ABSTRACT:
A hand tool for cutting an axially extending severable web of insulating material connecting two axially elongate cables in parallel axially spaced apart relation to each other has a generally cylindrical blade holder defining a bore for receiving one of the cables therethrough. A first slot communicates with the bore to receive the severable web. A second slot communicates with the first notch and opens outwardly through the peripheral surface of the blade holder to receive the other of the cables. A blade pivotally supported on the blade holder for movement between a cutting position, wherein the blade extends across the first slot, and a retracted position wherein the blade is disposed at one side of the first slot is normally biased toward its cutting position. Insertion of one of the cables into the bore and through the blade holder causes the blade to pivot to its retracted position allowing free movement of the tool relative to the one cable. Reverse movement of the blade holder relative to the one cable causes the blade to pierce the web and assume its cutting position wherein it extends across the first slot to cut the severable web as the tool is pulled off of the cable.
