A wire cutter having a pair of partially overlapping blade-shaped jaws pivotally connected, each jaw having an operating handle, a pin in one jaw blade being received in a slot in the other jaw blade to limit the pivotal movement, a plurality of holes in said jaw blades, said holes being countersunk in the outer surface of one of said blades, said holes being in alignment when said handles are in the maximum open position for the insertion of a wire to be cut, said holes in non-alignment when said handles are squeezed, thereby permitting said blades to cut wire, and a spring between said handles to return said handles to the open position.
