ABSTRACT:
A hookbill wire cutter specially designed to cut wire mesh components features a pair of opposing handles connected to a pair of jaws. Each jaw features an arcuate blade having a flat cutting portion and a tapered portion. The jaws are pivotally joined to open and close when the handles are actuated so that the blade cutting portions overlap in a scissor-like fashion. One of the arcuate blades features a notched tip that engages a wire member perpendicular to the wire member being cut. As a result, the wire cutter may be quickly and easily positioned. The arcuate blades are dimensioned to substantially surround a wire member so that the wire member is sheared flush when the jaws of the wire cutter are closed. As a result, generally smooth and flat cut wire ends are produced.
