Abstract
A hose cutoff device or tool is disclosed which is especially adapted for cutting lengths of hose for use in hose assemblies for automotive air-conditioning systems. The device or tool comprises a base which is provided with axially-spaced, axially aligned, tubes for the reception of the hose to be cut, and with a manually-operable handle which is pivotally secured to the base, and is provided with a cutter blade which is movable through the hose to sever the hose into desired lengths. The cutter blade is of unique design or construction, is removably secured to the handle, and can be quickly and easily replaced when worn. A guard is provided for limiting movement of the handle away from the base and for partially enclosing the cutter blade.
