Abstract
A cutting tool includes a housing, a head assembly disposed on the housing and carrying a first blade. A cam drive mechanism is disposed within the housing. The cam drive mechanism carries a second blade opposed to the first blade. A motor drives the cam drive mechanism. A battery pack is electrically connected to the motor. The cam drive mechanism moves the second blade towards the first blade, so that a wire disposed between the first and second blades receives a cutting force of less than 12 kiloNewton. The cam drive mechanism may include a spindle driven by the motor, a radial cam fixed to the spindle, a roller assembly contacting the radial cam, and a shuttle connected to the roller assembly, the shuttle being movable in a reciprocating motion and carrying the second blade.
