ABSTRACT:
A locking pliers and wire cutter combination tool having a handle with mutually spaced parallel flanges with edges extending across a cutting zone. A wire cutting notch is formed in the edge of one flange and the other is provided with a ramp aligned with the base of the notch. A fixed jaw is attached between the flanges and a movable jaw is pivotally connected opposite the fixed jaw. The movable jaw includes a cutting blade arranged to traverse the cutting zone and a spring urges the movable jaw into an open position. An operating lever and connecting link are connected in such a manner as to actuate the movable jaw. The single notch reliably retains the wire within the cutting zone while insuring that shearing occurs at only one location.
