ABSTRACT:
A hand-operated tool for cutting fibrous compressible insulation batts, and similar fibrous compressible materials. The tool, includes an elongated cutter blade housing, and a planar sheet of plexiglass, bent into a "C"-shaped configuration. End portions of the "C"-shaped plexiglass sheet fit over the ends of the cutter blade housing, so that the "C"-shaped sheet forms a presser element for the insulation batt, when placed on the top surface thereof. When the cutter blade is drawn through the batt material, the presser element compresses the material into a relatively small thickness, so that the cutter blade is enabled to completely penetrate the batt material. An insulation batt, therefore, can be neatly and completely severed, with one pass of the cutting tool.
