to cut the insulation jacket crosswise and lengthwise so that the cable sheath may be removed with a slight pull. The tool includes a pair of handles which are hinged at one end. The opposite end of one of the handles includes a pair of blades which are spaced apart and which "slice" across the cable sheath and then pass clear the cable when the handles are squeezed together. A pair of slitting blades located within the handles engage the insulation on the remaining opposite sides of the cable. The tool is then drawn down the length of the cable away from the original cut to complete the operation.
