ABSTRACT:
A heavy-duty industrial tool has a working jaw mechanism operated by a pair of handles that are squeezed together. The upper handle has a main non-metallic handle member to whose sides are fastened a pair of stamped metal side members. These side members are in-laid into recesses in the sides of the non-metallic member to form a gripping portion. Forwardly of the gripping portion, the widths of the metallic members increase to form a throat within which the lower handle is pivotally mounted. The lower handle contains a stack of laminations, including a cutting blade that is forward of the pivot to form the upper jaw of the tool. The lower jaw is an anvil member that joins to flanges of the metal side members of the upper handle. When the tool is used to cut tensioned strapping, a resilient metal bracket attached to the blade presses the strapping against the anvil on opposite sides of the blade and deforms to absorb energy that is released by the strapping upon severing.
