Abstract
A cutting tool designed to provide a straight line cut through plastic or like material conduit and incorporating pivoted handles respectively including a cutting blade and a positioning anvil formed at the distal ends thereof and in cooperative relation to one another so that the conduit product positioned in the anvil will be maintained in a cutting position to achieve an accurate straight line cut. A return spring, a stop element and a closed end configuration are provided on the remainder of the handles, substantially adjacent to the proximal ends thereof to prevent nesting engagement of the handles during the cutting operation and maintain predetermined spaced relation between the ends of the handle so as to insure their separation and return to a cutting position once gripping pressure is released.
